NREL report estimates gasoline produced from biomass could cost about the same as ethanol

Green Car Congress

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. In the MTG section of the NREL report, a fluidized bed reactor was utilized (proven at the pilot scale) instead of the fixed bed reactor utilized by PNNL (proven at the commercial scale).

Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

The team’s use of permanent magnets may not be the ticket to producing commercial-scale energy, but PPPL’s accelerated design-build-test strategy could crank out new insights on plasma behavior that could push the field forward more rapidly. Fusion reactions have powered the sun since it formed an estimated 4.6
