Researchers at the University of Witwatersrand and the University of South Africa are proposing replacing the final purification steps of conventional bio-ethanol production with a simple gasoline-blending step. The nature of the fermentation process dictates that fermentation products are dilute, comprised primarily of water.

With its prodigious growth habit, the eucalyptus tree, one of the world’s most widely planted hardwood trees, has the potential to enhance sustainable biofuels and biomaterials production, and to provide a stable year-round source of biomass that doesn’t compete with food crops. Trees play a significant role in the global carbon cycle.

In 2015, farms in Limpopo Province of South Africa, from which the biofuel for the flights was sourced, achieved certification from the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB), one of the strongest sustainability standards in the world. RSB certification provides a model for expansion of Project Solaris to larger scale production.

This development is a significant step towards the implementation of CO 2 hydrogenation technology in South Africa. There are two ways to convert CO 2 into a useful range of products using FT chemistry. The synthesis gas is then reacted over a suitable FT catalyst, to produce hydrocarbons and water.

With all this, consumers and policymakers alike are hopeful that society will soon greatly reduce its carbon emissions by replacing today’s cars with electric vehicles. For EVs, much of the environmental burden centers on the production of batteries, the most energy- and resource-intensive component of the vehicle.
