Raven SR waste-to-hydrogen plant in California to be powered by INNIO Jenbacher’s Ready-for-H2 engines

Green Car Congress

Raven SR plans to use INNIO’s Jenbacher engines [60 Hz] with a “Ready for H2” option to produce renewable energy. At the site, landfill gas (LFG) will be the primary fuel to provide power for the non-combustion process that converts waste to hydrogen. The type 4 engines are already available today to run on 100% hydrogen.

Gevo develops process to convert isobutanol or fusel oils into renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

has developed proprietary, breakthrough processes that convert either low-carbon isobutanol or low-value fusel oils—a mixture of alcohols that are byproducts from fermentation processes such as alcohol production—into renewable diesel. Gevo expects this to open yet another door for Gevo products.

UCLA researchers engineer organisms to convert proteins to biofuels; recycling nitrogen back into growth

Green Car Congress

This study clearly showed how to engineer microbial cells to control their cellular nitrogen metabolism. In addition, protein does not have the recalcitrance problems of lignocellulose or the de-watering problem of algal lipids. To utilize protein as a carbon source, complex cellular regulation in nitrogen metabolism had to be rewired.

Researchers split water by altering photosynthetic machinery in plants; semi-artificial photosynthesis

Green Car Congress

They used natural sunlight to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using a mixture of biological components and manmade technologies. A new paper, published in Nature Energy , outlines how the researchers at the Reisner Laboratory in Cambridge developed their platform to achieve unassisted solar-driven water-splitting.

Siemens introduces new Organic Rankine module for waste heat recovery

Green Car Congress

Siemens recently introduced an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) module for industrial plants or power stations for the conversion of waste heat to electricity. The new Siemens Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) module. The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) module is derived from the Rankine Cycle, a closed loop used in steam-driven heat engines.
