Scientists at Queen's University Belfast have made a major breakthrough by making a porous liquid - with the potential for a massive range of new technologies including 'carbon capture'.
Less Than 1% Of Sweden's Trash Ends Up In Landfills
Humans produce an astonishing amount of trash and we all know it’s not good for the environment. We can shove it away in landfills, but there are numerous environmental problems associated with these ugly rubbish dumps.
EPRI Details Advanced Coal Generation Technologies to Meet CO2 Emissions Limits Without Carbon Capture & Storage
Carbon capture with underground storage (CCS) is considered by many to be the best option to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal-fired power plants. But development and application of CCS systems face significant technology, policy, and cost challenges.
Shell launches carbon capture project
Shell Canada started its carbon capture project in Alberta. As Tom Vernon explains, the company feels this is a big environmental step forward.
DOE-Funded Research Yields U.S. Patent for Use of CO2 in Concrete Curing
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued a patent to Solidia Technologies Inc. (Piscataway, NJ) for a process that uses carbon dioxide (CO2) rather than water to cure pre-cast concrete. Development of the process was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
Deep-sea bacteria could neutralise greenhouse gas, researchers reveal
A type of bacteria found at the bottom of the ocean could neutralise large amounts of industrial carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, a U.S. study has found.
Ion’s Carbon Capture Technology Captures 99% of CO2
Carbon capture technology company Ion Engineering says it has completed the first pilot scale testing of its proprietary solvent and process technology for the removal of carbon dioxide from large-point sources including natural gas and coal-fired power plants.
