PNNL biocrude-to-diesel demo passes 2,000-hour catalyst stability milestone

Green Car Congress

A large-scale demonstration converting biocrude to renewable diesel fuel has passed a significant test, operating for more than 2,000 hours continuously without losing effectiveness. The biocrude oil came from many different sources, including wastewater sludge from Detroit, and food waste collected from prison and an army base.

This New Breed of Generator Can Run on Almost Any Fuel

Cars That Think

The ammonia reacts with oxygen in air to produce nitrogen gas and water, and the resulting force pushes against the walls of the box. If compression continues after the reaction happens, it fights against the pressure generated by the reaction, wasting energy. We have a customer project running on renewable biogas in a landfill.
