On a planet aspiring to become carbon neutral, the once-stalwart coal power plant is an emerging anachronism. Department of Energy (DOE) released a report suggesting that, in theory, over 300 former and present coal power plants could be converted to nuclear. Conversion backers say the process has benefits for everybody involved.

Converting a corn ethanol plant to produce biobutanol requires changes to the fermentation step (mainly a new microorganism) and to alcohol recovery from the fermentation. Butanol is a four-carbon aliphatic alcohol (C 4 H 10 O). Fermentation to convert the sugars to iso-butanol using a proprietary microorganism. Source: Butamax.

Awardees must demonstrate a reduction of air emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NO x ), sulfur oxides (SO x ), particulate matter (PM), or carbon through an approved emissions testing scheme. Projects that will be funded under the RFP include engine conversion/retrofits; the use of alternative fuels; or the use of alternative technologies.
