Oxford team directly converts CO2 to jet fuel using iron-based catalysts

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a method to convert CO 2 directly into aviation fuel using a novel, inexpensive iron-based catalyst. The conversion reaction also produces light olefins—ethylene, propylene, and butenes—totalling a yield of 8.7%. and selectivity to C 8 –C 16 hydrocarbons of 47.8%

Researchers use chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas

Green Car Congress

Researchers at The Ohio State University have used a chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas—commonly called “sewer gas”. Hydrogen sulfide is emitted from manure piles and sewer pipes and is a key byproduct of industrial activities including refining oil and gas, producing paper and mining.

EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

So far, renewable diesel and jet fuels are mainly derived from plant oils, but the EU Renewable Energy Directive limits the use of biofuel from food and feed crops since they do not meet sustainability requirements when produced at large scale.

Topsoe enters agreement with Steeper Energy to introduce complete waste-to-biofuel solution

Green Car Congress

Topsoe and Steeper Energy , a developer of biomass conversion technologies, signed a global licensing agreement for a complete waste-to-fuel solution. The process conditions are carefully chosen to promote reaction pathways that favor high yields of high-quality renewable oil.

Chinese team uses light to convert fatty acids into alkanes with up to 95% yield; photocatalytic decarboxylation

Green Car Congress

WANG Feng at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported that photocatalytic decarboxylation is an efficient alternate pathway for converting biomass-derived fatty acids into alkanes under mild conditions of ambient temperature and pressure. This finding was published in Nature Catalysis.
