The projects, led by universities, private companies, and national laboratories, were selected to develop technologies to advance UNF recycling, reduce the volume of high-level waste requiring permanent disposal, and provide safe domestic advanced reactor fuel stocks. Award amount: $1,580,774). Award amount: $4,715,163).
coal-cleaning plant in Alabama successfully reduced moisture from ultrafine coal waste. In some cases the water is evaporated to stabilize the deposits before they are recovered in surface reclamation; in others, the waste coal is not recovered for a variety of technological, operational, market, or other reasons.
The Gulf oil combustion test was performed in conjunction with Unified Fuels LLC of Foley, Alabama, a development partner of Cyclone. Unified’s proprietary waste-to-fuel systems utilize a form of distillation to create diesel or gasoline from biomass feedstock.
AirCapture develops on-site, modular technology that captures CO 2 from the air using waste heat from manufacturing plants, enabling customer operations to go carbon neutral and even negative. We are converting common industrial waste streams into product streams —Todd Brix.
Illinois Basin (Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Tennessee): Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois aims to lead a project to evaluate the domestic occurrence of strategic elements in coal, coal-based resources and waste streams from coal use. DOE Funding: $1,499,999. DOE Funding: $1,499,987. DOE Funding: $1,499,647.
Albrecht-Schmitt said that the discoveries could help scientists build new storage containers for radioactive waste, plus help separate radioactive fuel, aiding in its recycling. A paper on the study is published in the journal Nature Chemistry.
Under the Agreement, CMT will pursue a least-cost strategy for feedstock supply made possible by the project site’s proximity to feedstock sources and the flexibility of BlueFire’s process to use a wide spectrum of cellulosic waste materials in pure or mixed forms.

received a letter of intent for a $250-million loan guarantee to construct and operate a cellulosic ethanol biorefinery facility in rural western Alabama. Enerkem uses gasification followed by catalytic synthesis to produce synthetic fuels from biomass and waste. Coskata, Inc. Earlier post.). Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
EEB is produced from organic waste, including (and initially) sewage treatment bio-solids—the leftover, dirt-like organic material that remains after a community’s wastewater is treated. Data collected with colleagues at the University of Alabama have shown 70-90% conversion of feedstock to SCFAs (short chain fatty acids).
The Germany Spoke utilizes Li-Cycle’s Generation 3 Spoke technology to directly process all forms of lithium-ion battery waste, including full electric vehicle (EV) battery packs, without the need for discharging, dismantling or thermal processing.
These projects will improve the performance and lower the cost and risk of technologies that can be used to produce biofuels, biopower, and bioproducts from biomass and waste resources. University of Alabama. Scale-up and Qualification of Net-Zero Sustainable Aviation Fuels from Wet Waste. Project title. Federal share.

Geological Survey of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Ala. This project will evaluate the potential for combining and treating two waste streams (flowback water and acid mine drainage) for reuse as a frac fluid, and will also develop novel viscosity modifiers for water high in total dissolved solids. University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Waste water disposal from oil and gas production, including shale gas recovery, typically involves injection at relatively low pressures into large porous aquifers that are specifically targeted to accommodate large volumes of fluid.

Montgomery Area Transit System, Alabama: $2,675,000. The project will allow these 3rd rail heaters to be remotely monitored and turned on and off from a central control location depending on weather conditions, thus minimizing electricity use and eliminating wasted energy. Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, Ohio: $2,257,000.
These include the heavy-duty manufacturing regions of the upper Midwest; technology hubs in California and along the Pacific Coast; technology innovators on the East Coast including Massachusetts, New York, and the Carolinas; and a corridor that runs through, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana and Ohio.

Compared to Hyundai Motor’s plant in Montgomery, Alabama, the company expects to improve logistics and assembly automation rates significantly and the number of vehicles that can be produced. The company will apply the smart manufacturing platform to factories dedicated to EVs.
The lithium could be extracted from brine co-produced during oil and gas operations, providing an opportunity to extract a valuable commodity from what would otherwise be considered a waste stream, the USGS said. to 19 million tons (4.63 million metric tons) of lithium in Smackover Formation brine in southern Arkansas.
Waste heat from the electronics is dissipated via a separate cooling circuit to increase efficiency. The ML 450 HYBRID is produced at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in the United States. An integrated Auxiliary Power Module enables power to be exchanged between the 288-volt battery and the 12-volt onboard network.
Ten of 14 Honda manufacturing plants in North America are now operating with zero waste to landfill, while the remaining four plants are functioning with “virtually zero” waste to landfill. Zero waste to landfills is a key target in Honda’s “Green Factory” initiative in North America. pounds (28.5
