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.
Methanex Corporation and Entropy Inc. have entered into an agreement to invest in a Preliminary Front-End Engineering and Design study for carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (“CCUS”) deployment at Methanex’s Medicine Hat, Alberta facility.
