US Navy researchers demonstrate synthesis of high-density biofuels from myrtenal using cyclopropanation

Green Car Congress

Biology provides a diverse array of structural motifs that can be leveraged for the synthesis of alternative fuels. Recent work has shown that chemoselective hydrogenation of ring-strained monoterpenes is an effective strategy for the generation of high-performance fuels. —Garrison et al.

DOE TEF project finds US can eliminate petroleum and reduce GHG by more than 80% in transportation by 2050; less use, more biofuels, expansion of electricity and hydrogen

Green Car Congress

TEF is organized into four research areas: light-duty vehicles; non-light-duty vehicles; fuels; and transportation demand. Findings are being detailed in a series of nine reports, six of which are now available. Achieving the reduction will require combined reductions across three factors: modes, demand and fuels.

UC Davis report finds LCFS compliance costs may rise rapidly; recommends offsetting measures

Green Car Congress

As a result, the authors note, industry faces only technological and economic constraints in choosing the optimal fuel mix to comply with the program. Expectations matter: Given the large amount of uncertainty regarding the availability of low CI fuels, high expected compliance costs can increase current compliance costs substantially.
