Maverick Synfuels introduces affordable small-scale methane gas-to-liquid modular methanol plants

Green Car Congress

The Maverick Oasis factory-built Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) methanol plants are modular, and can be rapidly deployed onsite to produce thousands of gallons per day of methanol from natural gas or methane-rich waste gas. In some markets, methanol can be blended with gasoline (M15, M85) or used directly as M100.

In addition, around half the vehicles that will be on the road in 2030 have already been sold—most with gasoline or diesel engines. First, apply electricity generated from renewable sources to obtain hydrogen from water. to make synthetic gasoline, diesel, gas, or kerosene. Then add carbon. Finally, combine CO?

MIT researchers advancing development of supercritical water upgrading of heavy crude; lower cost, energy use and CO2

Green Car Congress

Findings by MIT researchers could help advance the commercialization of supercritical water technology for the desulfurization and upgrading of high-sulfur crude oil into high-value, cleaner fuels such as gasoline without using hydrogen—a major change in refining technology that would reduce costs, energy use, and CO 2 emissions.

DOE BETO releases new strategic plan; biofuels to constitute 25% of US transportation fuels by 2040

Green Car Congress

Near-term: By 2017, verify at pilot scale at least one technology pathway for hydrocarbon biofuel production, demonstrating a mature modeled price of $3/gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) with GHG emissions reduction of 50% or more. By 2040, through R&D, support replacing 7% of petrochemicals with bioproducts. Mobilizing US biomass resources.

Sandia Labs/GM Biofuels Systems Study Concludes Large-Scale Production of Advanced Biofuels is Achievable and Sustainable

Green Car Congress

Ninety billion gallons of ethanol (the energy equivalent of approximately 60 billion gallons of gasoline—about one-third of projected consumption by 2030) per year by 2030 was chosen as the book-end target to understand the requirements of an aggressive biofuels deployment schedule. The energy in cellulosic ethanol is about 3.8
