TerraStar Energy to license Emerging Fuels Technology’s Fischer-Tropsch and Maxx Jet/Maxx Diesel upgrading technology

Green Car Congress

A typical plant will convert 300 tons per day of biomass into 20,000 gallons of zero-sulfur, ASTM-grade D975 drop-in diesel which can go directly into a fuel tank. FLEX plants owe their name to their flexibility of raw materials and their scalability, both of which enable them to convert solid biomass into liquid fuels via gasification.

RINA awards Freudenberg e-Power Systems type-approval for methanol-powered fuel cell system

Green Car Congress

Converting commercial ships on the high seas to CO 2 -neutral drive systems is a huge challenge. Nevertheless, fuel cells have tremendous advantages due to their high efficiency and low maintenance requirements. The heat required for the reformer can be obtained directly from the waste heat of the fuel cells.
