DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

estimated that with conversion by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and upgrading, the wet waste resource availability in the United States could be converted to jet fuel that is equivalent to about 24% of the U.S. Among their findings: The estimated minimum fuel selling prices were $1.22/gasoline Skaggs et al. demand in 2016.

Montauk Renewables signs LOI with European Energy to provide CO2 for e-methanol production in Texas

Green Car Congress

The planned delivery would prevent biogenic CO 2 from entering the atmosphere and put it to beneficial use, creating a new fixed-price commodity revenue stream for Montauk. Montauk Renewables captures methane, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere, and converts it into either RNG or electrical power for the electrical grid.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new method to convert captured CO 2 into methane, the primary component of natural gas. Different methods for converting CO 2 into methane have long been known. A paper on the work is published in ChemSusChem. —Heldebrant et al.

Blue Biofuels achieves full conversion (99%+) of cellulosic material to sugars on repeatable basis

Green Car Congress

reports that it has achieved full conversion ( 99% + ) of king grass cellulosic material to water soluble sugars on a repeatable basis. This conversion occurs with a reaction time of less than one minute. Full conversion is the most efficient use of the feedstock possible and exceeds earlier projections. Blue Biofuels, Inc.

New inexpensive catalyst for conversion of CO2 to CO could help with storage of renewable energy

Green Car Congress

carbon monoxide evolving catalyst (Bi-CMEC) that can be used in conjunction with ionic liquids to convert CO 2 to carbon monoxide (CO) using electricity. Moreover, Bi is a byproduct of Pb, Cu, and Sn refining, and has few significant commercial applications, resulting in the price of Bi being low and stable.

USDA and Blue Biofuels collaborate to optimize yields of king grass for cellulosic ethanol production

Green Car Congress

The knowledge gained from this agreement will be available to growers to allow them to efficiently supply the required biomass feedstock for production of sugars for cellulosic ethanol or further processed into renewable jet fuel. Lignin may be further converted into biodegradable bioplastics or used in ion exchange resins.
