bp begins producing SAF by co-processing used cooking oil at Lingen refinery

Green Car Congress

This is the first industrial production facility in Germany to use this process for SAF production based on biomass waste and residues. Fats, Oils and Greases (FOG) co-processing is one of nine ASTM-approved conversion processes for SAF production. Earlier post.).

Carbon2Chem project completes first phase, receives €75M from German government toward phase 2

Green Car Congress

Involving 16 further partners, the project, which is funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), has over the past four years gathered fundamental insights into the conversion of steel mill process gases into chemical products. In addition to the CO 2 from these gases, Carbon2Chem also uses hydrogen.

Blue World Technologies starting production of methanol fuel cells

Green Car Congress

Blue World Technologies’ complete system includes a methanol reformer for fuel conversion, DC/DC for power conversion and fuel cell stack for power production. Methanol reforming is a relatively simple process that converts a mix of methanol and water into a hydrogen-rich gas.

Rice flash Joule heating process recycles plastic from end-of-life F-150 trucks into high-value graphene for new vehicles

Green Car Congress

The lab has since adapted the process to convert plastic waste into graphene and to extract precious metals from electronic waste. Ford sent us 10 pounds of mixed plastic waste from a vehicle shredding facility. Process schematic, workflow, and current discharge for FJH conversion of ELV-WP into FG. That’s with only 0.1%

New catalyst opens door to CO2 capture in coal-to-liquids process

Green Car Congress

World energy consumption projections expect coal to stay one of the world’s main energy sources in the coming decades, and a growing share of it will be used in CT—the conversion of coal to liquid fuels (CTL). The first stage in CTL is the conversion of coal to syngas—a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2 ).

Argonne researchers developing capacitive deionization separation process for battery recycling, biofuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have turned to a process called capacitive deionization that uses the electric charges of nickel, manganese and cobalt to select them out from the waste stream. At some point there is a conversion step followed by a separations process. 2018.02.024.

DOE awarding $12.9M to 6 pilot- and demonstration-scale projects for manufacturing biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower

Green Car Congress

DOE anticipates Phase 2 awards to be made in fiscal year 2018 to construct and operate the pilot- or demonstration-scale facility. The six Phase 1 projects will utilize thermochemical, biochemical, algal, and hybrid conversion technologies to generate the data required to enable future commercial-scale facilities. LanzaTech, Inc.
