L’Oreal achieves carbon-neutrality across US operations

Renewable Energy World

French-headquartered beauty products company L’Oreal has reached carbon neutrality for scopes 1 and 2 emissions across its facilities in the US. These projects capture and convert methane produced from the natural decomposition of organic materials into renewable natural gas. L’Oréal uses onsite gas for space and water heating.

Selective adsorption

Envirotec Magazine

The crystal structure of the K-GIS zeolite adsorbent: The size of cavities in the crystal is slightly larger than the CO2 molecule, permitting CO2 to enter the crystal and be adsorbed while larger molecules such as methane are excluded. Biogas from sewage sludge, garbage, and similar sources consists of approximately 60% methane and 40% CO2.

Could trash-to-energy technology feed hydrogen demand?

GreenBiz

Early pioneers of these hydrogen-from-waste technologies such as Ways2H, SGH2 Energy (SGH2) and Standard Hydrogen say not only are they making carbon-free, energy-rich fuel, their approaches also will divert mountains of trash from landfills and waterways, cutting greenhouse gas emissions. . There are other ways to make hydrogen.
