Twelve and Alaska Airlines to collaborate with Microsoft to advance sustainable aviation fuel derived from recaptured CO2 and renewable energy

Green Car Congress

Through the first-of-its-kind agreement, Twelve, Alaska, and Microsoft will work to advance production and use of Twelve’s E-Jet, a low-carbon jet fuel produced by a power-to-liquids process leveraging the company’s carbon transformation technology. Earlier post.). SAF is a core part of Alaska’s five-part pathway to net zero by 2040.

Researchers Develop Novel High-Performance Polymer Tin Sulfur Lithium Ion Battery

Green Car Congress

Sketch of the Sn/C/CGPE/ Li 2 S/C polymer battery. The battery is formed by a Sn/C composite anode, a PEO-based gel polymer electrolyte, and a Li 2 S/C cathode. 8Li 2 S discharge process, we propose to fabricate the battery in the “discharged” state by using a carbon lithium sulfide composite as the cathode.

LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

In CO fermentation, explained LanzaTech Communications Director Freya Burton, CO can serve as the carbon and the energy source whereas CO 2 can serve only as the carbon source. Accordingly, LanzaTech has begun look at the industrial conversion of acetic acid/acetate to lipids, and has demonstrated this. Earlier post.).

Startup New Oil Resources commercializing hydrothermal process for conversion of biomass to gasoline-range hydrocarbons

Green Car Congress

Algae can be processed without dewatering and all the carbon is converted to fuels, not just the fatty oils. We use hot water to depolymerize the cellulose, lignins, lipids and other polymers contained in the biomass. The difference between all these companies is what you do next. James Catallo, Todd F. Shupe, Jay L. 2009.07.017.
