Lehigh University's Energy Research Center (ERC) has been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop methods of recovering and reusing the heat that would be generated by the carbon-dioxide (CO2) compression process in a carbon capture system. The goal of the research project is to facilitate carbon capture and sequestration, or storage (CCS), and thus limit the amount of CO2, a greenhouse gas, emitted into the atmosphere by coal-fired power plants. http://www.physorg.com/news177940311.html Space & Earth Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:54:44 EST news177940311 Toshiba Corporation today announced that it has completed construction of a pilot plant to support development and validation of its carbon capture technology. Final commissioning testing prior to plant operation was completed and research and test operation will formally commence today. The pilot plant is located in Sigma Power Ariake Co. Ltd.'s Mikawa Power Plant, in Omuta City, Japan. http://www.physorg.com/news173429638.html Technology Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:20:07 EST news173429638 Boost Mobile, a division of Sprint that offers wireless phones and services with no contracts and Motorola announced today the launch of its first push-to-talk slider phone. The Motorola Debut i856 gives Boost Mobile customers full advantage of a handset that glides open and closed with ease for instant communication. Motorola Debut will be available to consumers today with free shipping for the price of $169.99. http://www.physorg.com/news171132166.html Electronics Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:50:02 EST news171132166 (PhysOrg.com) -- A juggler and a conductor were among the artists who helped create a device which can retrieve dozens of different movement sequences in a matter of minutes. http://www.physorg.com/news163082930.html Technology Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:49:31 EST news163082930 The University of Nottingham is to share in £6.9m of research funding to investigate carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies which could drastically cut CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel power stations. The funding from E.ON and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council is to support four university-led projects. http://www.physorg.com/news161257813.html Space & Earth Mon, 11 May 2009 10:50:36 EST news161257813 (PhysOrg.com) -- New research shows that for millions of years carbon dioxide has been stored safely and naturally in underground water in gas fields saturated with the greenhouse gas. The findings - published in Nature today - bring carbon capture and storage a step closer. http://www.physorg.com/news157814050.html Space & Earth Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:14:36 EST news157814050 Construction of new coal-fired power plants in the United States is in danger of coming to a standstill, partly due to the high cost of the requirement - whether existing or anticipated - to capture all emissions of carbon dioxide, an important greenhouse gas. But an MIT analysis suggests an intermediate step that could get construction moving again, allowing the nation to fend off growing electricity shortages using our most-abundant, least-expensive fuel while also reducing emissions. http://www.physorg.com/news146144305.html Technology Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:38:25 EST news146144305 University of Calgary climate change scientist David Keith and his team are working to efficiently capture the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide directly from the air, using near-commercial technology. http://www.physorg.com/news141915261.html Space & Earth Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:54:21 EST news141915261 Scientists at Durham University (UK) are working on new ways of storing CO2 emissions underground to help in the fight against global warming. http://www.physorg.com/news136028726.html Space & Earth Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:45:26 EST news136028726 Nutrients from the Amazon River spread well beyond the continental shelf and drive carbon capture in the deep ocean, according to the authors of a multi-year study. http://www.physorg.com/news135878497.html Space & Earth Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:01:37 EST news135878497 Professional skiers can now learn how to ski faster with the aid of a new system used to capture 3D motion of athletic movements - Fusion Motion Capture (FMC). Featured in Wiley-Blackwell`s journal, Sports Technology, this is the first time the study of FMC has been published in a journal. http://www.physorg.com/news134139434.html Technology Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:57:14 EST news134139434
