Meanwhile, wet waste feedstocks, such as animal manure and fats, oils, and greases (FOG), represent another important category of resources that could be utilized to produce MCCI bioblendstocks due to its abundant availability. An open-access paper on their results is published in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.

They were able to convert amorphous polypropylene and everyday bags and bottles effectively to lubricants with yields up to 80+%. The reaction network involves the sequential conversion of polymer into the oil with a gradual decrease of molecular weight until ?700–800 A paper on their work is published in the journal ACS Catalysis.

Rice University scientists and their colleagues at C-Crete Technologies have optimized a process to convert waste from rubber tires into graphene that can, in turn, be used to strengthen concrete. After useful oils are extracted from waste tires, this carbon residue has until now had near-zero value, Tour said. 2021.03.020.

It’s also often produced using corn and other crop feedstocks, but this approach is dependent on crops that otherwise could be used to grow food or waste feedstocks. Our partnership with Twelve provides us with the feedstock needed to create critical resources like ethanol without adding CO 2 to the atmosphere.
