PNNL, OSU, Lanzatech improving efficiency and cost of ethanol-to-jet process

Green Car Congress

A single-step chemical conversion streamlines what is currently a multi-step process. A new microchannel reactor design further reduces costs while delivering a scalable modular processing system. 3D-printed microchannel mini-reactors greatly increase the efficiency of biofuel chemical conversion.

New catalyst for the direct conversion of ethanol to isobutene

Green Car Congress

less expensive—bio-ethanol rather than having to purify it first, potentially keeping costs lower and production times faster. With increased availability and reduced cost of bio-ethanol, conversion of this particular bio-based feedstock to highly valuable fuels and chemicals has been an especially important research goal.

New $30M ARPA-E program to develop new solar conversion and storage technologies; targeting higher solar penetration in mix

Green Car Congress

Schematic comparing the cost and dispatchability of PV to CSP with thermal storage. The “PV+Storage” box includes the high cost of electrical storage for PV. The term “dispatchable” indicates availability as needed. Although CSP can integrate inexpensive thermal energy storage, the cost of CSP solar energy capture is high.
