The BioBoost project concentrates on dry and wet residual biomass and wastes as feedstock for de-centralized conversion by fast pyrolysis, catalytic pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization to the intermediate energy carriers oil, coal or slurry. The resulting biosyncrude can be transported economically for further upgrading.

The grants will go to projects in 17 states. The target liquid fuel is isooctane, which fits well into the existing transportation fuel system in the United States. This project relies on microbes that use hydrogen to convert carbon dioxide into liquid transportation fuels. Electrofuels: Biofuels from Electricity.

Moreover, I’m concerned about the environment and eco-friendly transportation. Electric motors have higher efficiency rates compared to internal combustion engines, which waste a significant amount of energy as heat. These can include tax credits, rebates, grants, and preferential parking or access to certain areas.

Under the WEO 2011 central scenario, oil demand rises from 87 million barrels per day (mb/d) in 2010 to 99 mb/d in 2035, with all the net growth coming from the transport sector in emerging economies. Subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption of fossil fuels jumped to over $400 billion. Road transport. billion in 2035.

Other than the good news on oil consumption, very little was said in regards to transportation fuels. On 8 July, the US Treasury provided guidance on the grants while timing is still unclear on when the first block of loan guarantees will be awarded.

Electrifying transportation is critical to addressing the climate crisis and cutting tailpipe emissions, both of which disproportionately harm Indigenous, Black, and other communities of color. Plug In America believes we do not have to choose between electrifying transportation and protecting mining-affected communities and the environment.

Because electrical engineering uses a lot of mathematics, a subject Gelenbe liked, he figured he wouldn’t be wasting his time by studying EE.

If PHEVs became the major form of transportation, the use of fossil fuels would be cut dramatically. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish.

Experts predict that by the year 2060 global warming, if left unchecked, could result in a temperature rise of seven degrees Fahrenheit higher than temperatures before the Industrial Revolution when man started widespread use of coal and other fossil fuels. Do we really want to be remembered as the generation that wasted another decade?
