They were able to convert amorphous polypropylene and everyday bags and bottles effectively to lubricants with yields up to 80+%. Quantification of critical properties, including pour point, kinematic viscosity, and viscosity index, indicates that the products are promising alternatives to currently used base or synthetic oils.

Meanwhile, wet waste feedstocks, such as animal manure and fats, oils, and greases (FOG), represent another important category of resources that could be utilized to produce MCCI bioblendstocks due to its abundant availability. An open-access paper on their results is published in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.

With tuning, the catalyst can achieve a selectivity of 80% toward motor oil (C 21 –C 45 ). The recycling of plastic waste plays a large conceptual role in the quesst for the realization of a circular economy. Polypropylene constitutes about 30% of all plastic waste. A paper on their work is published in ChemSusChem.

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.

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.

Novozymes has launched Eversa Transform, the first commercially available enzymatic solution (a liquid lipase) to convert both glycerides and free fatty acids (FFA) into biodiesel. Biodiesel producers can thereby use cooking oil or other lower grade oils as biodiesel feedstock, reducing their raw material costs. FFA—i.e.,

Greenergy will invest in Front End Engineering Design (FEED) of a project to produce low-carbon transportation fuels from waste tires. billion tires are discarded each year worldwide, creating significant waste. This project will be the first of its kind to use waste tires as feedstock for low-carbon, low-sulfur fuel production.
