BuG ReMeDEE project seeks to use extremophile bacteria to convert methane to biofuels, biopolymers and electricity

Green Car Congress

Establish a consortium for sustained collaborations among university partners in South Dakota, Montana, and Oklahoma in the field of methane regulation in extreme environments. This, the deepest mine in North America, began filling with water following its closure in 2002. As the water receded, Rajesh Sani, Ph.D.,

DOE to award up to $13M to four advanced biofuels projects

Green Car Congress

The selected research projects will help maximize the amount of renewable carbon and hydrogen that can be converted to fuels from biomass and improve the separation processes in bio-oil production to remove non-fuel components—further lowering production costs.

G2X Energy and EMRE sign methanol to gasoline technology license and license option agreements; plans for $1.3B natural gas to gasoline plant

Green Car Congress

The MTG process first dehydrates methanol to dimethylether (DME); an equilibrium mixture of methanol, DME and water is then converted to light olefins (C 2 -C 4 ). G2X Energy will use natural gas to produce methanol, then convert methanol to final gasoline for 90% of its production. gasoline range. Source: EMRE.

Study Finds Biodiesel Easily Susceptible to Anaerobic Biodegradation, With Resulting Accelerated Biocorrosion of Metal

Green Car Congress

A study by researchers from the University of Oklahoma and the US Naval Research Laboratory has found that biodiesel is easily susceptible to biological degradation by anaerobic bacteria. The organisms hydrolyze biodiesel and convert it to a variety of fatty acid intermediates, which are also metabolized. Credit: ACS, Aktas et al.

Effect of cloud-scattered sunlight on earths energy balance depends on wavelength of light

Green Car Congress

But clouds are white—that’s because the large water droplets within them scatter light of all colors almost equally in the visible spectrum, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes the colors of the rainbow. In the Oklahoma summer, the scattered-light effect measured by the researchers could be quite large.
