The California Energy Commission is issuing a solicitation ( GFO-17-901 ) to provide up to $3 million in funding for innovative, pre-commercial low-carbon fuel production processes that result in the development of bio-oil as an intermediate fuel with wide-scale adoption potential used for renewable jet fuel production. Background.

Joule has developed a highly modular system using highly engineered photosynthetic organisms to catalyze the conversion of sunlight and CO 2 directly to liquid hydrocarbons and ethanol ( earlier post ). Joule Fuels will initially commercialize Sunflow-E, with Sunflow-D for the global diesel market to follow. —William J.

Partnering with the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Cobalt completed multiple fermentation campaigns in a 9,000 liter fermenter, exceeding the target yield and other performance metrics for a commercial-scale facility. Tests resulted in high sugar conversion and high yields of butanol.

Should the lab and pilot work prove successful and scalable, they will place a demo plant in Malaysia, Burton said. Another challenge is—assuming successful large scale commercialization is possible—what to do with all the resulting acetic acid. that conversion wouldn’t actually happen in a LanzaTech bioreactor.

Global Bioenergies will use its demo plant, presently under construction on the site of the Leuna refinery, to produce these batches. However, Global Bioenergies’s current production pathway for bio-isobutene—fermenting sugars derived from starch or biomass—doesn’t mesh with Audi’s ideal e-fuels criteria: water, CO 2 and renewable energy.
