Mascoma Corporation has entered into a feedstock processing and lignin supply agreement with Chevron Technology Ventures (CTV), a division of Chevron USA, Inc. Chevron and lignin for fuels. Chevron says tests have shown that this produced water does not inhibit the lignin conversion. Earlier post.)
million cooperative agreement with the US Department of Energy to test an innovative method for producing liquid transportation fuels from coal and biomass, thereby improving the economics and lifecycle impacts of coal-to-liquid (CTL) and coal-biomass-to-liquid (CBTL) processes. Southern Research Institute has entered into a $1.5-million
Ceres recently released a new report concluding that coal-to-liquid (CTL) and oil shale technologies face significant environmental and financial obstacles—from water constraints, to technological uncertainties to regulatory and market risks—that pose substantial financial risks for investors involved in such projects.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has granted Reaction Design one of seven awards for a project intended to support the full-scale implementation and operation of highly efficient coal-based power generation technologies with near-zero emissions. Earlier post.).
A team from the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Chevron Corporation has examined the chemical composition and properties of several diesel fuels and blendstocks derived from Fischer?Tropsch coal to liquid by Fischer?Tropsch. terpenoid hydrocarbon from sugar fermentation. hydroisomerized camelina oil.
“They must think we’re retarded, taking money from Chevron and Exxon for our schools, scholarships, sponsoring environmental programs – can you believe that s**t?” “Do you think we ever hear the truth about what Chevron and Exxon are doing to kill the climate? Artist sketch of Rue. ” Seldom Seen snarled.
Lux charted the investment counts (rather than invested companies) of the seven most active oil majors in its database: Shell, BP, Total, Valero, Chevron, Petrobras and Reliance. Total and Chevron are the most active corporate investors in the fermentation domain.
billion barrels of liquid fuels and chemicals from coal and natural gas. Sasol converts gas and coal into liquid fuels, fuel components and chemicals through proprietary Fischer-Tropsch (FT) processes. Sasol has used its proprietary technology for more than 60 years to produce more than 1.6 Earlier post.)
Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. In prior work with DOE, MTR has advanced membrane CO 2 capture technology for coal power plants through small engineering scale testing and studies. Chevron USA.
Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Ritts, most recently with Chevron Asia Pacific Exploration & Production Co., —Mark Zoback, a professor of geophysics and NGI’s director. US emissions of CO 2 have declined to the level of the mid-1990s.
Coal still supplies more power in the US than anything else, with natural gas next. However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output. Chevron, ExxonMobil and Shell cannot stop this; they will begin to bleed trillions of miles per year.
But our friends in the oil, coal and gas industry have 5,795 gigatons of carbon on the books. E&B, along with their counterparts at Chevron, Exxon/Mobil, BP, Shell et al know internally exactly what The Math says. It’s already figured into their companies value and stock price.
Yeah, I’m talking to you Exxon/Mobil mercenaries who work at the Torrance refinery and you amoral assassins who get your blood money from the Chevron refinery in El Segundo. We’re going to end the use of coal in this country in the next ten years and we’re going to phase out the use of oil for transportation.
By “quickly,” I mean in 10 to 15 minutes while shopping or eating – not sitting at a Chevron station somewhere). Customer convenience will be predicated on the ability to charge quickly while on the road in many locations. (By As a civilization, we have committed ourselves to electricity and we must make cleaner electricity.
“ But some scientists say that weaning the world off coal is crucial to slowing the devastating effects of climate change. In fact, what that limp-wristed closing sentence in their article on the Coen Brother’s new anti-coal commercial really does is carry water for Killer Coal. “ Really, Los Angeles Times?
Dr. Don Paul is the Executive Director, University of Southern California Energy Institute and a former vice president and chief technology officer of Chevron. Energy Markets in a State of Change. Dr. Paul addressed a positive change—the days of increasing US oil consumption may be over. “
Even if you charge your EV with electricity made from coal fired generators you reduce your car’s pollution by half. Chevron owns the NiMH patents and have not allowed EV size batts to be built. Read more in this blog post: [link] — Gregory Hancock 5. If you charge with solar, is way less.
Estimations of the likelihood of these destructive actions can be informed by the period between 2017-2021, which was marked by severe corruption by two EPA heads with deep ties to the oil & gas and coal industries.
