New Zealand-based waste gas and syngas to fuels company LanzaTech ( earlier post ) has attracted US$18 million in Series B financing from investors led by China-focused venture capital firm Qiming Ventures. LanzaTech uses proprietary bacteria to convert industrial waste gases into fuels and chemicals. Gary Reischel. Köpke et al.

UOP LLC used its renewable jet fuel process technology ( earlier post ) to convert oil from camelina, an inedible plant, to renewable jet fuel for a biofuel demonstration flight by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. UOP’s process technology was also used to produce jet fuel used in previous test flights conducted in the US, Japan and New Zealand.

The Bio-SPK process converts bio-derived oils (triglycerides and free fatty acids) to Bio-SPKs. Production of Bio-SPK. First, the oils are cleaned using standard oil cleaning procedures. A second reaction then isomerizes and cracks the diesel-range paraffins to paraffins with carbon numbers in the jet range.

In a paper earlier this year describing a new mixed oxide catalyst for the direct conversion of bio-ethanol to isobutene, researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) noted that trimerization of isobutene produces tri-isobutenes, which can be used as an additive for jet fuel.

Very broadly, the biomass-to-gasoline (BTG) process assessed in the NREL report gasifies biomass to produce a syngas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This syngas is then converted into methanol, and the methanol is converted to gasoline using the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process first developed by Exxon Mobil.

The primary objective of conventional hydrotreating is to remove impurities present in petroleum feedstocks, such as sulfur and nitrogen, via the addition of hydrogen. Another area of refining cost is the hydrogen consumption, which is required for taking the oxygen out of the natural feedstocks. —Jim Rekoske. —Jim Rekoske.

Using catalysts and heat, hydroprocessing removes oxygen, adds hydrogen and rearranges carbon molecules to create a drop-in petroleum substitute that requires no engine modifications in a 50% blend. Converting these molecules to the jet fuel range of 10-12 carbon atoms results in a loss of yield. Hydroprocessing. renewable diesel.
