whereby Vitol would purchase 100% of the gasoline produced from MBFP’s industrial gasification and liquefaction facility located near. The contract is one of the first major commercial agreements in the US for the sale of liquid transport fuels made from coal. Medicine Bow, Wyoming. Earlier post.)
Methanol-to-gasoline process flow diagram. The resulting methanol would be blended with crude and transported via the trans-Alaska oil pipeline to Valdez, where it would be extracted from the oil and processed via Methanol-to-Gasoline technology into gasoline. Gasoline could be delivered from Valdez at $2.65 Source: EMRE.
Oil demand grew by less than 1%—the slowest rate amongst fossil fuels—while gas grew by 2.2%, and coal was the only fossil fuel with above average annual consumption growth at 5.4% Coal was again the fastest growing fossil fuel with predictable consequences for carbon emissions; it now accounts for 30.3% globally, and 8.4%
TXE is engaged in developing a gasification facility in Beaumont, Texas that will convert petroleum coke, an oil refining waste product, into hydrogen and pipeline quality carbon dioxide. Zero Emission Energy Plants Ltd. ZEEP ) has entered into a definitive agreement with Eastman Chemical Company Investments, Inc.,
Green indicates that the Nissan Leaf is lower emitting than the gasoline vehicle (Toyota Prius Hybrid or sales-weighted ICEV), while red means that the opposite holds. Most studies indicate that the key factor when comparing PEVs and gasoline vehicles is the magnitude of emissions associated with electricity production. Earlier post.)
A US-wide county-level study comparing lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from several light-duty passenger gasoline and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) has found that PEVs can have larger or smaller carbon footprints than gasoline vehicles depending on regional factors and the specific vehicle models being compared.
and Dallas, Texas, from US Development Group (USD), and the formation of a joint venture to coordinate access to these terminals, other assets KMP already owns and operates, and other projects under development. (KMP) announced a terminal venture designed specifically to handle renewable fuels. Baltimore, Md.,
GTL systems from the companies can also be used to process coal and biomass assets providing the ability to convert these natural gas streams into useable products including diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. Currently, INFRA’s team is performing start-up operations on a 100 bpd demonstration plant (M100) located in Wharton, Texas.
If we assume about $5 MBtu for coal in China, we could convert those hydrocarbons to ethanol for somewhere between $1.50 a gallon—the equivalence of producing gasoline from $60 per barrel crude. The Clear Lake facility will use natural gas as a feedstock, while Nanjing will use coal. The plant could then scale to 1.1
The gas is produced primarily during the combustion of gasoline in vehicle engines and coal in power plants. The mission flew previously in 2011 over Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, DC; in 2013 over the San Joaquin Valley, California; and in 2013 over Houston, Texas.
The University of Texas at Austin Energy Poll has found that US consumers strongly support increased production of energy from domestic sources, particularly natural gas and renewables. The energy resources seen as providing the most jobs are oil, 34%; renewable energy, 13%; coal, 12%; natural gas, 11%; and nuclear, 3%.
This process will repurpose carbon dioxide for use as a liquid fuel that can be readily used as a high octane gasoline substitute. The team anticipates at least a twofold productivity improvement over current levels and a cost that can be competitive with gasoline. Ohio State Univ. A123 Systems, Rutgers University).
Transportation sector gasoline demand declines. Continued fuel economy improvement in vehicles using other alternative fuels, gasoline, and diesel, combined with growth in the use of hybrid technologies (including micro, mild, full, and plug-in hybrid vehicles), limit the use of electric vehicles over the projection. Click to enlarge.
The new process produces sugars that can be fermented to biofuels and a solid fuel suitable as a coal substitute. The project will build on technology developed by Mark Holtzapple of Texas A&M University to efficiently ferment biomass for production of carboxylic acids. Louis; the State of Iowa; the Iowa Energy Center; and Iowa State.
The baseline carbon intensity for gasoline in the LCFS lookup table is 99.18 The plant was originally fueled by coal but was converted to natural gas in 2010. The landfill gas (LFG) for all three pathways is extracted from the McCommas landfill in Dallas, Texas. gCO 2 e/MJ for the corn ethanol, down to 10.64
These companies have sunk costs invested in coal, gas and oil plants and are content in maximizing the return on these investments. In contrast, imagine the public outcry if the cost of gasoline varied from $3.00 Gasoline prices varied for the week of 3/14 from $3.95 in Texas, a 15% swing.) in West Virginia to $6.12
Others are sugarcane molasses ethanol from Guatemala; mixed feedstock to biodiesel from Texas; and a new ARB-staff-developed pathway for North American landfill gas. The baseline CI value for gasoline is 95.86 g CO 2 e/MJ; for diesel fuel, it is 94.71 g CO 2 e/MJ. Endicott Biofuels mixed feedstock biodiesel: 10.05 gCO 2 e/MJ.
Of course we need energy to create electricity, and just as we’ve been burning petroleum for a century to move us and our stuff around, we’ve been burning oil and coal and natural gas to create electricity. While burning all those fuels has caused pollution just as surely as gasoline cars and trucks, we have options.
In Quest for Cleaner Energy, Texas City Touts Plug-In Car John J. Fialka Wall Street Journal March 26, 2007 AUSTIN, Texas -- Of all the plans cooked up by cities to combat pollution and global warming, the one hatched here is among the most ambitious -- and, some say, one of the more quixotic. Here's part of his story.
million barrels per day of gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, natural gas liquids and crude oil through more than 8,000 miles of pipelines. Second largest oil producer in Texas, producing more than 50,000 barrels per day. Dry bulk terminals are expected to handle over 100 million tons of materials in 2011, including products like coal.
We have diversified sources to meet many of our energy needs (for example, coal, nuclear power, hydroelectric and biomass). Yet, our transportation sector remains reliant upon oil — sixty percent of it imported — for the gasoline and diesel fuel on which it runs almost exclusively.
If every home in the United States were to implement these energy-saving technologies, it would be the equivalent of taking all the homes in California, New York and Texas—32 million homes—off the power grid. The MyEnergi Lifestyle model also predicts: 32% reduction of PM 2.5. 35% reduction of PM 10. 38% reduction of NO x.
First, the industry is approaching the ethanol-to-gasoline blend wall of 10% ethanol, 90% gasoline in standard gas engines. Second, a Congressional Budget Office study issued in April said even with subsidies ethanol is only profitable when a gallon of gasoline costs 70% or more than a bushel of corn, i.e,
” – Elon Musk “Within a decade, the internal combustion engine automobile is likely to look exactly like what it is – a machine that converts gasoline into much more heat than forward motion, a bizarre antiquity.” ” – George Clooney “Electric cars are coal powered cars.
Recently, DEVC Education Outreach Coordinator Dave Pence established an EV Club at the Horizons K-8 School in Boulder, where students are given hands-on experience converting the internal combustion gasoline engines of scooters, minibikes, bicycles and tricycles to electric. Air Force Academy. “We Jet Electrica 007.

Renewables That Even Coal-Based Utilities Can Love. The World's First Clean Motocross Race On Electric. ► January (13) What Goes Down, Must Go Up?
Giga Texas opening – Elon Musk Perhaps that’s been inspired by Musk’s massive job cuts at X (formerly Twitter), and at Tesla, where Musk nearly fired the entire Supercharger team earlier this year. He made a pledge to “bring back coal,” and he has suggested that climate change itself is a hoax created by China to hurt U.S.
