DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

Meanwhile, wet waste feedstocks, such as animal manure and fats, oils, and greases (FOG), represent another important category of resources that could be utilized to produce MCCI bioblendstocks due to its abundant availability. Skaggs et al. demand in 2016. Skaggs et al. demand in 2016.

Engineered E. coli could make carbohydrates, renewable fuel, from CO2

Green Car Congress

The investigators used a special pressurized bioreactor filled with H 2 and CO 2 to make the gases available to the microbes. The ultimate aim would be to capture wasted CO 2 using renewable hydrogen gas from biohydrogen—as in this research—or electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, and convert it to formic acid.

USDA and Blue Biofuels collaborate to optimize yields of king grass for cellulosic ethanol production

Green Car Congress

The knowledge gained from this agreement will be available to growers to allow them to efficiently supply the required biomass feedstock for production of sugars for cellulosic ethanol or further processed into renewable jet fuel. Both the USDA ARS and BIOF will supply resources needed for the project.
