US researchers demo separation-free, IL-based process for conversion of biomass to advanced biofuel

Green Car Congress

This toxicity can be mitigated by extensive water washing to remove residual ILs prior to saccharification or fermentation, by use of a new class of lower toxicity ILs, by development of IL-tolerant enzyme mixtures and biofuel production strains, or by a combination of these techniques. … —Sundstrom et al.

PNNL biocrude-to-diesel demo passes 2,000-hour catalyst stability milestone

Green Car Congress

Biowaste to biofuel conversion process. For example, they are assessing the resources available within a 50-mile radius of Detroit, Mich. Since at least three-quarters of the input and output of this process consists of water, the ultimate success of any industrial scale-up will need to include a plan for dealing with wastewater.

Siluria Technologies announces successful start-up of first demo plant directly converting natural gas to ethylene through OCM

Green Car Congress

The ethane subsequently undergoes dehydrogenation to form ethylene and water. The conversion of methane to ethylene using OCM has been a sought-after goal of the chemical industry for more than 30 years because of its promise to add value to natural gas resources and reduce the costs of chemical, plastics and fuels production.

Alberta approves Cenovus Narrows Lake oil sands project with demo and phase-in of solvent aided process to improve steam-oil ratio and production rate

Green Car Congress

The Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) has given approval to Cenovus Energy Inc. SOR is a measure of efficiency for in-situ oil sands operations, with a low SOR meaning less water is needed and less natural gas is required, resulting in fewer emissions. with the full addition of SAP.
