Carbon Capture
Shell, Eni lead funding round for carbon capture firm Mantel Capture
European oil majors Shell and Eni have led an early stage funding round for climate technology startup Mantel Capture, which aims to use molten salts to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at refineries, factories and other industrial sites.
U.S. CCS stakeholders must overcome serious trust deficits to meet net-zero potential, new research shows
Worley, a global professional services company of energy, chemicals and resources experts, and researchers at Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, have identified that a lack of trust between project stakeholders is slowing the pace of infrastructure delivery that is critical to net-zero.
Linde to invest $2 B in Canada to supply hydrogen to Dow's Alberta chemical complex
Industrial gases firm Linde said it would invest more than $2 B to build a clean hydrogen facility for supplying to Dow's Path2Zero production complex in Alberta, Canada.
Carbon Clean, PETRONAS CCS Solutions ink MoU to collaborate and evaluate Carbon Clean’s CCS technology
Carbon Clean, a leader in revolutionizing carbon capture solutions, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with PETRONAS CCS Solutions Sdn Bhd (PCCSS), a subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), to jointly collaborate and evaluate Carbon Clean’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.
Review steam system designs to accelerate chemical industry decarbonization
Industrial steam systems range from simple systems comprising a low-pressure single steam user to a complex system with multiple pressure levels, multiple generators and multiple users integrated with an onsite cogeneration facility. This article will present the typical CO2 emissions estimates for chemical and petrochemical facilities and describe options available to reduce these emissions through additional heat integration, fuel switching, and the use of heat pumps and electric boilers.
The attractive market opportunity for synthetic graphite: Graphite as an energy transition material (4)
Given the attractive demand projection, investors must understand the benefits and return on investment for natural and synthetic graphite routes. This article establishes the pros and cons for each, and specifically highlights the emerging opportunity for upgrading and repurposing smaller petcoke units to needle coke units, therefore contributing to fulfilling the rising demand for synthetic graphite.
Meet gasoline quality and process safety requirements through new alkylation technologies
The catalytic alkylation process is very attractive to countries with high gasoline consumption and a sizable availability of LPG. This process can produce high-octane gasoline with low levels of contaminants, although there are high capital investment and operational costs associated with this technology.
UCF researcher develops lotus-inspired tech to convert CO2 to fuels, chemicals
In an effort to reduce the environmental impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, a University of Central Florida (UCF) researcher has developed a new technology that captures carbon dioxide and outputs useful fuels and chemicals.
VTT opens a pilot plant in Finland utilizing captured CO2 to produce recyclable plastics
VTT, LUT University and companies have opened a pilot plant in Espoo, Finland, to process captured CO2 into compounds that can replace fossil raw materials in plastic products and chemicals.
