DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

estimated that with conversion by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and upgrading, the wet waste resource availability in the United States could be converted to jet fuel that is equivalent to about 24% of the U.S. Among their findings: The estimated minimum fuel selling prices were $1.22/gasoline Skaggs et al. demand in 2016.

EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

Cost-effectiveness: It can produce advanced biofuels, from marine fuels to kerosene, potentially at lower cost than most competing renewable fuel pathways. Under these conditions, biomass is converted into a crude bio-oil, which is separated from the process water behind the reactor.

EC JRC finds delivery of large amounts of green hydrogen over long distances could be cost-effective

Green Car Congress

The European Commission’s Joint Research Center (JRC) published a policy brief showing that delivery of large amounts of renewable hydrogen over long distances could be cost-effective. This finding is important because access to sufficient amounts of renewable hydrogen at low cost is essential for achieving a climate neutral Europe by 2050.
