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

Green Car Congress

The milestone was first described at a virtual conference organized by NextGenRoadFuels, a European consortium funded by the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. It addresses the need to convert biocrude, a mixture of carbon-based polymers, into biofuels.

The work also suggests how such processes have major implications for forest carbon management. However, the enzymes in Agaricus such as heme-thiolate peroxidases and etherases predominate in the presence of humus-rich soil habitats, suggesting a higher ability to metabolize complex mixtures of derivatives of lignin and other polymers.

EPA honors winners of the 20th Annual Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge; advanced biofuels

Green Car Congress

For 2015, EPA announced a new award category for a green chemistry technology that has a “Specific Environmental Benefit: Climate Change.” Algenol, For Specific Environmental Benefit: Climate Change Award. This has led to improved biofuel productivity, higher economic returns, minimal waste production, and a lower carbon footprint.
