Carbon storage presentation wins award
Dr Tony Clemens
Dr Tony Clemens, Research Manager at CRL Energy, won the top award for his presentation at the 23rd International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, beating over 300 other papers at the world’s premier event for work on new and innovative coal-based technologies.
Tony’s paper described work using the synchrotron at Argonne National Laboratories (Chicago) to directly observe interactions occurring when CO2 is stored in deep geological formations.

Hydrogen is one attractive option in the search for clean, secure energy, especially for transport. Imagine running a car which emits only water vapour – no lung irritants, no carcinogens, no toxic gases.
Pure hydrogen stream on track
Scientists at CRL Energy are well on their way to producing high purity hydrogen from New Zealand lignite.
Managing New Zealand's Energy Under Stormy Skies
Workshop: Monday, 20 November, 1.30–5pm
Venue: University of Canterbury, Christchurch
Phenomena such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle and the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) have significant effects on New Zealand rainfall, temperature, wind, and solar radiation, as will human-induced climate change.
