GTI quantifies opportunity to produce low-carbon renewable natural gas (RNG) from wood wastes

Green Car Congress

GTI has released a site-specific engineering design titled “ Low-Carbon Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from Wood Wastes ”. GTI led a team of engineers and scientists to produce a blueprint for converting an existing biomass facility into an RNG production site, using the wood waste feedstock and some of the existing infrastructure.

Engineered E. coli could make carbohydrates, renewable fuel, from CO2

Green Car Congress

The ultimate aim would be to capture wasted CO 2 using renewable hydrogen gas from biohydrogen—as in this research—or electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, and convert it to formic acid. That could have been accomplished by an enzyme “such as the one we found in E. We wanted to try this in the lab.”.

Lufthansa, ETH Zürich, Climeworks & Synhelion to cooperate on Sustainable Aviation Fuels; CO2 capture & solar thermochemical conversion

Green Car Congress

Climeworks direct air capture machines are powered solely by renewable energy or energy-from-waste. The focus is on sustainable fuels based on residual materials, woody biomass and renewable electrical energy (Power-to-Liquid). Lufthansa had signed a Letter of Intent with the Heide refinery in 2019 in this regard.
