Carbon capture and direct air capture technologies must be deployed at scale in the U.S. to achieve net zero emissions by mid-century. These platforms are poised to bring the biggest value within hard-to-abate industries, as our partners at the Carbon Capture Coalition recently pointed out: “Carbon management technologies are not optional for decarbonizing the industrial sector.” Delivering viable, affordable carbon management solutions to the industries that need them most will require continued innovation and investment support. As we commercialize our own Calcite DAC platform, 8 Rivers is committed to working with industry partners, policymakers, and local leaders to emphasize the environmental and economic benefits of these technologies for industries and communities. ??More on advancing carbon management technologies from the Coalition: https://lnkd.in/e4ctGChh ??More on Calcite: https://lnkd.in/gXM-mGVj

In the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s latest 2024 Global Hydrogen Review, researchers highlighted the 8 Rivers-led Cormorant Clean Energy project in Port Arthur, Texas as an innovative energy project that will advance global net zero goals. Powered by our 8RH2 ultra-low-carbon hydrogen production technology and an ammonia loop, Cormorant is set to produce 880,000 metric tons of ultra-low-carbon ammonia to help decarbonize heavy industries across the globe.

At #COP29 in Azerbaijan last week, a coalition of hydrogen industry groups proposed several measures to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen to support the energy transition in the coming years, including: ??Setting clear incentives and targets to deploy hydrogen in key sectors like transportation, power, and more.? ?Speeding up permitting processes for hydrogen projects? ??Encouraging public-private partnerships and blended finance strategies to derisk projects and technologies 8 Rivers’ 8RH2 hydrogen production platform represents an affordable, scalable path to delivering ultra-low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia to the markets and geographies that need it most. As we commercialize 8RH2 this decade, we look forward to working with developers, investors, and partners to strengthen not only our technologies but the entire global hydrogen ecosystem.?

At Energy Intelligence Forum later this month in London, President and CDO Damian Beauchamp will participate in a panel on understanding and addressing challenges in the hydrogen market. Where does hydrogen best fit in the energy transition? How can we build demand alongside supply? Damian and other leaders will unpack these questions and more on the main stage in London! Attending the conference? Message Damian to set up a meeting. #EIForum2024?

To make progress in the nascent direct air capture industry, companies must design systems that:? ??Remove CO2 from the atmosphere ??Produce other revenue streams President and CDO Damian Beauchamp expanded on this belief in a recent conversation with Carbon Pulse.

Scenes from this year’s ADIPEC Exhibition and Conference so far! A sustainable, secure energy transition requires collaboration between energy producers, consumers, financiers, technology providers, policymakers and more. ADIPEC provides the perfect setting for these critical conversations. 8 Rivers is proud to be leading discussions on how carbon capture and utilization and ultra-low-carbon hydrogen production will usher in a new low-carbon era for global industries. If you’re in Abu Dhabi this week, message Will to set up a meeting! dmg events #adipec2024

8 Rivers President and CDO Damian Beauchamp joined Kym Bolado for the latest episode of the The Energy Mixx Radio Show! Give it a listen to hear more about: ??8 Rivers ‘blank sheet of paper’ approach to introducing inherent carbon capture technologies across hard-to-abate industries? ?Where solutions like the Allam-Fetvedt Cycle can support the need for low-cost, low-carbon power for fast-growing industries like computing and AI ??How we’re working with partners and investors to bring FOAK projects - including Cormorant Clean Energy and the SEDAC Hub - from ideation to deployment Thanks to Kym and her team for hosting Damian for this great discussion! https://lnkd.in/ek8cyPuv?

A recent study published by Harvard researchers highlighted the need for diverse hydrogen production solutions to help decarbonize notoriously challenging sectors like transportation and heavy industry. The study also pointed to one of the biggest barriers to widespread adoption of clean hydrogen technologies: cost. Is it possible to deliver hydrogen production solutions that prioritize both low carbon intensity AND low costs? We think so! 8RH2, our ultra-low-carbon hydrogen technology has been developed with affordability and scalability in mind. It harnesses pure oxygen and pressurized CO2 in a compact system to produce clean hydrogen at a lower cost and higher efficiency than conventional and emerging technologies.

?????Listen to the latest episode of the Climate Swings Podcast with Michael Gold to hear 8 Rivers’ VP of Public Affairs Jennifer Diggins, MPM discuss: ???Starting her career on Capitol Hill and how that helped her develop a passion for energy policy? ???How her work in the energy-intensive steel industry introduced opportunities to shape emerging clean energy policies? ??Why she considers community outreach on the impacts of emerging energy transition technologies the most important aspect of her role at 8 Rivers ??Her advice for women pursuing careers in the energy industry?

?????President and CDO Damian Beauchamp spoke with Latitude Media’s Lisa Martine Jenkins about the value strategic partners can bring to FOAK projects: “Companies must understand that if they want to be a big player in the energy transition space, they have to go beyond commitments and instead pursue direct investments and partnerships to help take innovative tech into the mainstream.” As Damian explains, providing direct investments, project management support, and access to broader supply chains and resources are just a few ways larger companies can play an active role in bringing innovative decarbonization technologies to market.
