Global community dedicated carbon capture and storage
CCS is a climate change technology that can prevent the emission of large quantities of CO2 in the atmosphere from the use of fossil fuels. Carbon capture and storage is a proven technology and has been in commercial operation for decades. There are three basic types of CO2 capture: pre-combustion, post-combustion and oxyfuel. Below you can find news related to the technology. If you wish to receive regular news in your inbox, then please subscribe to our newsletter.
GE and Svante will collaborate to develop and evaluate innovative solid sorbent technologies for carbon capture from natural gas power generation. GE’s commitment to carbon capture includes Svante agreement and internal investment to complement internal carbon management research.
The recent installation of Samskip’s first CO2 exhaust gas cleaning system on one of its shortsea vessels is another example of Samskip’s commitment to sustainable solutions and was performed while docked at shipyard Royal Niestern Sander.
As part of this new project, HBIS and BHP will trial pilot-scale demonstrations of carbon capture and utilisation technologies at HBIS’ steel operations in China. The trial will develop and test technologies that can be integrated into steel production processes to reduce the CO2 emissions.
Together, ABB and Pace CCS will apply their respective expertise to make it easier for industrial companies to implement CCS infrastructure by lowering the CAPEX and operational investment required to enter this market.
The MOU has the potential to expand the significant LNG relationship that Chevron and JERA have, and further demonstrates the commitment and dedication both companies have to advancing lower carbon solutions.
CarbonFree’s SkyCycleTM captures and utilizes carbon emissions from hard-to-abate industrial sources by converting CO2 into specialty chemicals, including calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate comprises more than 4% of the earth’s crust and is found throughout the world as chalk, limestone and marble.
Find here some commonly asked questions about Carbon Capture and their answers
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) or carbon capture and sequestration is the process of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it enters the atmosphere, transporting it, and storing it (carbon sequestration) for centuries or millennia. Usually the CO2 is captured from large point sources, such as coal-fired power plant, a chemical plant or biomass power plant, and then stored in an underground geological formation.
The aim is to prevent the release of CO2 from heavy industry with the intent of mitigating the effects of climate change. Although CO2 has been injected into geological formations for several decades for various purposes, including enhanced oil recovery, the long-term storage of CO2 is a relatively new concept.
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) and CCS are sometimes discussed collectively as carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS). This is because CCS is a relatively expensive process yielding a product with an intrinsic low value (i.e. CO2). Hence, carbon capture makes economically more sense when being combined with a utilization process where the cheap CO2 can be used to produce high-value chemicals to offset the high costs of capture operations.
