A study by a team at the University Putra Malaysia concluded that the gasification of empty fruit bunch (EFB), a waste of the palm oil industry, could, if scaled up, produce hydrogen at a supply cost of $2.11/kg The US Department of Energy (DOE) 2015 cost target for hydrogen is $2.00-$3.00/kg The feedstock particle size of 0.3–0.5

(SSSKK) plan to begin trials on 1 July of a diesel-electric hybrid transit bus fueled by a mixture of Fischer-Tropsch diesel (FTD)—specifically, Shell’s gas-to-liquids (GTL) fuel—and hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO), a type of renewable diesel offering similar characteristics to FTD.

By assuming the feedstock used was 1% of the total palm shell available in Malaysia, i.e., 2,587 kg h -1 bio-oil, the simulation predicted the production of 226 kg h -1 benzene, 236 kg h -1 cyclohexane and 7 kg h -1 cyclohexene, with the yield of 34, 81 and 3% respectively. The preliminary economic potential was calculated to be positive.

In 2011, LanzaTech announced that it had demonstrated the continuous fermentation of CO 2 in the presence of hydrogen to acetic acid, using their modified microorganisms. The hydrogen serves as the energy source in this case. CO 2 to acetic acid fermentation. Source: LanzaTech. Click to enlarge. Carbon Dioxide as a Feedstock.
