Researchers in China develop new process for direct synthesis of drop-in jet-fuel-range blendstock from lignocellulose

Green Car Congress

Researchers in China have developed an integrated two-bed continuous flow reactor process for the direct synthesis with high carbon yields (~70%) of dodecanol (C 12 H 26 O) or 2,4,8- trimethylnonane (C 12 H 26 O 2 )—a jet-fuel-range C 12 branched alkane—from methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), which can be derived from lignocellulose.

Can We Extend the Life of EV Batteries and Reduce Fire Risks?

Clean Fleet Report

EVs reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, but the lithium-ion batteries that power them suffer from an image problem. To reduce fire risks, many EV manufacturers use the following features in their batteries: Explosion-proof stainless steel: A rigid metal case surrounds the battery cell.

LanzaTech Pulls in $18M in Series B Funding; Qiming Ventures Leads

Green Car Congress

The financing follows LanzaTech’s signing with Baosteel, China’s largest steel and iron conglomerate, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) to commercialize its technologies for producing ethanol from steel mill off gases. Using industrial waste gases curbs GHG emissions and so maintains manufacturing sustainability in China.
