Methanation

The massive emissions of CO2 from the utilization of fossil fuels have caused a series of environmental issues and climate change. Driven by the fast development of green hydrogen and CO2 capture technologies, the hydrogenation of CO2 to hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals is becoming a promising process for the reduction of carbon footprint and the storage of renewable energy. Photothermal catalysis enables efficient…

In Nebraska, Green Plains Inc, Tallgrass and Osaka Gas USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan-based Osaka Gas, announced the commencement of a joint feasibility study to evaluate the production of up to 200,000 tons per year of synthetic methane in the U.S. Midwest. The project partners aim to produce synthetic methane from low-carbon hydrogen […]

The hydrogen-powered vehicle covered more than 1,200 miles on a single tank of gas.

In Australia, Santos continues to build momentum to deliver new energy solutions by partnering with Japan's largest gas utility company, Tokyo Gas, to investigate the potential for producing carbon-neutral e-methane in Australia. E-methane is made by combining green hydrogen and CO2 obtained from carbon capture of industrial emissions or Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. The […]

In the UK, Topsoe and Standard Gas have signed a MoU to collaborate on a UK-based project to produce renewable natural gas and methanol from residual waste feedstocks. Topsoe will supply its proprietary technologies, including its methanation and methanol technologies, for the project, which will either be owned and operated by Standard Gas or licensed […]

The aim of this special issue is to draw attention to possible microbially induced challenges in the storage of hydrogen in the subsurface. What influence can microbiological processes have on the storage of hydrogen? What consequences can occur, what products can arise (e.g., toxic or corrosive H2S), how can the risk be reduced, and how can we model, simulate in the laboratory, or predict the potential risks?The…

In Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering, Ltd. (MHIENG) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (MHIEC) – two group companies of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), both based in Yokohama – are poised to commence demonstration testing of equipment for separation, capture and effective utilization of CO2 emissions from a local waste-to-energy […]
