GTI quantifies opportunity to produce low-carbon renewable natural gas (RNG) from wood wastes

Green Car Congress

GTI has released a site-specific engineering design titled “ Low-Carbon Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from Wood Wastes ”. GTI led a team of engineers and scientists to produce a blueprint for converting an existing biomass facility into an RNG production site, using the wood waste feedstock and some of the existing infrastructure.

Bosch, Shell, and Volkswagen develop renewable gasoline with 20% lower CO2; rollout of Blue Gasoline this year

Green Car Congress

The new fuel, called Blue Gasoline, similarly contains up to 33% renewables, ensuring a well-to-wheel reduction in carbon emissions of at least 20% per kilometer driven. On the road to climate-friendly mobility, we must ensure we don’t leave any technical opportunities untapped, starting with electromobility and ending with renewable fuels.

Alliance Formed to Commercialize Solar Reforming Technologies to Convert Waste CO2 into Synthetic Fuel

Green Car Congress

An alliance of industry, academic and government organizations has formed to commercialize technologies that will utilize concentrated solar energy to convert waste CO 2 into synthetic fuels. Earlier post.). Sandia began working on research, development and demonstration of solar reforming technologies more than 20 years ago.

Engineered E. coli could make carbohydrates, renewable fuel, from CO2

Green Car Congress

The ultimate aim would be to capture wasted CO 2 using renewable hydrogen gas from biohydrogen—as in this research—or electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, and convert it to formic acid. That could have been accomplished by an enzyme “such as the one we found in E. We wanted to try this in the lab.”.

Joule expands solar CO2 conversion platform to produce renewable gasoline and jet hydrocarbons

Green Car Congress

Joule, the developer of a direct, single-step, continuous process for the production of solar hydrocarbon fuels ( earlier post ), has extended its solar CO 2 conversion platform to produce renewable gasoline- and jet fuel-range hydrocarbons. Joule is now commercializing its first product, Sunflow-E, for global availability in early 2015.

Volvo Cars switches to biodiesel for ocean freight; cutting fossil CO2 emissions by 84%

Green Car Congress

From now on, most of these seafaring journeys are made with renewable fuel instead of traditional fossil fuel. Due to the renewable fuel, CO 2 emissions are reduced by at least 84% (Well-to-Wake, WTW) compared to fossil fuel. Renewable fuel is not the end game for removing CO 2 from the world’s ocean freight needs.
