NET Power Announces its First Utility-Scale Clean Energy Power Plant Integrated with CO2 Sequestration

"NET Power’s transformational technology produces power while inherently capturing nearly all emissions with its patented oxy-fuel combustion and supercritical CO2 cycle. These plants produce clean, on-demand power at low cost and address critical issues of air quality and land use, virtually eliminating air emissions including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and carbon dioxide (CO2)."

Carbon Engineering begins work on supporting multi-million tonne Direct Air Capture facilities in South Texas

"CE has been contracted by its U.S. development partner, 1PointFive, for the front-end planning and engineering of a one-megatonne DAC facility that is intended to be replicated into multi-million tonne deployments. The design is being adapted from the first large-scale, commercial facility to use CE’s DAC technology, which is already under construction in the Texas Permian Basin, and is anticipated to form the basis of accelerated large-scale deployments in the U.S."

Pacific Northwest is a hub for fusion companies chasing power’s ‘holy grail’

"To create fusion, one must first generate a plasma — a superheated gas and the most energetic of the four states of matter — where two nuclei smash into each other, forming a new atom and releasing energy. Plasmas are created in a wide variety of devices that can reach temperatures hotter than the sun and must contain the reactions for a sufficient amount of time. The energy given off by the reactions is captured and converted into electricity."

Carbon Re spins out of academia-land to take on cement pollution

"Planet A Ventures, a Berlin-based climate tech venture capital firm, led the £4.2 million round, with participation from Clean Growth Fund, UCL Technology Fund and Cambridge Enterprise. The new investment will enable Carbon Re to focus on rolling out its product to the global cement market. The next target the company has set itself is to expand into other energy-intensive industries, such as steel and glass."

There are 280 billion tons of mining waste. This startup is putting it to good use

There are 280 billion tons of mining waste. This startup is putting it to good use

"Now, it’s working to partner with mining companies that want to get rid of waste (and potentially, in some cases, remediate old mining land so that it can have other uses, like a park). It’s also targeting old mines where waste has been sitting for decades—or even as long ago as the 1880s. Because it starts with waste,and doesn’t have to invest in drilling into the earth,the cost of the final materials can compete with minerals from polluting mines in China and other countries."

This startup seals your leaky home so you waste less energy and reduce your bill

This startup seals your leaky home so you waste less energy and reduce your bill

"The system is relatively simple, and akin to fixing a flat tire. It first pressurizes the ducts or building envelope with a fan, then injects micron-sized particles, which, as they try to escape the building or any space, automatically adhere to the gaps and seals them. The particles are made of a non-toxic, non-flammable emulsion of water and vinyl acetate, according to the company, which adds that these are some of the same ingredients found in pacifiers and chewing gum."

Ascension Parish eyed for $7.5 billion ‘blue’ ammonia plant from Texas energy startup

Ascension Parish eyed for $7.5 billion ‘blue’ ammonia plant from Texas energy startup

"Should it come to fruition, the facility would be built on 1,700 acres in the RiverPlex MegaPark, a 17,000-acre swath of land in Ascension Parish that is bordered to the north by the Mississippi River and to the east by Iberville Parish. It is close to industrial feedstocks, ports and other facilities such as BASF, CF Industries and Honeywell, to name a few."
