Scrubber

Lithium batteries are in the news constantly. But lithium has plenty of other uses. It's a drug for bipolar disorder. It used to be put in soda for hangovers, and it saved the lives of the Apollo 13 astronauts. A little about lithium - a fascinating element.

In Minnesota, according to a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) enforcement investigation, Heartland Corn Products failed emission stack tests in November 2021 and February 2022 at its ethanol production facility in Winthrop, Minn. The tests show the company emitted both volatile organic compounds and particulate matter above what is allowed by its permit.  A carbon […]

Aerosol pollutants have masked the effects of global warming. Without them, the U.S. is about to get a lot wetter.

The Biden administration is proposing new limits on greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants, its most ambitious effort yet to roll back planet-warming pollution from the nation's second-largest contributor to climate change.

Instead of sucking planet-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, some scientists are looking to capture it from the oceans

The U.S. and Norwegian governments issued a global call to the shipping industry to do more to address climate concerns.

Researchers have developed a new membrane technology that allows for more efficient removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from mixed gases, such as emissions from power plants.

The Baltic Sea is considered one of the world's most polluted seas. Now, new research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, reveals a relatively unknown environmental culprit. The study shows that the discharge water from ships' exhaust gas treatment systems, so-called scrubbers, is responsible for up to 9% of certain emissions of carcinogenic and environmentally harmful substances in the Baltic Sea,…

A new study from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) estimates that ships in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway (GL-SLS) consumed more than 500,000 tons of fuel and emitted more than 1.6 million tons (Mt) of CO2 in 2019. The new, wide-ranging emissions inventory for 2019 also shows that ships flagged to the United States and Canada were together responsible for nearly 80% of total CO2…

A comprehensive lifecycle analysis of emissions-reduction measures for oceangoing cargo ships indicates that burning heavy fuel oil in conjunction with exhaust cleaning systems called scrubbers has an environmental impact comparable to burning low-sulfur fuels.

Air pollution tends to get worse before it gets better, but how can we accelerate this transition?

In Ohio, Babcock & Wilcox has been awarded a contract to conduct a full-scale feasibility study of its SolveBright carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology to be integrated into Mälarenergi AB's waste-to-energy plant in Västerås, Sweden. Mälarenergi's goal is to capture 400,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, permanently store the CO2 and achieve carbon neutrality […]

About $17B will build technology that can reduce emissions. But some worry it's being hijacked to keep U.S. burning fossil fuels.

In the UK, at the International Maritime Organization Pollution Prevention and Response meeting in London next week, the Clean Arctic Alliance will be calling on IMO member states to regulate black carbon emissions from ships, mandate cleaner fuels in the Arctic, and ban scrubber discharge in protected waters. "We call on IMO Member States to […]
