Researchers in South Korea are suggesting two new carbon-dioxide-utilized Gas-to-Liquids processes (CUGP) to increase the overall efficiency of conventional Fischer-Tropsch GTL. In a paper in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology , they report that the two CUGP options increase carbon efficiency by 21.1?41.3%

Very broadly, the biomass-to-gasoline (BTG) process assessed in the NREL report gasifies biomass to produce a syngas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This syngas is then converted into methanol, and the methanol is converted to gasoline using the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process first developed by Exxon Mobil.

EPA said that it worked closely with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regarding their development of transportation fuels lifecycle GHG impacts and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The analysis uses economic models to determine the area and location of land converted into cropland in each country as a result of the RFS program.

Researchers hope to capture this energy and use it to produce clean, zero-carbon electricity. And it’s become increasingly important as a rapidly warming climate and soaring electricity demand have made the need for stable, carbon-free power ever more acute. PPPL converted Spitzer’s Model C stellarator into a tokamak in 1969.
