DOE to award up to $15M for Advancements In Algal Biomass Yield, Phase 2

Green Car Congress

The average yield target of 3,700 gal/acre/yr of intermediate must be achieved under conditions that result in favorable life-cycle greenhouse gas reductions and techno-economic analyses. This FOA is directed at the interim yield between the two target yields and target years. Micro and macro‐alga, as well as cyanobacteria are allowed.

California ARB releases proposed strategy to reduce impact of short-lived climate pollutants

Green Car Congress

Together, SLCPs represent about 12% of California’s total annual greenhouse gas emissions inventory. This would cut greenhouse gas emissions by 94 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO 2 e) annually under the approach that measures the impact of these super pollutants over a 20-year span. Black Carbon. Next Steps.
