RWE produces synthetic fuel from flue gas

ALIGN-CCUS project partners at RWE have produced synthetic fuel using carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from the flue gas of a coal-fired power station. The breakthrough has been made at RWE’s Niederaussem Power Station in North Rhine-Westphalia. Using a demonstration synthesis unit, which powered up last November. It is the first time that producing dimethyl ether […]

High efficient catalyst turns CO2 into complex hydrocarbons

A new catalyst developed by a team of Brown researchers converts CO2 efficiently into complex hydrocarbon products. With a faradaic efficiency of 72 percent the catalyst converts waste carbon into complex hydrocarbons like ethylene. In a study the researchers report a catalyst that can produce C2-plus compounds with up to 72% faradaic efficiency. This measure […]

ESA approves Norwegian Full-Scale CCS

Cement producer Norcem and waste-to-energy plant Fortum Oslo Varma receive up to 2.1 billion euro from EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA) for capturing and storing CO2. The CCS Full-Scale project is part of Norway’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. The approved project would allow for the establishment of carbon capture facilities at Norcem, a cement factory […]
