reported that ramp-up of unit operations was completed during the second quarter, making its MontanaRenewables subsidiary the largest producer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in North America (approximately 30 million gallons per year). The Great Falls refinery in Montana produces both SAF and RD using Topsoe HydroFlex technology.
An updated life cycle analysis of the carbon footprint of camelina-based biojet fuel found that the renewable fuel reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 75% compared to traditional petroleum-based jet fuel, according to a study by researchers from Michigan Tech University (MTU), Targeted Growth and UOP LLC, a Honeywell company.
Camelina-based biofuel producer Sustainable Oils has opened an expanded camelina research facility in Bozeman with the goal of delivering improved camelina varieties to growers even more quickly. The new facility doubles Sustainable Oils’s laboratory and office space. —Jack Kiser, research manager for Sustainable Oils.
US production capacity for renewable diesel could more than double from current levels by the end of 2025, based on several announcements for projects that are either under construction or could start development soon, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). billion gallons per year (gal/y), at the end of 2022.
Sustainable Oils, a producer of renewable, low carbon and domestically produced camelina-based fuels, provided the hydrotreated renewable jet (HRJ) fuel used to create the 50-50 HRJ8-JP8 blend used in an all-engine biofuel flight test in a US Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt II. Earlier post.). B-roll of the test flight.
The study was based on camelina grown in Montana by Sustainable Oils and processed into renewable jet and diesel fuels using UOP hydroprocessing technology. It is estimated that the state of Montana alone could support between 2 and 3 million acres of camelina, generating 200 to 300 million gallons of oil each year.
There are many benefits to using beetle-killed wood for renewable fuel production. Partners include: University of Idaho, University of Montana, Montana State University and the University of Wyoming, U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, National Renewable Energy Lab and Cool Planet Energy Systems.
The MOU with AltAir contemplates the production and purchase of up to 750 million gallons of jet fuel and diesel fuel over 10 years (75 million gallons per year) derived from camelina oil. AltAir Fuels LLC was formed in 2008 to develop projects for the production of jet fuel from renewable and sustainable oils. Earlier post.).
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) will award some $25 million to four projects to research and development of next-generation renewable energy and high-value biobased products—such as biofuels—from a variety of biomass sources. Ceramatec, Inc.,
The announcement provides the opportunity to expand the use of non-food, energy crops for liquid biofuels and to help meet state mandated Renewal Portfolio Standards (RPS). REPREVE Renewables, based in Georgia, also is the sponsor of the project’s accompanying environmental assessment. USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) administers BCAP.
The California Air Resources Board has issued Sustainable Oils Inc., The feedstock-only pathway includes only the CI components for farming, agricultural chemicals, camelina transportation, and oil extraction. Camelina contains about 35 to 38% oil, which makes it suitable for biofuels production. gCO 2 e/MJ. gCO 2 e/MJ and 18.7
Montana State University. The team, which includes researchers from Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota, seeks to identify a framework of carbon mitigation strategies that would minimize conflicts with food security and clean energy production priorities. Improving Water Management, Treatment and Recovery in Oil and Gas Production.
The project “Fungal Processes for Direct Bioconversion of Cellulose to Hydrocarbons” (0937613) will be led by Brent Peyton of Montana State University, in collaboration with Ross Carlson and Gary Strobel, also of Montana State, and with Mitchell Smooke and Scott Strobel of Yale University. Fungal fermentation of cellulose for fuels.

The number varies greatly, but the ConocoPhillips refinery in Billings, Montana processes 62,000 bbls of crude oil , or 2.6 That is 879 million gallons of crude oil per year. gallons of water per gallon of crude oil processed. million gallons per day. The water usage for the plant is 456 million gallons.
Currently that means burning coal, coke, fuel oil, or natural gas, often along with waste plastics and tires. To do that, they’re taking carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology already used in the oil and gas industry and bolting it onto their cement plants.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a report outlining both the current state of renewable transportation fuels efforts in the US and a plan to develop regional strategies to increase the production, marketing and distribution of biofuels. Soybean oil, Energy cane, Biomass Sorghum, Perennial grasses, Woody biomass.
On Wednesday, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan issued a statement calling on OPEC+ to increase oil production: While OPEC+ recently agreed to production increases, these increases will not fully offset previous production cuts that OPEC+ imposed during the pandemic until well into 2022. Just one day after the U.S.
Environmentalists and industries resurrected the idea in recent years as a centerpiece of measures to address global warming and growing oil imports. states (Arizona, California, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington) and four Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec). Representatives Henry A.
quadrillion BTU of energy annually, equivalent to 280 million barrels of oil, or a month’s worth of that nation’s oil imports. of Science & Technology; Montana Gallatin College; Montana State U.; MontanaTech; National Energy Technology National Laboratory; National Renewable Energy Laboratory; North Carolina State U.;
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory have determined that 700,000 acres of federal lands will be needed for solar farms over the next 20 years, so BLM recommended 22 million acres to give “maximum flexibility” to help the US reach its net zero by 2035 power sector goal.
