Univ of Washington team working to make poplar coppice viable cheap, high-volume biofuel feedstock

NOVEMBER 17, 2017

Our research proved that poplar coppice can be a good option to meet the cheap, high-volume criteria of biofuel feedstock. Additionally, other tree parts go to waste when only the trunk is used, making the process more inefficient and wasteful. Chang Dou, Devin S. Chandler, Fernando L. 7b01000.

In particular, one of the projects will explore the idea of using cheap and widely available magnesium oxide-based mineral silicates to trap carbon dioxide from industry flue gases via a process known as dry mineral carbonation. The by-products of this can be used as construction or landfill materials.

QUB spin-out to commercialize to technique for production of MOFs; storage for natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 12, 2012

By simply grinding together two cheap precursors in a basic milling machine, the MOF material is produced in a matter of minutes, in a powder form, ready for applications without further treatment, and without generating solvent waste. Granting of the patent enabled the formation of MOF Technologies from Queen’s spin-out arm QUBIS.

Two chemists at Brown University have streamlined the conversion of waste vegetable oil (WVO) into biodiesel, eliminating the need for corrosive chemicals to perform the reactions. Current techniques for the conversion of waste vegetable oil to biodiesel take time, are costly and are inefficient. —Jason Sello.

We do not want to waste money on cheap, low-quality commodities. It supports organisations through grants and finances via OZEV or EVHS funding. Since we live in a world of scarce resources, it pays to be more economical. We want to save money. However, we want to make sure we maximise satisfaction.

A mid-spec EV9 Earth is around $120,000 in the traffic, while the entry-level Air is a comparatively cheap $107,000. The Air’s lumbered with a miserable 900kg – you’ll manage a small trailer of garden waste and little else. For you NSW lot, it’s $140,200. The Earth, meanwhile, trumps all with 512km range.
