USDA closes on $105M loan guarantee to Fulcrum for biorefinery converting municipal waste to renewable jet fuel; first USDA loan for biojet

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 4, 2014

Fulcrum will gasify 147,000 tons of municipal solid waste to produce synthesis gas which it then will catalytically convert to synthetic paraffinic kerosene/jet fuel via a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process. A venturi scrubber captures and removes any entrained particulate, and the syngas is further cooled in a packed gas cooler scrubber.

Global Bioenergies to collaborate with Audi on development of drop-in bio-isooctane

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 21, 2014

Global Bioenergies has engineered an initial series of bacterial strains that can produce light olefins via the fermentation of sugars. In other words, can high-octane fuels enable overall energy use and greenhouse gas reductions in the future, or is a better overall outcome achieved through making the best of today’s fuels?

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021

If you want to heat up a space that is cold, there are a number of options, from burning a fuel to directly converting electricity into heat (i.e. cyclopentane), a potent greenhouse gas (e.g. To convert between the two, the ratio is 1 W = 3.412 BTU / hr. CFCs, or chlorofluorocarbons), or toxic (e.g.
