Kreutz used two examples of CCTF systems in his analysis: biodiesel from microalgae and Sandia National Laboratory’s S2P process (an effort to utilize concentrated solar energy to convert waste CO 2 into synthetic fuels, earlier post ). Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e., their CO 2 (e.g. ~90%)
In a study investigating the effect of the water and free fatty acid (FFA) content in waste chicken fat from poultry processing plants on the production of renewable diesel (not biodiesel), researchers in Thailand have found that both higher FFA and water content improved the biohydrogenated diesel (BHD) yield. —Kaewmeesri et al.
Start-up Liquid Light, a developer of process technology to make major chemicals from low-cost, globally-abundant carbon dioxide ( earlier post ), has closed a $15-million Series B financing. New investors include Sustainable Conversion Ventures, which focuses on renewable fuels and chemicals investments.
To focus the research and development needed to achieve the Clean Fuels & Products ShotTM goals, DOE has identified five critical research areas: New technologies to maximize carbon incorporation and retention for low-cost, low-emissions feedstocks at scale.
Most of the methods currently under development involve converting biomass or waste, while there are also approaches to directly produce liquid transportation fuels from sunlight and carbon dioxide, typically using photosynthesis. Batteries for Electrical Energy Storage in Transportation (BEEST).
Liquid Light has developed proprietary process technology to make major chemicals from low-cost, globally-abundant carbon dioxide. This acquisition will enable the development of a powerful technology platform on the basis of CO 2 feedstock, meaning it turns waste into valuable products such as chemicals and plastics.
million of non-Federal cost sharing. In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed. The projects’ total value is approximately $35.8 million over four years, with $27.6
These projects will improve the performance and lower the cost and risk of technologies that can be used to produce biofuels, biopower, and bioproducts from biomass and waste resources. Scale-up and Qualification of Net-Zero Sustainable Aviation Fuels from Wet Waste. Topic 2: Waste to Energy Strategies for the Bioeconomy.
In contrast, we’ve built a low-cost solution that emulates large-scale results and commercial-scale economics without the need for hundreds of acres or hundreds of millions of dollars. With just one module, we will show what’s possible with 100 modules or more—a low-risk, high-return equation with near-term commercial impact.
Mineralization concepts utilizing CO 2 with industrial wastes. Mineralization concepts utilizing CO 2 with industrial wastes. The objective of this topic area is to support technology development for innovative concepts that utilize CO 2 to react with industrial wastes, such as tailings from mining operations (e.g.,
Novomer is commercializing a proprietary catalyst system that transforms waste CO 2 into high performance, low-cost polymers for a variety of applications, including foam and plastic that are easily recyclable. Low Finished Polymer Cost. Among these companies is Novomer. Tunable Molecular Structure.
Based on a Ford Focus, the ADEPT (Advanced Diesel Electric Powertrain) combines low-cost, micro/mild hybrid technologies to reduce CO 2 emissions by an additional 15-20%. This vehicle indicates a pathway to 70g/km at a cost/emissions reduction ratio superior to a full-hybrid solution.
We’re taking carbon dioxide, a waste product of combustion, and we’re pushing that combustion reaction backwards with very high selectivity to a useful fuel. We discovered somewhat by accident that this material worked. Ethanol was a surprise—it’s extremely difficult to go straight from carbon dioxide to ethanol with a single catalyst.
Their hybrid approach combines the highly efficient light harvesting of inorganic semiconductors with the high specificity, lowcost, and self-replication and -repair of biocatalysts. thermoacetica –CdS), enabling the photosynthesis of acetic acid from carbon dioxide.
wasted energy in plants into energy-dense fuel molecules. High Performance, LowCost Superconducting Wires and Coils. for High Power Wind Generators The University of Houston will develop a new, low-cost. American Superconductor will develop a new, low-cost. light energy. Lawrence Berkeley.
These plants will be fueled by coal, natural gas, biomass, and waste plastics and incorporate carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies. The Coal FIRST Initiative recognizes the importance of hydrogen production from coal, biomass, and waste plastics.
Heat exchangers are critical to efficient thermal energy use in a variety of applications, including electricity generation, nuclear reactors, transportation, petrochemical plants, waste heat recovery, and many more. Additively Manufactured High Efficiency and Low-Cost sCO 2 Heat Exchangers – $1,500,000.
Despite the many desirable attributes of PEF, the plastics industry has yet to find a low-cost way to manufacture it at scale. Instead of using sugar from corn to make FDCA, the Stanford team has been experimenting with furfural, a compound made from agricultural waste that has been widely used for decades.
Specifically, lowcost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.
This FOA addresses gaps in current research and development (R&D) which hinder better utilizing waste streams (e.g. Topic Area 4: Biofuels and Bioproducts from Wet Organic Waste Streams. Wet organic waste streams represent valuable potential feedstocks for the bioeconomy. scale operations.
As a reduced cost concept, it aims to make more intelligent use of electrical energy to achieve the desired reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This common core also provides greater confidence in the robustness of prototypes, while minimizing the cost of variants further supports the development of 48V systems.
Highly Efficient Electrocatalysts for Direct Conversion Of CO2 To Chemicals, $250,000. Robust Carbonic Anhydrases for Novel Biological, Sustainable and Low Energy CO2 Scrubbing Process from Waste Gases, $250,000. FIVSIM – An Accurate And Efficient Code for the Industrial Simulation of Flow Induced Vibrations, $1,500,000.
Ships, on the other hand, could safely transport varying amounts of CO 2 over long ranges for a relatively lowcost, says Toby Lockwood , a carbon-capture technology and markets expert at the Clean Air Task Force, in London. By 2024, Northern Lights aims to transport and store about 0.8
With two Electric cars, at the time a Nissan Lean and Mitsubishi Outlander, we use a considerable amount of electricity but not much petrol, so already we were a reasonable way down the less CO2 road. With Octopus Go we receive lowcost power between 00:30 and 04:30 every day. Tons of CO2. . Solar Panels: JA Solar.
To deal with this major special waste problem has to my knowledge never ever been brought to the attention of the readers of any paper around the world. Batteries are highly special toxic waste and cannot be dropped on the average dump site, so who is going to pay to get rid of this problem? — Kaare Nilsen 2. In the U.S.
