Topsoe enters agreement with Steeper Energy to introduce complete waste-to-biofuel solution

Green Car Congress

Topsoe and Steeper Energy , a developer of biomass conversion technologies, signed a global licensing agreement for a complete waste-to-fuel solution. The end-products include Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), marine biofuel, and renewable diesel from waste biomass. Hydrofaction Oil is of higher quality than other biomass-derived oils.

HyMethShip seeks to fuel ship engines with hydrogen from methanol

Green Car Congress

The EU-funded HyMethShip project developed a system that innovatively combined a membrane reactor, a CO 2 capture system, a storage system for CO 2 and methanol as well as a hydrogen-fueled combustion engine to power ships. The bottom part shows how hydrogen for the engine is obtained from methanol in the reactor (blue arrow).

Biogas2PEM-FC project converts waste from olive oil production to electricity

Green Car Congress

An EU-funded project, Biogas2PEM-FC , has developed a system to convert the toxic waste from olive oil production into electricity. The waste from olive oil production—which contains pesticides and toxic organic compounds, is acidic and with a high salinity—is environmentally harmful and costly to discard.

EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

The EU-funded research project HyFlexFuel recently successfully produced biocrudes via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) from a variety of biomasses, including sewage sludge, food waste, manure, wheat straw, corn stover, pine sawdust, miscanthus and microalgae in a pilot-scale continuous HTL plant at Aarhus University (Denmark).

Shell to build one of Europe’s biggest biofuels facilities for SAF and renewable diesel; 820,000 tonnes/year

Green Car Congress

Once built, the facility will be among the largest in Europe to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel made from waste. Shell will use bio-naphtha and light hydrocarbon gasses created during the formation process to create hydrogen. The facility will not use virgin palm oil as feedstock.

Researchers use distillation to improve biocrude oil properties for fuel blending

Green Car Congress

Biocrude oil produced via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biomass could provide a low-carbon supplement for transportation fuel supply. Currently, reseachers are mainly focusing on catalytic and hydrogenation processes for upgrading HTL biocrude. 21.3%) compared to the biocrude oil, leading to values of 1.97, 0.003, 0.004, and 52.0
