Carbon Capture & Commercialization Inc. (CC&C) announced the successful patent approval of its revolutionary Direct Air Carbon Capture (DACC) technology, granted in an unprecedented six weeks through the U.S. Patent Office’s Track One application process. This achievement not only validates the strength of CC&C’s innovation but also positions the company to expedite commercialization and address the urgent global need for effective carbon removal solutions.
Heidelberg Materials has started a feasibility study for a decarbonisation project at its Rezzato Mazzano cement plant in the province of Brescia, which could become the first plant in Italy to produce carbon captured net-zero cement and concrete.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) issued a Notice of Intent to fund up to $1.3 billion to catalyze investments in transformative carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced an award of $4.2 million to Project Tundra. This is the first installment of up to $350 million to Project Tundra. These funds will be distributed through the fully-paid-for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program, which supports the development of community-informed integrated carbon capture, transport, and storage projects.
Technology group Wärtsilä has been contracted to supply its latest carbon capture and storage-ready scrubber systems for three container ships owned by German operator Leonhardt & Blumberg. A CCS-Ready solution will assure Leonhardt & Blumberg that it has continued regulatory compliance for SOx emissions today and opens the door to a smooth CCS system adoption in the future.
