into renewable diesel in a US Department of Energy (DOE) funded biorefinery project. To process the soluble sugars that accumulate in the plants, the sorghum juice was first extracted from the stems and concentrated into sugar syrup by Ceres. Amyris modifies farnesene to become renewable diesel. Source: Amyris. Click to enlarge.
Unlike prior processes for converting alcohols into hydrocarbons with multiple steps for dehydration, oligomerization, and hydrogenation, the Vertimass consolidated alcohol dehydration and oligomerization (CADO) conversion is accomplished in a single reactor system using a metal exchanged zeolite catalyst. —Pahola Thathiana Benavides.
has entered into letter of intent agreements with three sugar and ethanol producers in Brazil—Bunge Limited, Cosan and Açúcar Guarani with the purpose of partnering for the production of high value renewable specialty chemicals and fuels. Amyris Brasil, a wholly owned subsidiary of synthetic biology company Amyris Biotechnologies, Inc.
Among the new pathways to be considered is the production of renewable diesel from Australian tallow at Neste Oil’s Singapore plant. Neste Oil renewable diesel: 33.46 produces NExBTL non-ester renewable diesel (RD) from multiple feedstocks at its plant in Singapore. Earlier post.) gCO 2 e/MJ. Neste Oil Singapore Pte Ltd.
Renewable hydrocarbons company Amyris, Inc. a renewable energy company producing sugar, ethanol and electricity headquartered in São Paulo State, Brazil. The new production facility will be designed to process juice from up to one million tons of cane annually. Amyris’s joint venture with Grupo São Martinho.
Novozymes has developed a fungus that enables production of malic acid from renewable raw materials instead of oil. Malic acid is used as a flavor enhancer in the food industry and can be converted into other chemical derivatives used for a variety of plastic, polymer and resin products. C 4 acids can be converted into 1.4-butanediol
signed a binding, definitive Master Framework Agreement (MFA) to collaborate on providing renewable, low carbon, low particulate, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and renewable premium gasoline in India and neighboring countries. The renewable isobutanol will be aggregated and transferred to various refineries.
The US Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is working with Ecopetrol, the largest oil company in Colombia, to process the residue from sugar cane and palm oil harvesting into fuel ethanol for blending with gasoline. The plant spoils quickly if the sugars aren’t squeezed out.
Praj Industries and Gevo announced that Gevo’s proprietary isobutanol technology will now be available for licensing to processors of sugarcane juice and molasses. This follows on the back of Praj’s development work, adapting Gevo’s technology to sugarcane and molasses feedstocks. Earlier post.).
Edeniq’s technologies efficiently break down biomass to liberate cellulosic sugars that can be converted into ethanol, chemicals, and other products. Converting the corn fiber at these facilities is the first step and the fastest path to migrate toward cellulosic ethanol production in the US, the company said.
JUICE BOX For many years, environmentalists have looked forward to the coming of net-zero-energy buildings. But the net-zero target would never have been reachable without innovations in renewable- energy generation that let structures generate power on- site. Enjoy the latest images, and if you have suggestions, leave a comment below.
The plant will be designed with the potential to convert 500 tonnes/day of dry bagasse into approximately 150 tonnes/day of liquid hydrocarbon transportation fuel. Bagasse is the fibrous residue remaining after the extraction of juice from the crushed stalks of sugarcane. KBR), CRI’s exclusive FEED engineering services provider.
The plant was originally fueled by coal but was converted to natural gas in 2010. After the sugarcane has been crushed, the cane juice is filtered, treated with calcium hydroxide, decanted, and then sent to sugar production. Sabine’s process also yields a high-BTU, renewable co-product known as pitch.
Vaguely stated, fuel cells convert stored hydrogen gas into energy by combining it with oxygen. Consider 100 watts of power generated by a renewable energy source like a wind turbine. Fuel cells are the heart of hydrogen-powered vehicles. Hurdle No 1: The Inefficiency Of HFC. Hurdle No 2: The Sustainability Dilemma.
AC Propulsion cofounder Wally Rippel converted a Volkswagen microbus into an electric vehicle while he was still a student at Caltech. In the 1990s, batteries had far less capacity than they do today, and for the small community of EV users, the prospect of running out of juice and becoming stranded was very real.
This initiative is taking place in an environment where everyday citizens want to travel without causing emissions and are increasingly aware of the value of renewables and energy security. “We The inverter converts alternating current to direct current when charging the vehicle and back the other way when sending power into the grid.
Step away from them screens for a few hours and get your creative juices flowing! Switch to renewables. Installing renewable generation technology is a great way to make your home more sustainable, reduce your carbon footprint and lower your energy costs. Upcycle and recycling projects. 400 per annum on your electricity bills!
Let’s now step back and look at the trailing 3-month rankings: Sales of the larger, heavier models, priced above 500,000 NOK, have been juiced in November and December by the pull-forward discussed above. Let’s see if they can sustain this renewed resolve over an extended period. What has changed since a year ago?
For instance, they may have solar panels on their roof or could, via their utility, opt for energy from renewable sources.
