The US Department of Energy (DOE) will award ( DE-FOA-0000996 ) up to $12 million in funding to advance the development of a cost-competitive pathway to produce high-performance carbon fiber for vehicle lightweighting from renewable non-food biomass. Reducing a vehicle’s weight by just 10% can improve fuel economy by 6% to 8%. Background.

Accordingly, LanzaTech has begun look at the industrial conversion of acetic acid/acetate to lipids, and has demonstrated this. LanzaTech envisions using partner technology to convert the acetic acid to lipids—i.e., that conversion wouldn’t actually happen in a LanzaTech bioreactor. Carbon Dioxide as a Feedstock.

Further, the system was designed for one-way power, not for distributed renewable-energy devices sending power back into the system. Converting a gas appliance to a heat pump, for example, would draw 4 to 6 kW, while an L2 charger for EVs would be 12 to 14 kW. For instance, Marshall stated, it is not unusual for a 37.5
