DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

An open-access paper on their results is published in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. Meanwhile, wet waste feedstocks, such as animal manure and fats, oils, and greases (FOG), represent another important category of resources that could be utilized to produce MCCI bioblendstocks due to its abundant availability.

Greenergy opts for Haldor Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology to produce low-carbon fuels from waste tires

Green Car Congress

Greenergy will invest in Front End Engineering Design (FEED) of a project to produce low-carbon transportation fuels from waste tires. In the first phase, the planned facility will process up to 300 tons of shredded tires each day to produce low-carbon, low-sulfur drop-in fuels that can be blended into diesel and gasoline.

Bentley installs biofuel tank at Crewe factory after successful biogasoline performance trial at Goodwood

Green Car Congress

The 750PS, W12-engined Batur fueled with the second-gen biofuel completed a 55.0 Enough straw, that when converted to biofuel, would power the Bentayga for 1100 miles or provide fuel for all of the Bentleys for the weekend at Goodwood. No engine modifications are necessary, even for the oldest surviving Bentley, the 1920 EXP2.
