Synhelion starts construction of DAWN demo plant to produce solar fuels

Green Car Congress

The solar radiation is converted into high-temperature process heat of more than 1,000°C, then drives the thermochemical reaction to produce solar fuels. The reactor is fed with methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) of biowaste origin from a local paper mill, as well as water (H 2 O).

Stora Enso to build biomass-to-sugars demo plant in Louisiana

Green Car Congress

The plant will be used for industrial validation of the newly acquired extraction and separation technology developed by Virdia that enables cellulosic biomass, such as wood or agricultural waste, to be converted into highly refined sugars. It will be used to produce high purity five-carbon sugars and in particular xylose.
