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

Green Car Congress

The biocrude oil came from many different sources, including wastewater sludge from Detroit, and food waste collected from prison and an army base. The research showed that essentially any biocrude, regardless of wet-waste sources, could be used in the process and the catalyst remained robust during the entire run.

DOE awards LanzaTech $4M for low-carbon jet & diesel demo plant; 3M gpy; Audi evaluating fuel properties

Green Car Congress

The LanzaTech facility will recycle industrial waste gases from steel manufacturing to produce a low cost ethanol intermediate: “Lanzanol.” LanzaTech captures the waste gas from refineries and manufacturing plants and feeds the CO-rich gas to microbes that consume the gas and produce ethanol.

Unitel Develops New Process for Algal Biofuels Production; Renewable Jet Fuel One Output

Green Car Congress

In the Unitel process, the feedstock—a slurry or “soup” of water and cultivated algae (1% to 20% by weight) is continuously treated in a special hydrolysis reactor to yield: a fatty acid product; a “sweet” water stream containing glycerol and other solubles; and. Neogen – beneficial harvesting of low grade waste heat.
