Annual methanol consumption in China, 2000-16. Methanol can also be converted directly to gasoline, and in China this conversion occurs much less often than the blending of methanol or its derivatives into gasoline. MTG units involve high capital costs and are only cost-competitive when oil prices are high. Click to enlarge.

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. carbon, 10.1% hydrogen, 4.4%

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University have developed a unique method that uses sponge-like mesoporous nanoparticles to harvest biofuel oils from algae without harming the algae. Phase three will focus on scale-up of the catalyst and pilot plant testing on conversion to biodiesel.

They recycled the catalyst over five runs without significant loss of activity (turnover number > 2000). Of course it won’t compete with oil today, at around $30 per barrel. We will run out of oil and gas, but the sun will be there for another five billion years. CO 2 capture from air and conversion to CH 3 OH.
