Selected projects, by size of award, are: State of Wisconsin’s Wisconsin Clean Transportation Program. Fleets include transportation authorities, cities, school districts, the University of Michigan, FedEx, and Meijer. The project will replace 180 diesel drayage trucks at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach with LNG trucks.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison led by Dr. James Dumesic have developed a streamlined process for converting lignocellulosic biomass into chemicals or liquid transportation fuel. GVL is completely miscible with water, allowing wet biomass to be used in the process. Alonso et al. Click to enlarge.

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. It is much more than that. Table of Contents. Engineering Advantages of PHEV.

A team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison led by Dr. James Dumesic has developed an improved, streamlined process for the conversion of biomass to butyl esters and γ-valerolactone (GVL). Dumesic and his colleagues had earlier reported on the conversion of GVL to gasoline, jet and diesel fuel components.

Currently, Achates has demonstrated a single-cylinder CI OPOC two-stroke engine that matches the engine-out emissions of an advanced 2010 medium-duty diesel while achieving specific oil consumption of less than 0.1% A cost comparison showed an 11% cost improvement for the OP engine compared to a four-stroke diesel of equivalent power.

Depending on the reactants used in the esterification, the resulting valerates, which have good fuel properties, may be blended with gasoline or diesel. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin led by Dr. James Dumesic are exploring a different biofuel pathway involving the use of GVL. GVL to Biohydrocarbons.
