The IDEALFUEL project aims to create sustainable alternatives by developing new efficient and low-cost methods to produce low-sulfur heavy fuel oils from wood-based non-food biomass. Although cleaner fuels are available, many companies opt for HFOs due to their low cost. This project has received funding (€4.8

Liquid Light has developed proprietary process technology to make major chemicals from low-cost, globally-abundant carbon dioxide. It will extend our capabilities beyond catalytic conversion of biomass. It has filed more than 100 national patent applications of which more than twenty have been granted.

glucosidase and belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1), acts in the last stage of biomass degradation to produce free glucose for fermentation and conversion into ethanol. The study resulted from a project with a regular research grant from FAPESP and a Thematic Project also supported by FAPESP. The enzyme, which is called ?-glucosidase

This final processing step uses a novel catalyst developed by Exelus that achieves the conversion rapidly and at high selectivity, without generating low-value light alkanes like methane or ethane. It also has developed ExSyM, a new low-cost styrene monomer production technology based on new chemistry. ARPA-E Award.

Specifically, low cost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.

Biofuel projects are going to have trouble getting financing from Wall Street this year because all of them have questions about the long term pricing of petroleum; most of them have concerns about the pricing stability of their feedstocks; and many of the cellulosic projects have concerns about the conversion technologies.

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. The electrical system has perhaps 85% excess capacity most of the year which means we are wasting money in excess electric generation and distribution infrastructure and resources.
