Plant captures and recycles CO2, supports DENSO goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035
KARIYA, Japan, April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DENSO Corporation today announced it has begun testing a CO2 circulation plant at its Anjo Plants Electrification Innovation Center.
The new plant is a demonstration facility designed to capture and recycle CO2, a capability that supports DENSOs larger efforts to eliminate CO2 emissions from its facilities.
The CO2 circulation plant,* is designed to capture CO2 primarily generated by the plant and recycle it as an energy source for the facility and other uses.
Today, DENSO starts releasing videos and articles on its website focusing on the CO2 circulation plant.

"This collaboration with Lehigh Hanson will prove the commercial scalability, the quality of the final product, and the competitive economics of the Fortera process," said Dr. Ryan Gilliam, CEO and Co-Founder of Fortera.

Key Points:

"This collaboration with Lehigh Hanson will prove the commercial scalability, the quality of the final product, and the competitive economics of the Fortera process," said Dr. Ryan Gilliam, CEO and Co-Founder of Fortera.
Fortera's process was designed to allow cement producers to progressively transition to lower carbon emissions through adoption of the carbon capture technology on-site.
"There isn't another competitive low carbon cement technology that reduces CO2 by 60% and has a realistic pathway to zero carbon emissions.
Fortera promises to show the world there is a way to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in a cost-effective manner.

Evaluations are based on information disclosed in response to questions sent to the companies regarding such topics as climate change and water security.

Key Points:

Evaluations are based on information disclosed in response to questions sent to the companies regarding such topics as climate change and water security.
Under its Action for Green environmental vision, introduced in 2008, Canon aims to strike a beneficial balance between enriching lifestyles and protecting the Earth's environment.
Canon set a goal of annually reducing lifecycle CO2 emissions for each product by 3%.
Based on these programs and ongoing efforts, Canon has received high praise and been awarded a spot on the CDP's A-list for both of the above categories.

Potsdam, NY, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkson University research, which shows how surplus milk may be used to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossilfuel based power plant emissions, is featured on the front cover of the November issue ofAdvanced Sustainable Systems.

Potsdam, NY, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkson University research, which shows how surplus milk may be used to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossilfuel based power plant emissions, is featured on the front cover of the November issue ofAdvanced Sustainable Systems.
Two major sources of greenhouse gases are CO2 emissions from fossil-based power plants and methane emissions from cattle.
Thearticle, "CO2 Capture: Dry and Wet CO2 Capture from MilkDerived Microporous Carbons with Tuned Hydrophobicity," explains that it is possible to greatly reduce power plant CO2 emissions by using surplus or waste milk from cows to create activated carbons, which will adsorb or scrub the CO2 from the output.
"Think of extremely dark roast holey coffee beans," says co-author University of Texas at Austin and former Clarkson Professor David Mitlin.

Sinopec invited thought leaders and experts in the fields of climate change, energy and chemical industry to conduct in-depth research on the strategic path of having CO2 emissions peak and achieve carbon neutral before 2030 following China's action plan.

Key Points:

Sinopec invited thought leaders and experts in the fields of climate change, energy and chemical industry to conduct in-depth research on the strategic path of having CO2 emissions peak and achieve carbon neutral before 2030 following China's action plan.
Zhang Yuzhuo, a research fellow and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chairman of the board of Sinopec, noted that achieving the goal of reaching the CO2 emissions peak and going carbon neutral is both a great responsibility and profound revolution for the energy and chemical industry.
Carbon emissions peak refers to the inflection point of total CO2 emission, after which the emissions will begin to decline.
The carbon neutral target aims to achieve low-carbon and zero-carbon transformation of energy, realizes zero CO2 emissions, reduce other types of greenhouse gas emissions significantly as well as total man-made greenhouse gas emissions to zero through increasing carbon sinks and artificial negative emission measures.
