Considering that levulinic acid is available with more than 80% conversion from raw biomass, a field-to-tank yield of drop-in, cellulosic gasoline of more than 60% is possible, the researchers claimed. It’s a cheap and practical starting point that can be produced from raw biomass with high yield, Mascal said.

Researchers at Lund University (Sweden) have developed an optimized two-phase enzymatic (lipase) system for the conversion of plant oils to biodiesel. The results, the authors suggested in their paper, constitute a good starting point for efficient and cheap biodiesel production.

In particular, one of the projects will explore the idea of using cheap and widely available magnesium oxide-based mineral silicates to trap carbon dioxide from industry flue gases via a process known as dry mineral carbonation. The by-products of this can be used as construction or landfill materials.

In this manner, full performance and even ultra-performance renewable fuels can be synthesized from low-value and abundant waste materials. In addition, the use of “crude” turpentine was investigated to evaluate the ability of these catalysts to produce terpene dimers in high yield while using cheap, unpurified feedstocks.

Most of the methods currently under development involve converting biomass or waste, while there are also approaches to directly produce liquid transportation fuels from sunlight and carbon dioxide, typically using photosynthesis.

Two chemists at Brown University have streamlined the conversion of waste vegetable oil (WVO) into biodiesel, eliminating the need for corrosive chemicals to perform the reactions. Current techniques for the conversion of waste vegetable oil to biodiesel take time, are costly and are inefficient.

The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term. The Conversation [link] accessed 4/6/2020. So why haven’t FCEV becoming as prolific as other electric cars?

Illustration of non-catalytic biodiesel conversion Credit: ACS, Kwon et al. conversion efficiency to FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) within 1 minute in a temperature range of 350–500 °C. Hence, in order to reduce the cost of biodiesel production, using cheaper feedstocks such as waste oil or low-quality oil has been proposed.

Biofuel projects are going to have trouble getting financing from Wall Street this year because all of them have questions about the long term pricing of petroleum; most of them have concerns about the pricing stability of their feedstocks; and many of the cellulosic projects have concerns about the conversion technologies.

Public transportation can waste time unless you live in a city with a great system, and even then it can be a messy, overpacked ordeal. This item is sure to start up a conversation. It isn’t cheap, but it could be a much better way to get to work than the metro and it’s way cheaper than using Uber over the course of the year.

I also think it will be cheap, which is why I think someone will buy the group. Its a Lotus.

The discovery also improves on current recycling methods that result in cheap, low-quality plastic products. But there will always be instances where plastics are difficult to replace, so we really want to see what we can do to find value in the waste. Too, the catalytic method produced far less waste in the process.

Every scrap of waste food, garden trimmings and even sewage would be used to ferment gas. E.ON’s Mr. Ewert says one winning technology could be biogas, which can be fermented from farm and domestic waste or even sewage, and then be piped through existing gas networks.

Millions will plug-in their electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCV) at night when electricity is cheap, then plug-in during the day when energy is expensive and sell those extra electrons at a profit. In the future, utilities will pay you to plug-in your vehicle. Carlos 12:43 AM walt the memecaster said.

To deal with this major special waste problem has to my knowledge never ever been brought to the attention of the readers of any paper around the world. Batteries are highly special toxic waste and cannot be dropped on the average dump site, so who is going to pay to get rid of this problem?
