million to map critical-mineral resources in Alaska in partnership with the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys. The Earth MRI investments will enable airborne geophysical surveys of the poorly mapped Kuskokwim River region of western Alaska. Source: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys.
Using existing fish processing plants, kelp and fish waste can be turned into a diesel-like fuel to power generators or fishing boats in rural, coastal Alaska, according to a team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). —“ Kelp Energy Products and Marine Renewable Energy for Coastal Alaska Communities ”.
Illinois Basin (Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Tennessee): Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois aims to lead a project to evaluate the domestic occurrence of strategic elements in coal, coal-based resources and waste streams from coal use. DOE Funding: $1,499,987. DOE Funding: $1,497,376. DOE Funding: $1,500,000.
The Port of Seattle, Alaska Airlines and Boeing are partnering to move toward powering all flights by all airlines at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with sustainable aviation biofuel. Over the past five years, Alaska Airlines has become a leader in the pursuit of finding a sustainable supply of biofuels.
PTD partnered with MOA’s Solid Waste Services (SWS) to lease the bus. The four-month trial period will test how the bus performs in winter weather, how cold temperatures affect the battery life and whether it’s feasible to pursue an electric bus fleet in the future.
Neste, the world’s largest producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced from waste and residue raw materials, is supplying Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and JetBlue Airways with sustainable aviation fuel for flights from San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
The initial purchasers under the agreement with Aircraft Service International Group (ASIG), the entity that provides fueling services to many airlines that operate at LAX, are Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, UPS Airlines and US Airways. Earlier post.).
Gevo successfully adapted its patented technologies to convert cellulosic sugars derived from wood waste into renewable isobutanol, which was then further converted into Gevo’s Alcohol-to-Jet fuel (ATJ) fuel. Alaska Airlines is expected to fly the first commercial flight using this cellulosic jet fuel in the next few months.
Airline customers include Delta Air Lines, Jet Blue Airlines and oneworld Alliance members American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines and Qantas. The airline supply agreements provide for the delivery of SAF over a seven-to-ten year time period.
The project will divert approximately 550,000 metric tons of waste that otherwise would go to a landfill while producing jet fuel with lower emissions of greenhouse gases and local pollutants than petroleum-based fuels. Earlier post.). —Air Transport Association (ATA) president and CEO Nicholas E.
Powered by 100% renewable electricity, the Aemetis Carbon Zero plant design utilizes cellulosic hydrogen made from carbon negative waste wood. The blended sustainable aviation fuel is expected to be available for use by American starting in 2024.
announced a development in its fermentation technology that will allow it to produce isobutanol from cellulosic feedstocks such as wood waste; the isobutanol can then be converted into Gevo’s alcohol-to-jet fuel. Earlier post.). Gevo’s isobutanol and ATJ-SPK technologies are both planned to be licensed by NARA as part of this project.
The settlement, a consent decree lodged in US District Court for the Western District of Texas, includes provisions that resolves ongoing Clean Air Act violations at refineries in Kenai, Alaska; Martinez, California; Kapolei, Hawaii; Mandan, North Dakota; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Anacortes, Washington. Of the $10.45-million
Group members include: Air France, Air New Zealand, Alaska Airlines, ANA (All Nippon Airways), British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Cargolux, TUIfly, Gulf Air, Japan Airlines, KLM, SAS, Virgin Atlantic Airways and Virgin Blue. Boeing and Honeywell’s UOP are associate members. Earlier post.).
aviation fuel at the scale or speed needed to achieve industry goals, the report focuses on a portfolio of options, including different conversion technologies and sources of potentially sustainable biomass, including oilseeds, forest residues, solid waste, and algae. environmental conditions and spur regional economies.
In subsequent years, the Far North Fiber project will lay down a cable through the Northwest Passage, connecting Iceland to Greenland, then Canada, Alaska, and finally Japan. This first microGEO will launch in early 2023 , and start providing service to Alaska, tripling the state’s satellite bandwidth while cutting its cost.
The Energy Commission also approved almost $16 million in research grants to help develop the next generation of energy efficient technologies for commercial and residential buildings; $11 million for projects to convert feedstock and waste into biofuels; and about $900,000 for natural gas innovations.
Another trick that can be done with a heat pump (in cabin heating mode, anyway) is to capture the waste heat from the traction inverter, motor, etc, extending the temperature range over which it can operate without resorting to a backup source such as a resistance heater.
One Step Closer to Mapping Icy Moons Like Europa, Enceladus - Astrobotic tested AstroNav in Alaska to demonstrate precision landing and hazard detection on icy moons in the outer solar system. The panorama was captured by the rover's Mast Camera, or Mastcam, on July 3, 2021, the 3,167th Martian day, or sol, of its mission. [

Woody biomass, municipal waste potential. Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington. 0.3% (this is only for dedicated energy crops and woody biomass from logging waste). This region has the most robust growing season in the US that supports the highest gallons-per-acre crops of all biofuels crops. million acres, 11.4%
Another potential use of allowance value is to provide the general public a “dividend” related to the public’s having granted firms the right to make use of the waste-disposal services of the atmosphere through their emissions. The federal American Clean Energy and Security Act proposes to disburse dividends via tax refunds to all U.S.
Firefly wasted no time putting that experience to good use. Pending that regulatory approval, ABL Space intends to launch RS1 out of Kodiak, Alaska as early as mid-October.
While this increases efficiency for EVs (it takes less energy to maintain a warm temperature if the vehicle is preheated), preheating a gas vehicle has the opposite effect (idling means getting zero miles per gallon, can waste up to half a gallon of fuel per hour, and increases engine wear and tear).
V2G helps solve the major problem that demand for electricity is high during the day when everything from industrial plants to air conditioning is running full blast and then excess electricity is wasted at night. Several early models of passenger vehicles have enough energy stored in advanced batteries to power several homes for hours.
Examples of eliminations include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the Mexico Border. Although the overall budget for the US Department of Energy (DOE) is a requested $28.0 billion—a $1.7-billion billion or 5.6%
