DOE to award $35M for bioenergy feedstock and algae R&D

Green Car Congress

DE-FOA-0002423 ) Topic Areas ins the FOA support DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office’s (BETO’s) objectives to reduce the minimum selling price of drop-in biofuels, lower the cost of biopower, and enable high-value products from biomass or waste resources. The Feedstock Technologies Topic Area will focus on the characterization of MSW streams.

New catalysts convert ethanol to butanol with high selectivity; potential low-cost upgrade for ethanol plants

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Bristol (UK) have developed a new family of catalysts that enables the conversion of ethanol into n-butanol—a higher alcohol with better characteristics for transportation applications than ethanol—with selectivity of more than 95% at good conversion. —Professor Duncan Wass.

DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design. The innovative new turbine designs, along with distributed load control and regulator concepts, significantly reduce the levelized cost of energy. It has a low maintenance cost, resulting in a lower cost of energy.

KIT team designs low-cost photoreactor for efficient solar-driven synthesis

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and their Canadian partners have designed a low-cost photoreactor design for solar-driven synthesis. The photoreactors have a low level of complexity, are readily manufacturable via mass fabrication techniques in polymers, and are easy to adapt to diverse photocatalysts.
