Researchers identify new pathways in low-temp oxidation of hydrocarbons; important to fuel combustion, atmospheric chemistry and biochemistry

Green Car Congress

The new pathways lead to the conversion of KHPs [?-ketohydroperoxides] The new work shows that Korcek had the right concept, although some details differ from his predictions. That’s important, Green points out, since waste oil is among the largest hazardous waste streams in the United States. —William Green.

DOE awarding $72M to 27 projects to develop and advance carbon capture technologies, including direct air capture

Green Car Congress

LH CO 2 MENT Colorado Project. The proposed concept could also be further extended to the separation of acid gases and sulfur-containing gas molecules from process streams in chemical and natural gas industry. It will also help develop carbon reduction technologies for use in the steel sector. Susteon Inc.

DOE selects eight integrated biorefinery projects for up to $15M total in funding

Green Car Congress

Topic Area 2: High-value products from waste and/or other undervalued streams in an integrated biorefinery. The experimentally validated simulation toolkit will be generalized to aid in optimizing and de-risking biomass conversion processes that use these common feed handling and reactor feeding units.
