EIA: China’s use of methanol in liquid fuels has grown rapidly since 2000; >500K bpd in 2016

Green Car Congress

China is the global leader in methanol use and has recently expanded its methanol production capacity. The estimates developed in the study have now been incorporated into EIA’s historical data and forecasts of petroleum and other liquids consumption in China. Annual methanol consumption in China, 2000-16. Background.

New systems biology model for wood formation can lead to progress in biofuel and green chemistry applications

Green Car Congress

Researchers in the US, China and Taiwan have developed a new systems biology model that mimics the process of wood formation, allowing scientists to predict the effects of switching on and off the 21 (at least) pathway genes involved in producing lignin, a primary component of wood. The model tracks 25 key wood traits.

Headwaters Inc and Axens Form Direct Coal Liquefaction Alliance

Green Car Congress

There are two basic approaches to converting coal to synthetic fuels: indirect liquefaction (ICL) (Fischer-Tropsch) and direct (Bergius). The indirect liquefaction pathway first gasifies the coal to produce a syngas, and then catalytically converts the syngas to linear hydrocarbons or chemicals. Axens DCL process. Source: Axens.
