At full capacity, the Hugoton facility will process 1,000 tons per day of biomass, most of which is harvested within a 50-mile radius each year—providing $17 million per year of extra income for local farmers whose agricultural waste would otherwise have little or no value.

University of British Columbia (UBC) engineers have used polymeric scrap tire fibers (STF) to develop a more resilient type of concrete that could be used for concrete structures such as buildings, roads, dams and bridges, while reducing landfill waste. Relative to a plain reference mixture, 0.4% STF and 0.3% and 99.4%, respectively.

Energy created can be stored when using less power or instead it can be used to heat or cool the cargo or for cooling water or heating accommodation. In addition, waste heat is used and becomes energy, so absolutely nothing is wasted. On top of this, there’s the 15% fuel reduction because of the ACES hull. —Rob Schuurmans.

In general, biofuels made from organic waste are environmentally more benign than those from energy crops. However very few studies include water use impacts.

Unlike high-temperature reforming, supplementary water is not required. Because exhaust-driven reforming uses only waste engine heat, it avoids this efficiency hit, the authors note. High-temperature reformers need to burn a portion of the fuel to maintain their reforming temperatures, thereby generating a fuel-economy penalty.

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel.
