Podcasts about gasification

As the world continues to grapple with the impacts of climate change, there is increased focus on the need to mitigate the effects of carbon emissions and find cleaner ways to produce energy. This requires the adoption of diverse solutions that improve energy efficiency, maximize renewable energy sources, and leverage new and existing technologies. Marsh's Andrew Herring, Claire Williams, and Tom Smith explore three technologies — plastic waste to fuel, carbon capture and storage, and biofuels and bioenergy combined with carbon capture and storage — that can contribute to the energy transition as well as the associated risks and opportunities they present. You can access a transcript of the episode here. For more insights and insurance and risk management solutions, follow Marsh on LinkedIn and X and visit marsh.com

Earlier this month, ahead of ERTC: Ask the Experts, we had the honour of being joined by Marije Nijkamp from Shell Pernis, to discuss Shell Pernis' work in the energy transition and to bridge the talent gap in the industry, their involvement in Ask the Experts, and why conversational forums are useful for the industry and more. Marije discusses the innovative approach Shell Pernis are taking to the energy transition, as well as looking in more depth at the talent gap in the industry, what Shell are doing to bridge this, and upskill their talent, and much more.

The Burning Issue looks at different elements of the energy recovery sector, taking the starting point that while energy recovery has moved some waste out of landfill, where does the sector go from here? In the final episode of series two, the Burning Issue speaks to Christopher Philpot, senior associate at Trowers & Hamlins LLP.Philpot shines a light on the legal action that has followed several high-profile failures involving gasification-equipped energy-from-waste plants mainly designed to process refuse-derived fuel. This episode focuses on: Why a higher percentage of EfW deals have ended up in court when compared with similar industries Challenges waste-gasification plants have faced in getting through commissioning and then meeting contractual outputs.Major problems with the systems designed to move fuel through plants into the gasifier How to avoid the pitfalls other in the sector have fallen into And why you should “love your contracts” Hosted on Acast.

Yes, Burning Man has a Chief Technology Officer, and his name is Steven Blumenfeld. In this episode Stuart chats with “Bloom” about art, innovation, immediacy, and the power of the unexpected, with trippy side trips into AR, VR, and AI (and TLA).Yes, we have a CTO. We have all the enterprise tech needs of any not-small non-profit, with the added complications of ridiculously challenging work sites, a staff that's mostly seasonal volunteers, and an ethos rooted in Ten Principles that don't always line up with ideals of Big Tech or engineering efficiency. You don't build a city of 80,000 in the desert — or a global community of dreamers and doers — without bending a few bits and bytes. Or stepping on a few tech-bro toes.Bloom shares stories from his colorful career at the intersection of art and technology, from working with Al Gore at Current Media to pioneering the “always two years away” world of virtual reality. And he does his best to reassure Stuart that AI will not be taking his job… yet.

Cal Abel, CTO of Signal Power and Light, discusses the engineering behind the sodium-cooled fast reactor Natrium, and argues for their centrality in the U.S. coal to nuclear transition, as their high temperatures could be used for the dual production of electricity and synthetic fuels from the gasification of coal.

As countries around the world grapple with dealing with the huge a mounts of waste they produce, and bid to create truly circular economies in this area, waste-to-energy plants have sprung up everywhere as a convenient tool to address the problem. As a bonus, they also produce renewable electricity. But traditional incineration plants have drawn bad press and opposition from local groups when they are built, with concerns over emissions from these facilities. So, advanced conversion technologies such as gasification that process the waste and are intended to produce lower emissions are touted as a crucial advance for the sector. David Palumbo, CEO of advanced gasification technology provider EQTEC, came on the podcast to give us an in-depth view on the proposals in this area and what his company are currently developing. Advanced gasification has also had a stop-start history due to technical difficulties and sometimes poor output, so there is much convincing to do for would-be investors and procurement authorities. Listen to the episode to discover David's response to these issues. Also on the show this week, inspiratia's Jon McNair and Dan Colombini - our newly appointed editor - chew over some of the latest news from the worlds of infrastructure and renewable energy.

In September of 2018, then-Governor Jerry Brown signed an ambitious executive order committing the State of California to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 and maintain net negative emissions thereafter. But is this a feasible goal?   Dr. Roger Aines is the Chief Scientist of the Energy Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and coauthor of the LLNL report Getting to Neutral: Options for Negative Carbon Emissions in California. On this episode of the Reversing Climate Change, Roger joins Ross and Christophe to discuss how the California study came about and walk us through the three carbon removal strategies outlined in the report—natural solutions, waste biomass and direct air capture.   Roger explains the technology involved in turning biomass into hydrogen and offers insight into the relative safety of carbon capture and storage or CCS. Listen in to understand why Roger sees oil and gas evolving into the direct air capture industry and learn how California is leading the charge toward negative emissions.   Key Takeaways   [2:46] Roger’s work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Part of Department of Energy science infrastructure Address questions of moment + long-term issues like climate change   [4:50] The origin of the LLNL report Getting to Neutral  California’s ambition to be carbon neutral by 2045 yet to be studied ClimateWorks funded report to find out if goal feasible   [8:03] The carbon removal strategies outlined in the report Natural solutions (e.g.: trees, store in soil) Waste biomass Direct air capture   [11:02] How we can turn biomass into hydrogen Gasification uses widely available technology from 1920’s Put biomass in gasifier, then catch CO2 to store underground   [15:08] The issues around direct air capture Expensive (cost $300/ton at present) Renewable energy to power takes enormous amount of land   [18:29] Roger’s insight on the safety of carbon capture and storage (CCS) Inject CO2 3K feet underground, fill in spaces in sandstone No leakage from 20-year test done by DOE Must choose right rocks and avoid major fault lines Strict federal and state regulations to control process   [25:20] Industrial carbon management vs. negative emissions Never get rid of all industrial emissions Natural solutions limited to 25M tons stored/year Need to put a lot underground (from atmosphere AND industry)   [31:15] The ‘coming soon’ technology Roger is most excited about Mineral carbonation (rocks react with CO2 to form limestone) Industrial demos in progress in Canada   [35:55] How much the report’s plan would cost California residents Most affordable path = $8B/year (0.3% of GDP) Less than spend on trash collection, average of $60/ton   [39:38] How oil and gas might evolve into the direct air capture industry Companies like Shell want to make products out of CO2 vs. oil Will need constant source, understand tech and have capital   [42:12] Why the LLNL report took a local approach Assume people want jobs and money to stay in state Mistake to assume global optimum will be reached   Connect with Ross & Christophe   Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori on Patreon Nori Newsletter Email podcast@nori.com  Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   LLNL Report: Getting to Neutral Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Roger on Twitter Center for Sustainable Energy Research Coordination Network on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage ClimateWorks Foundation David Roberts on RCC S2EP03 Dr. Greg Dipple on RCC EP009 Project Vesta on CRN EP018 Rhodium Group Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments

This episode is sponsored by Ecotricity - New Zealand’s only carboNZero certified electricity retailer. Join Ecotricity now! This episode is about how to ditch landfills. Landfills don’t work. We all hate them. We don’t want them in our backyards. They are getting further away from our cities – Dome Valley (between Warkworth and Wellsford). They produce tonnes of methane and an eternal leachate problem which you don’t want in waterways. So burning all this waste to generate energy is a great idea, right?! Waveney’s been researching expert opinion and data from both sides and presents a far more complex picture of waste to energy than you may know. This includes four different kinds of W2E: Incineration, Gasification, Pyrolysis and Anaerobic digestion (aka bio-digestion). W2E is an attractive alternative to landfill: It creates energy; It could reduce the need for landfills; It reduces the volume of rubbish; It creates new jobs when plants are opened and it doesn’t mean that all the rubbish has to be gobbled, we can still recycle or repurpose useful items. HOWEVER, that leads us to the five big issues with W2E. It isn’t a very efficient way to make energy. The toxic ash and filters need to go somewhere (often landfills). It doesn’t vanish waste, it creates a very dangerous concentrated end product. It’s the lowest waste jobs creator (1 job for 10,000 tonnes vs landfill’s 6 jobs, recycling’s 36 jobs and waste recovery’s 200-300 jobs). It’s very expensive, which creates a dependency of waste generation long-term, making it incompatible with zero waste goals. Sign the petition against incineration for Aotearoa.

Declining reserves and the associated increasing cost of oil and gas has prompted industry to look at alternative sources of energy. Alberta contains a great amount of coal resources at shallow depths that facilitate economical power generation; however, there are huge coal resources at depth that are currently not economic to mine. This represents a large untapped potential energy source for the province.
