Engineers at Iowa State University have developed a hybrid process that combines bio- and electrocatalysis to convert glucose into bio-based unsaturated nylon-6,6—which has the advantage of an extra double bond in its backbone that can be used to tailor the polymer’s properties. Hybrid conversion of glucose into UPA-6,6.

Dow’s agreement with New Energy Blue, staffed by experts with deep experience in bio-conversion ventures, is the first agreement in North America to generate plastic source materials from corn stover (stalks and leaves). This is also Dow’s first agreement in North America to utilize agriculture residues for plastic production.

Iowa State University (ISU) researchers have developed technologies to efficiently produce, recover and separate sugars from the fast pyrolysis of biomass. Brown and Iowa State researchers are presenting present their ideas and findings during tcbiomass2011 , the International Conference on Thermochemical Conversion Science in Chicago.

University partners from the states of Washington, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Iowa will lead the projects, which focus in part on developing aviation biofuels from tall grasses, crop residues and forest resources. The project aims to develop a regional source of renewable aviation fuel for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

These activities will accelerate the ability to overcome several key barriers identified in the Algal Biofuels Roadmap, including: feedstock supply (strain development and cultivation); feedstock logistics (harvesting and extraction); and conversion (production of fuels and co-products). Low-cost one-step syngas to distillates.
