Study finds gasification of palm oil industry waste could yield hydrogen at about $2.11/kg

Green Car Congress

A study by a team at the University Putra Malaysia concluded that the gasification of empty fruit bunch (EFB), a waste of the palm oil industry, could, if scaled up, produce hydrogen at a supply cost of $2.11/kg The US Department of Energy (DOE) 2015 cost target for hydrogen is $2.00-$3.00/kg kg EFB ($2.11/kg kg = $0.18/Nm

LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

In 2011, LanzaTech announced that it had demonstrated the continuous fermentation of CO 2 in the presence of hydrogen to acetic acid, using their modified microorganisms. The hydrogen serves as the energy source in this case. that conversion wouldn’t actually happen in a LanzaTech bioreactor. CO 2 to acetic acid fermentation.

UOP looking to biomass catalytic pyrolysis to expand volumes of renewable hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

The primary objective of conventional hydrotreating is to remove impurities present in petroleum feedstocks, such as sulfur and nitrogen, via the addition of hydrogen. Another area of refining cost is the hydrogen consumption, which is required for taking the oxygen out of the natural feedstocks. —Jim Rekoske. —Jim Rekoske.
