Soletair demo plant produces renewable hydrocarbon fuel from CO2 captured from the air

Green Car Congress

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) are beginning testing of the Soletair demo plant, which uses air-captured carbon dioxide to produce renewable fuels and chemicals. The pilot plant is coupled to LUT’s solar power plant in Lappeenranta. kW solar PV power plant at LUT.

United and Oxy collaborate with syn-bio company Cemvita to produce SAF from CO2 using microbes

Green Car Congress

This includes funding projects such as pilot and demo plants, engineering studies, financing construction and operating SAF plants. Together, UAV and OLCV will fund development work at Cemvita to convert carbon dioxide into hydrocarbons for SAF. Cemvita is now the third SAF-related technology to receive an investment from UAV.

LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

Should the lab and pilot work prove successful and scalable, they will place a demo plant in Malaysia, Burton said. Accordingly, LanzaTech has begun look at the industrial conversion of acetic acid/acetate to lipids, and has demonstrated this. that conversion wouldn’t actually happen in a LanzaTech bioreactor.
