The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a proposed rule to implement Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA).

Mosaic Materials, a chemical and engineering company, has made significant progress on a unique process that uses Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) to separate carbon dioxide from air or flue gas.

Canadian researchers have discovered a way to extract hydrogen from oil without releasing greenhouse gases. Hydrogen is used by some car manufacturers to power vehicles and is also burned to generate electricity.

The Georgia Institute of Technology has develop an alternative to thermally driven distillation routes. Prompted by the energy-intensive nature of chemical separation processes critical in chemical manufacturing, materials were modified with atomic-scale metal oxide networks, resulting in membranes that can perform chemical separations at a lower energy consumption levels and can withstand harsh solvent-rich chemical streams than traditionally seen.Metal-containing vapors are infused into the prefabricated membrane by application of vapor phase infiltration technology.

Capstone Turbine Corporation has secured an order to provide 1.2 megawatts (MW) of energy to power a triethylene glycol (TEG) dehydration facility in the Basra region of Iraq using two C600 Signature Series microturbines.

Dominion Energy has announced an initiative to reduce methane emissions from the company's natural gas infrastructure by 50%  over the next decade.

Range Resources announced the company's emission reduction goal in its first Corporate Sustainability Report. The report highlights its accomplishments over the past ten years reducing greenhouse gas emissions and set ambitious zero-emissions targets.There has been no timeline released on when the targets will be achieved.

Maestro Digital Mine has launched a digital IIoT solution, the Zephyr AQS. The compact, low cost environmental air quality monitoring station is designed for underground mines.The Zephyr AQ IIoT device connects directly to an industrial network without requiring expensive and complex programmable logic controllers and analog based instruments.

A new handheld analyzer features laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for speed, increased accuracy and greater mobility for petrochemical plants, fabricators, scrap recyclers and quality control departments seeking to measure low concentrations of carbon in metal, The Thermo Scientific Niton Apollo handheld LIBS analyzer puts advanced technology into the hands of end users, allowing them to more quickly and precisely test metals for carbon content in the field.
