The US Department of Energy (DOE) released its five-year 2014-2018 Strategic Plan. The President’s Climate Action Plan contains a goal of doubling renewable energy generation from wind, solar, and geothermal sources between 2012 and 2020. Demonstrate three grid-connected advanced offshore wind concepts by 2017. ?.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have identified two main challenges for renewable biofuel production from cheap sources: lowering the cost of developing microbial cell factories; and establishing more efficient methods for hydrolysis of biomass to sugars for fermentation. That is in line with our research too.

The federal government and its partners hope to support the annual production of 1 billion gallons of drop in aviation biofuel by 2018. In October 2010, USDA and the FAA jointly announced a three-year agreement to develop aviation fuel from forest and crop residues and other “green” feedstocks in order to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

Unlike Lithium, hydrogen is the most plentiful element in the universe ( Lithium is the key component in electric vehicle batteries). Hydrogen production as mentioned above is based on electrolysis, a chemical process that produces hydrogen which is a universal, light, and highly reactive fuel. So what is green hydrogen?

If taken from such sources, hydrogen is a fossil fuel, and is not a renewable resource. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term. In essence this mandates a complete billion dollar replication of the oil industry’s distribution network.

Benzene, an aromatic hydrocarbon, is a natural component of crude oil and is one of the elementary petrochemicals. In view of the finite nature of petrochemical sources and the environmental impact of fossil fuel recovery, schemes that provide access to aromatics from renewable sources are desirable in the long term.
