Cellulosic fuels company KiOR reveals “substantial doubts” about its viability; funding needed by 1 April

Green Car Congress

The BFCC process operates at moderate temperatures and pressures to convert biomass in a matter of seconds into a cellulosic crude oil that can be refined using standard refining equipment into cellulosic gasoline and diesel. The catalyst vaporizes the biomass and effects chemical reactions designed to target specific hydrocarbon molecules.

Enerkem To Receive Funding from Alberta Energy for Edmonton Waste-to-Biofuels Facility

Green Car Congress

This program is designed to stimulate investment in Alberta’s bio-energy sector through the construction of ethanol, biodiesel and biogas facilities in the province. Enerkem uses a thermochemical gasification process to produce a uniform syngas, which is subsequently converted into liquid fuels, such as ethanol, as well as biochemicals.

Waste Management Makes Strategic Investment in Waste-to-Fuels Company Enerkem

Green Car Congress

Enerkem uses a thermochemical gasification process to produce a uniform syngas, which is subsequently converted into liquid fuels, such as ethanol, as well as biochemicals. Enerkem’s technology can convert one tonne of raw material (dry base) into 360 liters (95 gallons) of cellulosic ethanol. Earlier post.).

China to be Site of First Commercial Implementation of TRIG Coal Gasifier

Green Car Congress

Syngas produced by coal gasification is used to generate electricity in a gas turbine. The exhaust gas from the turbine is the used to heat water, producing steam to generate additional electricity from a steam turbine. Source: NETL. Click to enlarge. That plant would include 65% carbon capture and sequestration.

BP Plans to Deploy Subsea Oil Recovery System in 6-8 Days, Weather Permitting

Green Car Congress

The system is designed to collect hydrocarbons from the well and pump them to a tanker at the surface, where they will be stored and shipped ashore. The FPSO will process the captured hydrocarbons and separate oil from water and gas. to convert these structures for use in deep waters.
