New catalytic process turns renewable and waste carbon into cleaner, high-performance diesel biofuel blendstock

Green Car Congress

With this research, we looked to make a new biofuel conversion process that is relevant and applicable to renewable and waste-to-energy technology. Huq, Davis R. Last fall, NREL and Co-Optima identified a promising new bioblendstock, 4-butoxyheptane, that utilizes the oxygen within biomass to create a higher-performance diesel fuel.

Report from the REFF-Wall Street; Themes in Renewable Energy Finance

Green Car Congress

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.
