New simple, energy-efficient process for the direct production of renewable diesel from biomass waste

Green Car Congress

Non-edible carbohydrates are converted to renewable diesel-range liquids via two consecutive catalytic steps. A team at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) has designed a new simple, energy-efficient process (that also does not require any organic solvents) for the production of renewable diesel from biomass waste.

Twelve and LanzaTech successfully convert CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

It’s also often produced using corn and other crop feedstocks, but this approach is dependent on crops that otherwise could be used to grow food or waste feedstocks. Our process aims to rebalance the overabundance of carbon in our environment and instead reuse it for meaningful applications. —LanzaTech CEO Dr. Jennifer Holmgren.

Researchers develop new stable artificial photosynthesis device to produce ethylene and hydrogen from sunlight and CO2

Green Car Congress

A research team has developed a new artificial photosynthesis device component with remarkable stability and longevity as it selectively converts sunlight and carbon dioxide into two promising sources of renewable fuels: ethylene and hydrogen. We knew it was unstable—but we were surprised to learn just how unstable it really is.
