China team develops pathway for producing renewable aviation-range hydrocarbons and aromatics from oleic acid without added H2

Green Car Congress

The conversion of oleic acid in the process was 100%, and the yield of heptadecane (C 17 H 36 , the main product) can reach 71% after 80 min at 350 °C. In the study, the team explored the effects of catalyst loading, reactant loading, and reaction temperature on the conversion of oleic acid and the yields of hydrocarbons and aromatics.

New renewable hydrocarbon fuel pathway uses platform molecule acetoin produced by biomass fermentation

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Nanjing Tech University in China have developed a new pathway for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels from lignocellulose. The Nanjing Tech team had earlier used metabolic engineering to acetone with the C 4 compound acetoin (3-hydroxy-2-butanone) during ABE fermentation with good yield. —Zhu et al.

Worldwide Campaign for Neurorights Notches Its First Win

Cars That Think

Indeed, 2022 may be the year that neurorights becomes a hot topic, bringing the young neurotech industry and the human rights community into uncomfortable conversations. Yuste, a professor of biology at Columbia University who studies neural circuitry, has been promoting the idea of neurorights for nearly a decade now. Spain’s new.
