It is interesting to see that they were going to de-carbonise the methane, which is after all just carbon and hydrogen, apparently before use. Pity their publicist isn't a chemist, or even studied chemistry to GCSE level. |
It's called pre-combustion carbon capture - much more efficient than the post-combustion carbon capture that the government decided, against all the advice, to force research in the UK to chase, a couple of years before withdrawing the money it put up to fund it.
It is, basically, removing the carbon from methane by partial oxidation so that you end up with CO2 and hydrogen. There's a lot less contaminants than after you burn it, so you can capture the CO2 more easily, and you burn the hydrogen, which produces water out of your exhaust.
So perhaps he is a chemist, after all. |
