8 Rivers announces 8RH2 CO2 Convective Reformer for ultra-low carbon hydrogen production from natural gas

Green Car Congress

8 Rivers Capital announced the development of the 8RH2 CO 2 Convective Reformer—a technology for the production of ultra-low carbon hydrogen from natural gas. It uses the oxy-combustion of carbon fuels and a high-pressure supercritical CO 2 working fluid in a highly recuperated cycle that captures all emissions by design.

EIA: California drought will decrease hydropower, increase natural gas use and CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

EIA expects that level of decrease in hydropower generation would lead to an 8% increase in California’s electricity generation from natural gas, a 6% increase in energy-related carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions in the state, and an average 5% increase in wholesale electricity prices throughout the West given the current system configuration.

Researchers create salts for cheap and efficient CO2 capture; mimicking methane hydrate

Green Car Congress

Qiang Xu of Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) have developed a promising method for carbon capture and storage using a single-crystalline guanidinium sulfate-based clathrate salt. Methane hydrate is studied for its ability to capture and trap gas molecules such as carbon dioxide under high pressure.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new method to convert captured CO 2 into methane, the primary component of natural gas. Conventionally, plant operators can capture CO 2 by using special solvents that douse flue gas before it’s emitted from plant chimneys. Heldebrant, D.,
