Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a novel technique that significantly advances the conversion of waste carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals and fuels.
Northwestern University will lead the newest Midwestern hub, uniting prominent partners from research and industry. The Department of Energy (DOE) is supporting early-stage project development of these Regional Direct Air Capture Hubs. The Northwestern-led hub will test the feasibility of using nuclear energy as a more energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) aims to facilitate the development of this direct air capture that the International Energy Agency says will be a “key technology” for combating global warming.
ExxonMobil, NTU, and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) have established the ExxonMobil-NTU-A*STAR Corporate Lab to develop solutions that would help lower carbon emissions, contribute to resource efficiency, and help build a more sustainable future.
On 11 April, the Research Council of Norway announced an investment of 180 MNOK in a new research centre on carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS) in Norway. gigaCCS is a Centre for Environment-Friendly Energy Research (FME) that will advance Norway’s expertise in CCS, as well as support the global implementation of CCS at a gigatonne scale.
