EU research project IDEALFUEL seeks to develop marine low-sulfur heavy fuel oils from biomass; Bio-HFO

Green Car Congress

The use of heavy fuel oils (HFOs) contributes to global warming due to the fossil origin of these fuels and, moreover, generating non-negligible emissions of pollutants such as sulfur oxides. Although cleaner fuels are available, many companies opt for HFOs due to their low cost.

ECP Developing Plasma-Assisted Compact Fischer-Tropsch Gas-to-Liquids System

Green Car Congress

The proposed system uses a low-cost GlidArc plasma reactor to clean synthesis gas generated by simple gasification; the cleaned product gas is then compressed for processing by the compact plate reformer. In urban areas, waste cooking oil from restaurants could be the raw material. Click to enlarge. Albin Czernichowski, Prof.

DOE to Award Up to $27M in Phase III Small Business Awards; Algae Processing, Fuel Cells, Improved Materials for Motors, Synthetic Fuels Among Areas of Interest

Green Car Congress

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.
