Mha (20%) of the peatlands of Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo in 2010, surpassing the area of Belgium and causing an annual carbon emission from peat decomposition of 230–310 Mt CO 2 e. Slightly more than half of the GHG emissions for these biofuels in the EPA’s analysis came from land use change. Earlier post.).

LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

Should the lab and pilot work prove successful and scalable, they will place a demo plant in Malaysia, Burton said. Lipids, in turn, are a proven pathway to jet, diesel and gasoline. Part of the challenge is locating sufficient quantities of hydrogen to enable large scale use of the CO 2 in waste gases.
