GTI quantifies opportunity to produce low-carbon renewable natural gas (RNG) from wood wastes

Green Car Congress

GTI has released a site-specific engineering design titled “ Low-Carbon Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from Wood Wastes ”. GTI led a team of engineers and scientists to produce a blueprint for converting an existing biomass facility into an RNG production site, using the wood waste feedstock and some of the existing infrastructure.

Novozymes launches commercial enzyme technology to convert waste oils into biodiesel

Green Car Congress

Novozymes has launched Eversa Transform, the first commercially available enzymatic solution (a liquid lipase) to convert both glycerides and free fatty acids (FFA) into biodiesel. Biodiesel producers can thereby use cooking oil or other lower grade oils as biodiesel feedstock, reducing their raw material costs. free fatty acids (FFA).

SITA UK and Cynar to build UKs first commercial plants to convert waste plastic to diesel

Green Car Congress

SITA UK, one of the country’s leading recycling and resource management companies and a subsidiary of Suez Environment, has signed an exclusive agreement with Cynar Plc to build Britain’s first fully operational plants to convert end of life plastic into diesel fuel. Cynar system. Pyrolysis then commences and the plastic becomes a vapor.

TerraStar Energy to license Emerging Fuels Technology’s Fischer-Tropsch and Maxx Jet/Maxx Diesel upgrading technology

Green Car Congress

A typical plant will convert 300 tons per day of biomass into 20,000 gallons of zero-sulfur, ASTM-grade D975 drop-in diesel which can go directly into a fuel tank. FLEX plants owe their name to their flexibility of raw materials and their scalability, both of which enable them to convert solid biomass into liquid fuels via gasification.

DOE to award up to $6.7M to projects to convert captured CO2 to useful products, including fuels

Green Car Congress

DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy is seeking these projects as part of the Department’s Carbon Storage program, which has the goal of developing and advancing technologies to improve the effectiveness of carbon storage, reduce the cost of implementation, and be ready for widespread commercial deployment in the 2025–2035 timeframe.

Study suggests that decarbonizing US transport sector by converting waste CO2 to fuels would require economical air-capture of CO2

Green Car Congress

Kreutz used two examples of CCTF systems in his analysis: biodiesel from microalgae and Sandia National Laboratory’s S2P process (an effort to utilize concentrated solar energy to convert waste CO 2 into synthetic fuels, earlier post ). Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e., their CO 2 (e.g. ~90%)
