Researchers demonstrate sustainable integrated process for wastewater algae to biocrude via hydrothermal liquefaction

Green Car Congress

Traditional conversion technologies of algal biomass to biofuels have mainly included lipid extraction or pyrolysis for biodiesel, hydrotreated renewable diesel, or bio-oil production. HTL uses subcritical water as the chemical driving force to convert biomass to a carbon-rich biocrude. The yield of biocrude was 44.5 ± 4.7% carbon, 10.1%

U Chicago, MIT study suggests ongoing use of fossil fuels absent new carbon taxes

Green Car Congress

A paper by a team from the University of Chicago and MIT suggests that technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead to the continued use of fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions. for oil, 24% for coal, and 20% for natural gas.

California Air Resources Board posts revised draft of strategy to reduce “Super Pollutants”

Green Car Congress

California has already cut anthropogenic black carbon emissions by more than 90% since the 1960s, and existing measures are projected to cut mobile source emissions by 75% and total anthropogenic emissions by nearly 60% between 2000 and 2020. CO 2 remains in the atmosphere for up to a century.
