Baker Institute-led group to develop nationwide protocol for paying ranchers and farmers to store carbon

Green Car Congress

Rice’s Baker Institute for Public Policy has initiated a working group to develop a United States protocol for paying ranchers and farmers to store carbon in their soil. We have assembled a diverse group that I feel sure will develop an excellent, defensible concept. We formed this group out of necessity. —Jim Blackburn.

Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. The CO 2 molecules react through natural mineralization processes with the basalt rock and are converted to carbonates over a period of several years, thus permanently storing the CO 2 underground.

HyMethShip seeks to fuel ship engines with hydrogen from methanol

Green Car Congress

The remaining carbon dioxide is stored in the tank and reused in onshore methanol production. In this concept, the ship is refueled with methanol at port. It is then fed into the engine, which it drives by burning in a conventional combustion engine and generates absolutely no exhaust gases that are harmful to the climate.

RINA awards Freudenberg e-Power Systems type-approval for methanol-powered fuel cell system

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen as a direct energy storage medium is also ruled out for these ship types, as its low volumetric energy density would require it to be stored in huge hydrogen tanks in a cryogenic or highly compressed state. The heat required for the reformer can be obtained directly from the waste heat of the fuel cells.
