Air France KLM signs 210M gallon SAF offtake agreement with DG Fuels

Green Car Congress

DG Fuels (DGF), a provider of cellulosic drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), signed a multi-year SAF offtake agreement with Air France KLM for up to 60,408 metric tons (21 million gallons) per year from DGF’s initial plant to be located in Louisiana. DGF’s cellulosic feedstock does not impair food supply and is essentially water neutral.

Uhde’s PRENFLO Gasification Process to be Part of 113M BioTfueL BTL Project in France

Green Car Congress

The process will include the drying and crushing of the biomass, torrefaction, gasification, purification of the synthesis gas and its ultimate conversion to second generation biofuels using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Carbon conversion is greater than 99%, and typical composition of the raw syngas is more than 85 vol.%

The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

It was in service from 1962 to 1972, but its pressurized light-water reactor (LWR) proved too complex and expensive for the ship to operate profitably. Another plus for nuclear-propelled ships is easy access to an endless supply of cooling water. The first was the American NS Savannah , built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9
