A study by a team from North Carolina State University, with colleagues from the Urban Air Initiative and 3DATX Corporation, has shown that non-FFVs (flexible-fuel vehicles) can adapt to a mid-level ethanol blend—specifically E27. The study was commissioned by the Urban Air Initiative.

This is accomplished by separately pumping steam and the feedstock oil at high temperature and pressures into a Colgate-Emery reactor. This reaction step results in a saturated, straight chained hydrocarbon with one less carbon than the reacted FFA (i.e. a C 18 free fatty acid yields a C 17 hydrocarbon).

Metabolix in collaboration with North Carolina State University. Develop a non-genetically modified, non-food feedstock, Camelina sativa , with significantly increased seed yield and oil content to maximize oil yields per acre, thereby enabling the widespread use of a currently underutilized non-food feedstock.

Dr. Maruyama is a materials scientist, and his research focuses on carbon nanotubes and making research go faster. One, we just did a workshop at the University of— sorry, North Carolina State University about that very problem, right? But for our original ARES system, it worked on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes.
