PNNL biocrude-to-diesel demo passes 2,000-hour catalyst stability milestone

Green Car Congress

Scientists and engineers led by the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) conducted the research to show that the process is robust enough to handle many kinds of raw material without failing. It addresses the need to convert biocrude, a mixture of carbon-based polymers, into biofuels.

VTT and Neste to build integrated Power-to-Liquids demo facility; CO2 capture, green hydrogen and e-fuels production

Green Car Congress

E-fuels offer a way to expand the carbon-neutral transport fuel pool beyond biomass-based renewable fuels to replace fossil fuels in existing internal combustion engines. VTT will provide the fuel synthesis unit and technology and Neste carries out upgrading of the synthetic crude oil into fuel products fulfilling the specifications.
