Researchers propose CO2 recycling to improve Fischer-Tropsch GTL efficiency and reduce total CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

This results in a decrease in total CO 2 emissions to less than 5g CO 2 /MJ F-T product, compared to a range of 27.0 CO 2 /MJ F-T product for the conventional processes. T synthesis catalysts are beneficial for CO 2 conversion. In this case, about 30% CO is converted to CO 2 due to WGS reaction. —Zhang et al.

Study explores energy balance of Fischer-Tropsch diesel via autothermal reforming of pyrolysis oil from biomass residue; spreadsheet offered as tool

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology, BASF Catalyst and Golden BioMass Fuels Corporation report on their investigation of an energy balance, in broad outline, for the production of a high-quality synthetic diesel from residual crop biomass via a Fischer-Tropsch route in a paper published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels.

NREL report estimates gasoline produced from biomass could cost about the same as ethanol

Green Car Congress

per liter), respectively.the results from this preliminary evaluation indicate great potential for producing gasoline from biomass via thermochemical biomass conversion to syngas and the MTG process, and thus warrant a more detailed study. The biomass is chemically converted to a mixture of syngas components (CO, H 2 , CO 2 , CH 4 , etc.),

EPA Proposes New Regulations for Renewable Fuel Standard to Implement Requirements of EISA; GHG Reduction and Indirect Land Use Change Effects Included

Green Car Congress

The EPA GHG lifecycle analysis combines a suite of peer-reviewed process models and peer-reviewed economic models of the domestic and international agricultural sectors to determine direct and significant indirect emissions, respectively (GREET, FASOM, FAPRI, Winrock, GTAP, CENTURY, DAYCENT, ASPEN-based models, MOVES and NEMS).
