CERT members collectively own and manage more than 30% of the coal west of the Mississippi; 40% of domestic uranium; and 10% of known national oil and gas reserves in the United States. CERT members also manage millions of acres of agricultural lands from which feedstock for biofuels may be grown.
announced that its fleet of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) has surpassed 100 million miles of operations, making it the first commercial fleet outsourcing provider to reach this milestone. Sixteen compressed natural gas vehicles, designed with the latest modifications and technological advances, will replace UBCR’s entire truck fleet.
The Board of ENVIA Energy (ENVIA) has decided to suspend operations at the Oklahoma City gas-to-liquids plant ( earlier post ) and to undertake a review of strategic alternatives in order to preserve the value inherent in the facility. The ENVIA plant uses Velocys Fischer-Tropsch technology to produce premium wax, diesel and naphtha.
The giant miscanthus was developed at the University of Mississippi and provided from a high yield plot by Repreve Renewables. Since this gasoline has no oxygenates, it is not subject to the ethanol blend wall and can be seamlessly mixed with pump gas. —Mike Cheiky, Cool Planet’s founder and CEO.
Velocys plc announced that production at ENVIA Energy’s Oklahoma City gas-to-liquids plant has reached an operational capacity of 200 barrels per day (bpd), passing a key capacity milestone. Earlier post.). The plant will continue ramping up to its target operational capacity of 250 bpd. Biorefinery.
In its Form 10-K (annual report) filed with the SEC on 17 March, cellulosic renewable fuels company KiOR said it has “ substantial doubts about [its] ability to continue as a going concern ”. KiOR is aiming to reduce its cost structure by, among other things, decreasing natural gas consumption by the facility. Earlier post.).
The new specification constructs a framework to enable the use of multiple alternative fuels (including both non-renewable and renewable blends) for aviation, and targets complete interchangeability with conventional fuels produced to specification D1655. Earlier post.).
The plant will divert more residential waste from landfills, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and produce a green transportation fuel. It will also directly contribute to meeting the provincial and federal renewable fuel standards by producing enough ethanol locally to fuel 400,000 cars per year, running on a 5% ethanol blend.
will be deployed beginning in January 2017 starting in Arizona, Texas, Nevada, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida, and, possibly in other states as well. In addition to its use of alternative vehicles, UPS uses millions of gallons of lower carbon footprint renewable diesel and renewable natural gas (RNG) in its fleet each year.
The gasification is carried out using air as a partial oxidation agent or using oxygen-enriched air, with the oxygen-enrichment level tailored to the desired composition of the synthetic gas. In December 2009, Enerkem was awarded US$50 million in funding by the US Department of Energy for development of its planned Mississippi plant.
Shell and its affiliates will build two additional small-scale natural gas liquefaction units to provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel for marine and heavy-duty on-road customers in North America. Shell is also working to use natural gas as a fuel in its own operations. The new Mountains scenario: gas as the energy backbone.
Amy Myers Jaffe, one of the report authors The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) mandates production targets for renewable fuels, mainly biodiesel and ethanol. Legislation giving biofuels preferences on the basis of greenhouse gas benefits should be avoided. Lifting the $0.54
