A new CU-Boulder study indicates subalpine forests in the West will soak up less carbon dioxide as the climate warms and the growing seasons lengthen. The water-stressed trees were then less effective in converting CO 2 into biomass. Subalpine forests currently make up an estimated 70% of the western United States’ carbon sink.

Fulcrum BioEnergy, the parent company of Fulcrum Sierra BioFuels, has applied for a new fuel pathway under the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCSF) for its process of converting municipal solid waste (MSW) into Fischer-Tropsch (“FT”) diesel fuel. For 2016, the target for diesel and diesel substitutes is 99.97

The Sierra BioFuels Plant will utilize Fulcrum’s process for converting MSW into renewable syncrude that will then be upgraded to jet fuel. The Fulcrum process begins with the gasification of the organic material in the MSW feedstock to a synthesis gas (syngas) which consists primarily of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

Now, researchers from the University of Nevada and Washington State University have developed a novel efficient biphasic tandem catalytic process (biTCP) for synthesizing cycloalkanes from renewable terpenoid biomass (such as 1,8-cineole). 1,8-cineole is readily converted to p-menthane, which is a C 10 cycloalkane in the jet fuel range.

Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. The company is building a new plant in Nevada, and aims to be processing 10,000 tons of black mass (equivalent to about 150,000 EV battery packs) annually by 2025. The output consists of those critical battery minerals and metals.

Both technologies will use the synthesis gas—a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen—produced by the gasification of discarded seed corn, switchgrass, wood chips and other biomass. The key will be carbon-based nanoparticles just a few billionths of a meter wide. That reaction converts synthesis gas to ethanol.
