Phase 1 of DOE-funded ABBA Integrated Biorefinery project begins; renewable jet, gasoline, diesel and nanocellulose

Green Car Congress

Phase 1 of the ABBA Integrated Biorefinery project, to be built at the AVAPCO Thomaston Georgia site, has begun. The project, which will co-produce full replacement renewable jet fuel, gasoline, diesel and Bioplus nanocellulose from woody biomass in an integrated biorefinery at AVAPCO’s site in Thomaston, Georgia, has received a $3.7-million

DOE awarding up to $13.4M for 5 projects for advanced biofuels and bioproducts

Green Car Congress

million for five projects to develop advanced biofuels and bioproducts that will help drive down the cost of producing gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from biomass. Fractional collection of the fuel product allows for the different fractions to be used as blend-stock for gasoline, diesel, or jet fuel. Earlier post.).

Oak Ridge team reveals surface structure of lignin; highly folded surface impedes enzymatic hydrolysis

Green Car Congress

Lignin clumps can inhibit the conversion of biofuel feedstocks into ethanol, a renewable substitute for gasoline. An improved understanding of the lignin aggregates will aid scientists in efforts to design a more effective pretreatment process, which in turn could lower the cost of biofuels. —Jeremy Smith.

Researchers progress with engineering E. coli to produce pinene for biosynthetic alternative to rocket fuel

Green Car Congress

Recent progress in engineering microbes has resulted in the production of biosynthetic alternatives to gasoline, diesel, and diesel precursors. Assuming raw material costs to be only 50% of the final cost, the final price of pinene would be $136/kg, or $443/gal, at current production levels. Credit: ACS, Sarria et al.

Georgia Tech study suggests unlinking EVs from CAFE and coordinating with power sector for low-cost benefits

Green Car Congress

Only in the case of high EV market share and a high renewable electricity standard (RES) do EVs make a material contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, they found. Understanding these linkages provides a basis for developing energy strategies with consideration of cost, technology, and policy goals. Credit: ACS, Choi et al.
