Specifically, the team will explore recent advances in scalable thermochemical conversion technologies, which enable the production of advanced liquid biofuel and co-products on-site. It requires no cultivation, circumvents food-versus-fuel concerns and likely has a highly favorable carbon balance.

On a planet aspiring to become carbon neutral, the once-stalwart coal power plant is an emerging anachronism. Such a conversion has never been done, but the report is another sign that the idea is gaining momentum—if with the slow steps of a baby needing decades to learn to walk. “A coal plants are planned to shutter by 2035.

Typically the steam cracking of ethane has a conversion rate of 70%, with ethylene yields of about 50%. Estimates put the product cost contribution of steam cracking at 60% and the manufacturing carbon footprint at two-thirds of the total. Comparison of process energies and carbon footprint in NDP and steam cracking. (a)
