Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered a new way to train microbes to make n -butanol. Here we have harnessed the power of microbes to convert carbon dioxide into value-added multi-carbon compounds in a usable biofuel. We hope that it can be a steppingstone for future sustainable solar fuel production.

UPS has entered into multi-year renewable natural gas (RNG) agreements with Kinetrex Energy and TruStar Energy. The RNG will be used to fuel UPS’s LNG-powered trucks in Chicago, Columbus, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Toledo. When completed in March 2020, it will convert landfill methane to pipeline-quality natural gas.

That could save the chemical industry more than $9 billion annually, according to the US Department of Energy’s announcement of the institute. The so-called autothermal process increases the rate that biomass can be converted to products, allowing construction of smaller and simpler reactors suitable for modular systems.
