Optimizing Bio-oil Produced Via Biomass Fast Pyrolysis with FCC Catalysts

Green Car Congress

A team at China’s Southeast University in Nanjing is developing a process to improve the thermal stability and heating value of bio-oil produced using catalytic fast pyrolysis. The hydrocarbons increased with the increase of the catalyst percentages, and this contributed to the decrease of the oxygen content of the bio-oil.

Study Questions Lifecycle Emissions Benefits of Using CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery as a Method for Carbon Sequestration

Green Car Congress

Using CO 2 injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)—an established commercial practice that currently annually consumes some 50 million metric tons of CO 2 (the majority from natural accumulations)—has also been identified as a method of sequestering CO 2 captured from industrial sources, such as power plants. CO 2 flooding for oil recovery.

Researchers show mixotrophic fermentation process improves carbon conversion, boosting yields and reducing CO2

Green Car Congress

The production costs for most chemicals via microbial fermentation are currently high compared to oil-derived products primarily because of operating costs associated with feedstock and feedstock processing. One way to mitigate high feedstock cost is to maximize conversion into the bioproduct of interest. Jones, Alan G. Fast, Ellinor D.
