CO2 capture technologies

GRID-Arendal is a Norwegian foundation that supports the United Nations Environment Programme.  It is a centre of excellence for the scientific analysis of environmental issues in many areas including environmental assessments, ocean issues and polar regions.

The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) organized a workshop on accelerating clean energy technology transformation with private sector during the Asia Clean Energy Forum 2019 in Manila, Philippines.  This European Commission supported workshop was attended by 60 energy professionals and organized in partnership with the Asian Development Bank and co-supported by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan.

Carbon Counts is a private sector organization established in 2008. It is an independent consultancy providing a range of advice in the field of climate change. It has a focus on international climate change policy, in particular technology development, deployment, financing and regulation. 

Carbon capture technologies are only as good as their ability to prevent leaking of carbon dioxide back into the environment. Utilities that invest in advanced coal plants with carbon capture technologies need to prove that the carbon stays where it is stored. The mixing of carbon dioxide from biofuel production also requires monitoring.

This invention provides a chemical synthesis route that creates iron oxide-based nanoparticles as a byproduct of a carbon dioxide storage process. Technology Applications: •Produce high purity hydrogen gas from steam and sequestration-ready carbon dioxide from syngas. •Recover iron from magnesium-bearing minerals. •Synthesize iron oxide particles during carbon mineral sequestration. •Capture carbon dioxide using mineral sequestration with magnesium-bearing minerals.
