Convert North Carolina Oil Resource 
Green Car Congress
JULY 3, 2010
Researchers from North Carolina A and T State University have converted swine manure to bio-oils by using ethanol as a solvent in an autoclave in the reaction temperature range of 240-360 °C without any catalyst. Bio-oils can be upgraded to transportation fuels. annual consumption of petroleum oil in the US.

Researchers at Auburn University and North Carolina State University have shown that using a simple pretreatment process—torrefaction—improves the quality of bio-oil produced via catalytic fast pyrolysis. These disadvantages hinder bio-oil from becoming a feasible solution as an alternate liquid fuel.

Southern Research Institute (SRI) entered into a cooperative agreement with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a mild liquefaction process that will economically convert biomass to petroleum refinery-ready bio-oils. Other liquefaction processes either use severe conditions or expensive catalysts to achieve stability.

Researchers from Duke University Medical Center, the University of North Carolina, and Brazil have sequenced the genome of PE-2, a strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that thrives on turning sugarcane into ethanol. When oil prices rose to new highs in the 1970s, Brazil invested in ethanol created from the its sugar cane crops.

plans to advance a novel technology discovered by UCLA researchers that uses concentrated solar energy to convert methane into green hydrogen and a high-value form of solid carbon. SCWDO uses heat to remove salts, metals and organic molecules from water and SMR then combines this pure water with methane to produce hydrogen.
