The latent potential of unrecyclable plastic waste to be put to better value-added uses has not be unlocked yet, but the potential is there. The message comes from Ed VanDyne, CEO of US startup Plastic to Green, which has a proposition to use plasma-based technologies, using ionised gas, to convert all types of waste plastic into three key materials of real value: green ammonia, carbon black, and nitrogen-doped graphene. What’s striking about this is the intrinsic value of these outputs, which make the economics of the whole venture look very strong on paper. “Nitrogen-doped graphene is valued at about $2000 per gram today, with many essential uses in markets that are growing fast,” said VanDyne. “Carbon black, similarly, is a fine black powder made from elemental carbon and it has a growing list of valuable… Read More »Plastic ‘can be ammonia feedstock and more,’ says startup CEO | single trailer-sized space
A proposed storage development in the Irish Sea has the potential to double the UK’s limited natural gas storage capacity, while also being designed to accommodate future low-carbon molecules such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The project is being advanced by Dublin-based dCarbonX, which earlier this year secured a licence from the North Sea Transition Authority to redevelop the depleted Bains gas field. If developed, the site could provide several days of backup supply for the UK, which has historically relied heavily on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes and pipeline flows to balance seasonal demand. Gas storage has become a renewed priority since the closure of the Rough gas storage facility in 2017 and the market volatility triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. At present, the UK’s storage capacity covers less than 2% of… Read More »Irish Sea project could grow UK gas storage and pave way for hydrogen | Gases | Gas News
