ESG Clean Energy says CCS system captured 100% of CO2 from combustion exhaust stream

ESG Clean Energy says CCS system captured 100% of CO2 from combustion exhaust stream

July 17, 2024 |

In Massachusetts, ESG Clean Energy says its carbon capture system has achieved capturing 100% of the CO2 from a combustion exhaust stream, making it possible for any internal combustion engine – big or small – to have no carbon dioxide emissions. ESG’s carbon capture system consists of a two-step process; first removing the water from […]

Illinois researchers show a family of catalysts efficiently converts CO2 into ethanol and chemicals

Illinois researchers show a family of catalysts efficiently converts CO2 into ethanol and chemicals

July 11, 2024 |

In Illinois, carbon dioxide is leaking from industrial operations into the atmosphere, causing a cascade of dangerous changes to Earth’s climate. But some scientists wondered if instead it could instead be captured and converted to useful chemicals. A group of scientists with Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, Northern Illinois University and Valparaiso […]

Argonne researchers introduce Decarbonization Scenario Analysis Model

Argonne researchers introduce Decarbonization Scenario Analysis Model

April 18, 2024 |

In Illinois, while decarbonization pathways are complex, varied and specific to individual industries, clean-energy technologies and low- and zero-carbon fuels are integral to all carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation strategies across the U.S. economy. And as scientists develop strategies, they are also creating tools to assess them. Now, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) […]
