Global Bioenergies, founded in 2008, has developed a synthetic isobutene pathway that, when implanted in a micro-organism, enables the organism to convert sugars (e.g., using just water, H 2 , CO 2 and sunlight. Earlier post.). from starch and biomass) via fermentation into gaseous isobutene via a several-stage enzymatic process.

In the second half of 2008, on the heels of its first development of a process for 1,4-Butanediol (BDO), Genomatica targeted MEK and began development of the first organism known to bio-manufacture MEK from sugar in the laboratory. Genomatica will offer a licensing model to allow other manufacturers to directly produce MEK from the process.

The most immediate, effective and low-cost way to reduce soot emissions is to put particle traps on vehicles, diesel trucks, buses, and construction equipment. Warming of the air by any chemical, including soot, enhances natural surface emissions of water vapor [e.g., 2008] and methane [Schutz et al., Dessler et al.,

An major step along the way was the release of the “FCHV-adv” in 2008 ( earlier post ), which delivered major improvements in efficiency, driving range (more than double its predecssor), durability, and cold start capability, compared to its predecessor. Second, the air inlet is humidified through back diffusion from water vapor in the anode.

Then came the rapid ascent of production in China and with it a flood of low-cost magnesium. Producers in Canada had conceded defeat by 2008 and the US industry was reduced to just one player that would probably not still be around were it not for punitive anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of Chinese magnesium.
