Building on the SuperTruck activity, other projects aim at developing enabling technologies to improve the efficiency of heavy-duty diesel engines. The project will develop novel binders and active materials to enable a low-cost, water-based, electrodeposited lithium ion battery (LIB) electrode coating system and manufacturing process.

Five projects newly selected will help to replace the need for gasoline and diesel in vehicles. The oils will be hydrotreated to produce diesel and jet fuel. University of Wisconsin ($7 million). Harvest and preprocessing will be optimized to be compatible with the biochemical conversion to jet fuel and diesel.

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. Click to enlarge.
