Montauk Renewables signs LOI with European Energy to provide CO2 for e-methanol production in Texas

Green Car Congress

EE North America intends to construct a Power-to-X facility in Texas that would take the biogenic CO 2 from Montauk’s locations and use it in the production of e-methanol. Montauk Renewables captures methane, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere, and converts it into either RNG or electrical power for the electrical grid.

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

Green Car Congress

coli host strain was engineered for the continuous production of formic acid from H 2 and CO 2 during bacterial growth in a pressurised batch bioreactor. coli catalyzes the reverse of this reaction—the production of H 2 and CO 2 from formic acid. In this study, an E. —Roger et al. Normally, an enzyme in E. 00299-21.
