Researchers in Singapore have developed a process that converts shrimp shells and other organic waste into carbon-negative hydrogen, protein for aquaculture feed and calcium carbonate for construction materials, with commercialization efforts now underway.
MIT researchers have identified a new electrochemical approach to carbon capture using N-heterocyclic imine-based sorbents. The technology could reduce the energy demands of carbon capture systems while improving scalability and flexibility, offering a potential pathway toward more efficient carbon dioxide removal and utilization.
A new Carbon Direct report found that lengthy power grid interconnection delays in PJM and ERCOT could slow data center growth as electricity demand surges. The analysis showed most queued energy projects may never become operational, while approval timelines far exceed federal targets.
Aarhus University researchers have developed a method to convert discarded nitrile rubber gloves into a reusable material that captures carbon dioxide from flue gas, offering a potential solution for both waste management and industrial emissions.
Mercer Peace River Pulp and Svante have begun operating a CO₂ capture demonstration unit at a pulp mill in northern Alberta to evaluate solid sorbent carbon capture technology on biogenic emissions. The six-month pilot is intended to inform future engineering decisions and potential commercial-scale deployment in the pulp and paper industry.
