The latest carbon dioxide industry news from
the gas industry across the globe.
A new geo-engineering concept is being proposed, by a former UK government advisor, for a climate change ‘insurance policy’ to cope with global warming.
Algae are exceptionally gifted chemists and help climate protection. This is because algae take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and sunlight to produce chemicals such as carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. In special cases they even produce bioethanol, which is a...

Global Thermostat LLC (GT) (www.global thermostat.com) was formed in 2006 to develop and commercialize a unique technology for the direct capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and other sources. The GT process “co-generates” carbon capture with other industrial processes—such as power...
The demand for hydrogen (H2) is rapidly increasing in chemical and petrochemical industries due to the continued growth in demand for low sulfur fuels and to support unconventional oil sands development. Increased demand for hydrogen, while good for the industrial gas...
In the United States today, there are approximately 189 ethanol plants. CryoGas International estimates that about 25 percent of these recover CO2. (See “US Carbon Dioxide Market Report,” on p. 24 of this issue.) Ethanol plant development in the US had been growing steadily...
Companies in the United States that emit more than 25,000 tons/year of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent must now report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will require large emitters of heat-trapping emissions to begin...
The Gerhart Scale Corporation (Gerhart) (www.gerhart.com) began as an industrial scale distributor that supplied the transportation and manufacturing sectors. For the industrial gas sector, Gerhart’s scales service highway- and plant-located truck scale systems for merchant bulk weight and fill control systems for...
With the on-going political discussion of carbon cap-and-trade, sequestration, and other environmental initiatives, Cool Clean Technologies, Inc. (www.coolclean.com) has witnessed confusion among its customers that are considering the purchase of carbon dioxide-based equipment for cleaning, cooling, and extraction applications.
Right now the world is full of green rhetoric, which can be a bit oxymoronic. A greenhouse for plants is good; but greenhouse gases are bad. We all enjoy “The Green, Green Grass of Home” but we also can be...
