Topsoe enters agreement with Steeper Energy to introduce complete waste-to-biofuel solution

Green Car Congress

Topsoe and Steeper Energy , a developer of biomass conversion technologies, signed a global licensing agreement for a complete waste-to-fuel solution. The end-products include Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), marine biofuel, and renewable diesel from waste biomass. Steeper Energy was founded in 2011 and is backed by TOM Capital.

EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

The EU-funded research project HyFlexFuel recently successfully produced biocrudes via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) from a variety of biomasses, including sewage sludge, food waste, manure, wheat straw, corn stover, pine sawdust, miscanthus and microalgae in a pilot-scale continuous HTL plant at Aarhus University (Denmark).

Carbon Recycling International and Johnson Matthey collaborate on sustainable methanol

Green Car Congress

This can be recovered from either industrial processes or biomass, such as waste and residues, or atmospheric sources. Where a renewable electricity source is available, hydrogen can be generated by water electrolysis using MW-scale electrolyzer technology.

PNNL biocrude-to-diesel demo passes 2,000-hour catalyst stability milestone

Green Car Congress

The biocrude oil came from many different sources, including wastewater sludge from Detroit, and food waste collected from prison and an army base. The research showed that essentially any biocrude, regardless of wet-waste sources, could be used in the process and the catalyst remained robust during the entire run.

New version of Argonne lifecycle model for water footprint of biofuels now includes cellulosic feedstocks

Green Car Congress

of the online tool Water Assessment for Transportation Energy Resources ( WATER ) this week. This latest version of WATER allows, for the first time, biofuels manufacturers to analyze water consumption associated with use of cellulosic feedstocks such as residue left from lumber production and other wood-based resources.

Researchers Show New Piezeoelectrochemical Effect Can Scavenge Energy Wastes Such as Noise or Vibration to Generate Hydrogen Via Water Splitting

Green Car Congress

H 2 and O 2 are produced by deforming a ZnO fiber or BaTiO 3 dendrite in water via oxidation-reduction reactions. Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a phenomenon—the direct conversion of mechanical energy to chemical energy—which they termed the piezoelectrochemical (PZEC) effect.
