The US Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is working with Ecopetrol, the largest oil company in Colombia, to process the residue from sugar cane and palm oil harvesting into fuel ethanol for blending with gasoline. The plant spoils quickly if the sugars aren’t squeezed out.

Existing oil suppliers and gas-station operators don’t seem keen to push into the fuel-cell era, especially since there’s barely any hydrogen vehicles on the road now. An alternative to electrolysis is to use organic waste by extracting hydrogen from rotting food or sewage. Put this in a car and you have a fuel-cell electric vehicle.

A University of Maine chemical engineer and his research team have developed a new process—thermal deoxygenation (TDO)—to transform biomass, including forest residues, municipal solid waste, grasses, and construction wastes, into a hydrocarbon fuel oil. This produces a reaction resulting in a dark amber-colored oil.

The hydrogen fuel cell in the FCEV acts to keep the battery charged, but can directly power the electric drive motor, similar to the function of a gasoline-powered range extender.
