ARA Developing Catalytic Hydrothermal Process to Convert Plant Oils Into Non-Ester Biofuels (Biohydrocarbons)

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 14, 2010

To overcome these shortcomings, a novel technical approach based on high-temperature water chemistry, known as catalytic hydrothermolysis (CH), has been proposed. The presence of water serves as a reactant, catalyst, and solvent for typically acid- or base-catalyzed reactions.

Hydrogen for reverse water gas shift reaction to avoid producing CO 2 during the process is produced by electrolyzing water, driven by solar power. For comparison, they also modeled the production of methanol using only biomass as a fuel and also using coal as source of both carbon and energy. Energy conversion efficiency (%).

In comparison, the state’s goal is to achieve this amount by 2050. The city has provided incentives for the purchase of both EVs and charging ports, the installation of heat-pump water heaters , and the installation of solar and battery-storage systems. Or we can’t even have one EV charger go in.” Peak loading is the primary concern.

Direct-Injection Engine Study Finds That DMF Is a Promising Biofuel, With Combustion Performance and Regulated Emissions Comparable to Gasoline

Green Car Congress

MAY 16, 2010

With recent work improving the high yield conversion of biomass-derived carbohydrates to DMF ( earlier post , earlier post ), there is growing interest in using this as a bio-based substitute for petroleum-derived gasoline. With a boiling point of 92-94 °C, DMF is also less volatile than ethanol (bp 78 °C), and is immiscible with water.

Solubles were almost free from water and ash. The researchers also performed direct liquefaction of the raw materials (single-stage liquefaction) by two methods for comparison purposes. The solid soluble is finally obtained after removing the solvent by distillation. The carbon basis soluble yields were 19.4−31.2% for biomass wastes.
