The Australian Government is supporting new ways to capture carbon dioxide and put it to use, to help reduce emissions from hard-to-abate industries and advance Australia’s net zero transformation. Through the Carbon Capture Technologies Program, the government is investing $65 million in 7 projects that will use emerging technologies to decarbonize hard-to-abate industrial processes and directly remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Carbon Capture LLC announced significant progress in its revolutionary carbon capture solution, developed in collaboration with Haydale Graphene Industries plc. Following a successful feasibility study, Carbon Capture has completed a prototype device leveraging Haydale's proprietary plasma functionalized graphene. The study demonstrated the efficacy of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using this innovative technology.
The Acorn Carbon transport and storage project, a project that aims to capture, transport and safely store CO2 emissions from across Scotland, will be granted £2 million from the Scottish Government.
Air Liquide's large scale CO₂ liquefaction technology, Cryocap™ LQ, has been selected by Stockholm Exergi to contribute to its Bio-Energy Carbon Capture & Storage (BECCS) project. The CO₂ liquefaction solution allows to transport CO₂ over long distances to carbon sinks for permanent storage, contributing to the viability of CCS projects and emergence of a low-carbon industry.
Conestoga Energy and SAFFiRE Renewables LLC announced on Nov. 16 their agreement for Conestoga to host SAFFiRE’s cellulosic ethanol pilot plant at Conestoga’s Arkalon Energy ethanol facility in Liberal, Kansas.
Consortium Aims to Bring Direct Air Capture to California California is leading the way in setting ambitious decarbonization goals and driving innovative solutions and cross-sector collaborations to address climate change. To help meet this need, a consortium of more than 40 organizations across industry, technology, academia, national labs, community, government, and labor was formed by Carbon TerraVault Holdings, LLC (CTV), a subsidiary of California Resources Corporation, to pursue Department of Energy (DOE) funding under its Regional Direct Air Capture (DAC) Hubs initiative to create the California DAC Hub, the state’s first full-scale DAC plus storage (DAC+S) network of regional hubs. In August 2023, the consortium was selected to receive $11.8 million in funding from the DOE, the largest amount of funding allocated to a California DAC project through this initiative. The first hub is targeted to launch in Kern County, California and the consortium will look to expand to other locations across the state.
