ETH Zurich: carbon-neutral fuel made from sunlight and air

Green Car Congress

Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a novel technology that produces liquid hydrocarbon fuels exclusively from sunlight and air and have demonstrated the entire thermochemical process chain under real field conditions. CO 2 and water are extracted directly from ambient air via an adsorption/desorption process.

EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

Biocrudes from three representative feedstocks—Spirulina (micro-algae), sewage sludge, and wheat straw—were further upgraded to a mixture of hydrocarbon fuels at Aalborg University (Denmark). Analyses of the kerosene fractions of the upgraded biocrude show promising compositions for a use as aviation fuel.

AVA Biochem begins commercial-scale production of 5-HMF from biomass using HTC

Green Car Congress

AVA Biochem in Muttenz (Switzerland) has begun commercial-scale production of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (5-MHF) from biomass at its Biochem-1 facility using a modified version of a hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) process developed by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). This yellow, low-melting solid is highly water-soluble.
