Researchers demonstrate sustainable integrated process for wastewater algae to biocrude via hydrothermal liquefaction

Green Car Congress

Traditional conversion technologies of algal biomass to biofuels have mainly included lipid extraction or pyrolysis for biodiesel, hydrotreated renewable diesel, or bio-oil production. A wet whole cell conversion pathway, hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), has gained popularity in the past few years. The yield of biocrude was 44.5 ± 4.7%

IH2 technology licensed for demonstration plant to convert woody biomass into drop-in hydrocarbon transportation fuels

Green Car Congress

IH 2 technology is a continuous catalytic thermochemical process which converts a broad range of forestry/agricultural residues and municipal wastes directly into renewable hydrocarbon transportation fuels and/or blend stocks. The IH 2 technology is an efficient conversion route for lignocellulosic biomass. Earlier post.).

Gallium Nitride and Silicon Carbide Fight for Green Tech Domination

Cars That Think

Virtually everywhere that alternating current must be transformed to direct current or vice versa, there will be fewer wasted watts. This conversion happens in your phone’s or laptop’s wall charger, in the much larger chargers and inverters that power electric vehicles, and elsewhere. To begin with: Power conversion is everywhere.

Plug-In Hybrids (or Plugin Hybrids)

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Its like having a second fuel tank that you always use first -- only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1/gallon. In some areas where wind and hydropower is wasted at night, the rate can be as low as 2-3 cents per kWh. You dont have to plug it in. Thats 20-25 cents a gallon.

Solar Smackdown in Torrance – Installer Sues City on Behalf of the Sun

Creative Greenius

Just two people live in its 3000+ energy-wasting square feet. It’s just this mind-blowing waste of time. When I got back from Japan in 2000 I didn’t want to start a computer business. In 2000 there couldn’t have been too many old timers in the solar industry. Oh how it dwarfs the normal sized other homes all around it.
