With a pilot project validating an innovative system to produce electricity from natural gas while generating near-zero emissions, NET Power LLC is leading a consortium to construct a 300 MW carbon-free generator in the Permian Basin. NET Power advanced the West Texas project following success with its supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) demonstration plant in 2018.…

Air Liquide SA, Chevron Corp., LyondellBasell and Uniper SE could “potentially advance” a hydrogen and ammonia facility on the Gulf Coast to support global industrial decarbonization. Neither a timeline to proceed, site location or estimated costs were provided. However, the evaluation would “cover the end-to-end energy value chain, utilizing each participant’s technical expertise in production,…

Colorado-based Carbon America has inked a deal for a project to capture and store about 175,000 tons/year of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Bridgeport Ethanol LLC production facility in Nebraska. The figure is equivalent to 95% of total emissions from the facility’s fermentation process, and would have the annual impact of taking 38,043 passenger vehicles…

Suncor Energy Inc. plans to sell its wind and solar portfolio for C$730 million ($547 million) to a subsidiary of Calgary-based Atco Industries Inc. Suncor CEO Kris Smith said the transaction with Canadian Utilities Ltd. (CUL) “streamlines our portfolio” to focus on oilsands, refining, hydrogen, renewable fuel, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). CUL Vice…

Climate technology company CarbonCapture Inc., which develops direct air capture (DAC) systems, has set a goal with carbon storage developer Frontier Carbon Solutions to permanently remove 5 million metric tons/year of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from Wyoming by 2030. The state was selected for the carbon sequestration project because of the “broad availability of renewable…

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) could more than double the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that can economically be abated via carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCUS), according to modeling by Enverus. Natural gas-fired power plants, oil refineries and upgraders, as well as cement production, are among the emitting sources that would…

Amid the Golden State’s latest strike against oil and natural gas leasing, the state’s largest producer, California Resources Corp. (CRC), said it would launch a carbon capture, storage and sequestration (CCS) venture to curb 5 million metric tons/year (mmty).
