Raven SR waste-to-hydrogen plant in California to be powered by INNIO Jenbacher’s Ready-for-H2 engines

Green Car Congress

The energy system will power and heat Raven SR’s S-Series hydrogen production facility at a sanitary landfill in Richmond, California. At the site, landfill gas (LFG) will be the primary fuel to provide power for the non-combustion process that converts waste to hydrogen. Earlier post.). Olaf Berlien, President and CEO of INNIO.

Researchers develop four-step catalytic process to produce petroleum refinery feedstocks from biomass sugars

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers led by James Dumesic and George Huber, both now at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have demonstrated how C 5 sugars derived from hemicellulose can be converted into a high-quality petroleum refinery feedstock via a four-step catalytic process. per gallon in a large integrated biorefinery. hydrocycloaddition).

Dynamotive Produces Renewable Gasoline and Diesel from Biomass in Three-Stage Process: Pyrolysis, Hydroreforming, Hydrotreating

Green Car Congress

The HHV of the original biooil is ~16 MJ/kg while that of hydrogen is ~121 MJ/kg. Since UBA still contains ~10% oxygen it is not a pure hydrocarbon and needs further treatment to convert it to motor fuel grade products. Among the technologies commercially available are FCC (catalytic cracking) and hydrotreatment/hydrocracking.
