A team led by researchers at the University of Cordoba (Spain) have used a CaO alkaline heterogeneous catalyst to produce what they call a “second-generation biodiesel” blend composed of 2:1 molar mixture of conventional fatty acid methyl esters (FAME, or regular biodiesel) and monoglyceride (MG).

NextChem’s focus is on deploying solutions in carbon footprint reduction, in hydrogen production—green, blue and ‘circular’ (obtained by waste conversion), purification and storage, in plastics recycling, in the biofuels and in biochemicals.

A team at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) has designed a new simple, energy-efficient process (that also does not require any organic solvents) for the production of renewable diesel from biomass waste. The first step is the conversion of biomass into furfural—an established industrial process.

Even in today’s modern electric vehicles, a lot of energy is wasted on heating or cooling, in turn limiting the already relatively short range by further draining the battery capacity. The aim of the €6.7-million million (US$7.5-million) The aim of the €6.7-million million (US$7.5-million)

Researchers in Spain have obtained high-quality transportation fuels (gasoline with RON >80 and diesel with cetane number >70) from oil obtained by the thermal cracking of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) using a bifunctional catalyst comprising Ni (7 wt %) deposited on a hierarchical Beta zeolite (Ni/h-Beta). —Escola et al.

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.%
