Global Bioenergies (GBE), the company developing a process converting renewable resources into isobutene via fermentation ( earlier post ), and SkyNRG, world market leader in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), will collaborate to accelerate the commercialization of Global Bioenergies’ approach to process isobutene into a jet fuel blending component.

In 2014, Global Bioenergies signed a collaboration agreement with Audi on the development of bio-isooctane—a high-performance drop-in biofuel for gasoline engines—derived from bio-isobutene. Getting high-purity iso-octane is one of the main goals of our alliance with Audi. Earlier post.).

Global Bioenergies is partnering with Audi, earlier post.) The demo plant will be ramped up in the first half of 2017, with the goal of reaching performances close to commercial levels by the end of the year. Isobutene—one of the main petroleum derivatives—is a platform molecule.

GM will use the technology to collect low-level waste heat and use it in important ways, allowing their EVs to accelerate faster, charge faster, and go further. An automotive-grade heat pump absorbs and recoups waste heat in the vehicle system. But that’s a bit wasteful, and it’s not what electric cars are all about.

Joule has engineered photosynthetic biocatalysts that convert waste CO 2 into hydrocarbons through a patented, continuous process. Waste CO 2 is pumped in from an industrial emitter or pipeline; the CO 2 keeps the microorganisms in motion, maximizing their exposure to sunlight to drive photosynthesis. Earlier post.).

A deployment of this scale would generate up to 625 million gallons (~15 million barrels) of ethanol or 375 million gallons (~9 million barrels) of diesel per year, while consuming about 4 million tonnes of industrial waste CO 2 annually in the process. —Paul Snaith, President and CEO of Joule.

Virtually everywhere that alternating current must be transformed to direct current or vice versa, there will be fewer wasted watts. In the effort to mitigate climate change, eliminating waste in power consumption is the low-hanging fruit, and these semiconductors are the way we’ll harvest it. The Lucid Air has a 900-V system.)
