The Government of Canada is supporting a three-year project that will result in the construction of a $19-million, demonstration-scale facility in Alberta that will use algae to recycle industrial carbon dioxide emissions from an oil sands facility into commercial products such as biofuels.

A new study released by Global Forest Watch Canada finds that significant amounts of greenhouse gases are emitted through the disturbance and/or removal of biocarbon (trees, shrubs, peats), which overlay Alberta’s oil sands. These land-use change emissions have not previously been measured nor reported by governments and industry.

This release includes the following expansions and updates: Major expansions and updates: Water consumption of fuel production pathways: developed and updated water consumption for hydrogen from various sources, petroleum fuels, biofuels, and hydro-electric power. Shale oil: developed energy and GHG emissions intensities of U.S.

In a pre-response to that speech, having successfully advocated for plug-in hybrids like the forthcoming Chevy Volt, we propose that the President follow that speech up with a “realistic and conservative” roadmap to halve our oil use in 10 years. Oil is holding us all hostage, economically and physically. Finally, it’s time to begin.

times as energy intensive to produce as conventional diesel, which restricts the current financial and environmental feasibility of algae production, according to a new life cycle analysis by a team from the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford. Currently, algae-derived-biodiesel is up to 2.5 tons/ha/year).

RTP rapidly heats biomass at ambient pressure to generate high yields of pourable, liquid pyrolysis oil. The pyrolysis oil—essentially a bio crude oil—will then be upgraded to green transport fuels using technology developed by UOP working with DOE, the DOE’s National Renewable Energy Lab and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

Actual production cost will vary, either below or above $1.00 Depending on the feedstock and with the cogeneration of bioelectricity or steam export, the Coskata process can result in up to a 96% reduction of CO 2 in the production of the fuel and is up to 7.7 We will have the lowest production cost of ethanol in the industry.
