CTV is developing proprietary technology and catalysts for the conversion of lignin into hydrocarbon components for transportation fuels. Chevron has filed applications for two patents on processes to convert lignin to a hydrocarbon feedstock via hydroprocessing; both applications were published on 3 September 2009.

CRI is presenting at the 4 th Conference on CO 2 as Feedstock for Fuels, Chemistry and Polymers , being held at the end of September in Essen, Germany. Methanol can be produced from a range of renewable sources and fossil-fuel based feed-stocks; in practice methanol is mainly produced in coal-rich China from coal.

The past decade was the first in two centuries with increasing CO2 emissions intensities, owing to a “coal revival”, in contrast with the rapid conversion to natural gas in the 1990s. At present, there are only a few evident niches in which cost-insensitive end-users might be persuaded to pay for environmental public goods.

Change in cumulative energy-related CO 2 emissions by sector and fuel in the IEA GAS Scenario relative to the New Policies Scenario, 2009-2035. In the US, a combination of demand reduction and displacement of coal-fired power by gas-fired generation is the lowest cost way to reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 50%. Source: IEA.

So when we bring the V to a product, recycled oil, we start to change the conversation. In the case of the global warming impact, however, direct burning was shown to be more beneficial when coal is displaced. Rapid deactivation of the hydrotreating catalyst occurs when these poisons are present. We have their attention.
