Energy Parks Australia and Aquaflow Bionomic partner on biofuels from multi-biomass sources

Green Car Congress

Aquaflow chair Barrie Leay says wild micro algae, wood waste, bagasse and other green municipal waste can now all be converted to the next generation of biofuels, including bio-gasoline, bio-diesel and jet fuel. He says the unique chemical qualities of algae can be maximized within a mix of other biomass streams. Earlier post.).

Lux Research provides snapshot of oil majors’ investments in alternative fuels; BP leads investment frequency

Green Car Congress

Lux Research has investigated the trends of corporate financing of alternative fuels from oil majors, based on a non-exhaustive database of more than 1,000 deals and partnership engagements from 2000 through September, 2014. Shell shifted its shares in Codexis to Raizen, its ethanol JV with Cosan.

Researchers optimize production of high-quality transportation fuels from LDPE plastics

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Spain have obtained high-quality transportation fuels (gasoline with RON >80 and diesel with cetane number >70) from oil obtained by the thermal cracking of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) using a bifunctional catalyst comprising Ni (7 wt %) deposited on a hierarchical Beta zeolite (Ni/h-Beta). in the period 2000-2010.

Researchers demonstrate sustainable integrated process for wastewater algae to biocrude via hydrothermal liquefaction

Green Car Congress

Traditional conversion technologies of algal biomass to biofuels have mainly included lipid extraction or pyrolysis for biodiesel, hydrotreated renewable diesel, or bio-oil production. A wet whole cell conversion pathway, hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), has gained popularity in the past few years. The yield of biocrude was 44.5 ± 4.7%

IH2 technology licensed for demonstration plant to convert woody biomass into drop-in hydrocarbon transportation fuels

Green Car Congress

IH 2 technology is a continuous catalytic thermochemical process which converts a broad range of forestry/agricultural residues and municipal wastes directly into renewable hydrocarbon transportation fuels and/or blend stocks. IH 2 hydrocarbons produced from these feedstocks span the gasoline, jet and diesel range. Earlier post.).

UNEP Report Calls for More Sophisticated Approach to Developing Biofuels; Limitations of Current LCA Studies

Green Car Congress

As currently practiced in a country such as Brazil, it can lead to emissions reductions of between 70% and well over 100% when substituted for gasoline. World ethanol production for transport fuel tripled between 2000 and 2007 from 17 billion to more than 52 billion liters (13.7 World Transport Biofuel Production.

Plug-In Hybrids (or Plugin Hybrids)

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. The comparison keeps being raised, though studies are conclusive: The "well-to-wheel" emissions of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles.
