Lignin is a complex chemical compound (a cross-linked amorphous phenolic polymer) and is the biomass component with highest energy content (9,000 - 11,000 Btu/lb compared to 7,300 - 7,500 for cellulose, Johnson 2002). Chevron says tests have shown that this produced water does not inhibit the lignin conversion.

Avantium, which spun off from Shell in 2000 to develop furan-based biofuels and biomaterials, has begun construction of a pilot plant at the Chemelot site (Geleen, the Netherlands) to convert carbohydrates into furanic building blocks—which the company calls “YXY”—for making renewable materials and fuels.

Although the presence of microplastics in the environment is raising concerns, the amount of microplastics in air and water is small compared to another polymer that pollutes air and water: micro rubber. Empa researchers have now calculated that over the last 30 years, from 1988 to 2018, 219?

After that, a pre-industrial demonstration plant in the megawatt range, i.e. with a production capacity of 1500 to 2000 liters per day, will be designed. In the second step, the electrolytic splitting of carbon dioxide and water vapor takes place simultaneously. That plant may theoretically reach efficiencies of about 60%—i.e.,

This area currently has three areas of focus: Intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells; Polymer electrolyte fuel cells; and. One way is to generate hydrogen by splitting water and storing the hydrogen, as in the power-to-gas schemes under examination (e.g., Reversible fuel-electrolysis cells. earlier post ). —Harry Tuller.

The A4 of model year 2000 with a 1.8 Other features include a new, lighter turbocharger/cylinder head assembly; the use of lightweight polymers for the oil pan, and use of aluminum for various screws and fasteners. The exhaust manifold is water-cooled, resulting in the elimination of the use of full load enrichment—i.e.,
