A new analysis from Argonne National Laboratory, funded by the US Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), shows the potential of an algae fractionation process to produce renewable diesel fuel with 63%–68% lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than conventional diesel. The study is published in the journal Algal Research.

A new biorefinery process developed by scientists at the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has proven to be significantly more effective at producing ethanol from algae than previous research. In traditional processes, the algae produce lipids that get converted into fuels. Knoshaug, Ryan Davis, Lieve M.L.

Among the new pathways to be considered is the production of renewable diesel from Australian tallow at Neste Oil’s Singapore plant. The baseline CI value for gasoline is 95.86 Neste Oil renewable diesel: 33.46 produces NExBTL non-ester renewable diesel (RD) from multiple feedstocks at its plant in Singapore. g CO 2 e/MJ.

Production of bio-based jet and diesel is expected to begin in 2013 and production of bio-based gasoline, part of the C 3 product platform, will follow in 2015. For the ethanol process, the acetic acid is then converted to an ester which is then hydrogenated to make ethanol. ZeaChem Inc., ZeaChem Inc.,

Renewable process for production of p-Xylene from glucose. The plastics industry currently produces p -xylene from petroleum; the new renewable process creates exactly the same chemical from biomass. Dauenhauer says this is a major breakthrough since other methods of producing renewable p -xylene are either expensive (e.g.,
