Under the agreement, Tesoro will purchase crude oil from Sapphire Energy’s Green Crude Farm in Columbus, New Mexico, which recently reached a new milestone: continuous cultivation and crude oil production. Wet extraction technology for algae-based crude oil has been considered one of the biggest challenges to commercialization.
and The Linde Group will expand their partnership to commercialize a new industrial-scale conversion technology needed to upgrade algae biomass into crude oil. Today, this Green Crude Farm is operating year-round and producing barrels of crude oil daily. Sapphire Energy, Inc.
KiOR, developer of a catalytic pyrolysis process to produce renewable oil from biomass, will receive a $75-million state-backed loan from Mississippi to bring the first three of its full-scale production facilities to the state. The first site will be built in Columbus, Mississippi and could open by the end of 2011. Clarion Ledger.
Cellulosic gasoline and diesel company KiOR reported that in July and August, its Columbus, Mississippi facility produced 172,398 gallons of fuel, bringing the 2013 production total from the facility to 357,532 gallons through 31 August. As part of those targets, EPA projects 6.00 million gallons (0.004%) of cellulosic biofuels.
developer of a catalytic pyrolysis process to produce renewable rude oil from biomass ( earlier post ), has begun initial shipments of cellulosic diesel from its plant in Columbus, Mississippi. KiOR’s renewable gasoline is the first renewable cellulosic gasoline registered by the Environmental Protection Agency for sale in the US.
one of the world leaders in algae-based “Green Crude” oil production, and Phillips 66, an integrated energy manufacturing and logistics company, have entered a strategic joint development agreement aimed at taking production of algae crude oil a significant step toward commercialization. San Diego-based Sapphire Energy, Inc.,
a developer of a catalytic pyrolysis process to produce renewable oil from biomass, has received a term sheet for a loan guarantee from the US Department of Energy’s Loan Guarantee Program supporting a more than $1-billion biofuels project. KiOR, Inc., Earlier post.) Khosla Ventures incubated the company in 2007 and is the lead investor.
developer of a catalytic pyrolysis process to produce renewable crude oil from biomass ( earlier post ), has achieved several key operational milestones at its commercial-scale cellulosic gasoline and diesel production facility in Columbus, Mississippi.
KiORs cellulosic gasoline and diesel are drop-in hydrocarbon fuels; its biomass-to-cellulosic fuel technology platform combines a proprietary catalyst systems with catalytic cracking processes that are used in crude oil refineries to produce gasoline. In April 2012, it mechanically completed its Columbus, Mississippi facility.
expects that, given current and anticipated operations through the remainder of the year, its Columbus, Mississippi facility will produce approximately 410,000 gallons of renewable fuel during the fourth quarter of 2013, bringing full year production total from the facility to approximately 920,000 gallons. Earlier post.) Earlier post.)
Sapphire Energy, a leading producer of crude oil from algae, and Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) announced a strategic partnership to further the research and development of algae biofuels. Today, the company has pioneered much of the science along the algae-to-energy value chain from biology, cultivation, harvest and extraction.
The biomass-to-cellulosic fuel technology platform combines KiOR’s proprietary catalyst systems with FCC processes that have been used in crude oil refineries to produce gasoline for more than 60 years. The crude oil proceeds to the hydrotreating unit to be refined into gasoline, diesel and fuel oil. —KiOR 10-K.
This is the second offtake agreement KiOR has signed for its Columbus, MS, facility, having announced an agreement with Hunt Refining Company in March of 2011. KiOR expects to begin production at its Columbus facility in the second half of 2012. Earlier post.)
million loan guarantee through the Biorefinery Assistance Program, administered by the USDA Rural Development-Cooperative Service, to build a fully integrated, algae-to-crude oil commercial demonstration facility in Columbus, New Mexico. 2009, the company was awarded a $54.5-million
he receipt of the Part 79 registrations for our cellulosic gasoline and diesel from EPA coincides perfectly with the start-up of our first production facility in Columbus, Mississippi next month. In July, KiOR had received Part 79 registration for its Renewable Gasoline Blendstock 5. Earlier post.).
developer of a catalytic pyrolysis process to produce renewable oil from biomass, and Catchlight Energy LLC (CLE), a 50-50 joint venture between subsidiaries of Chevron Corporation and Weyerhaeuser Company focused on providing liquid transportation fuels from sustainable forest-based resources, have signed a feedstock supply agreement.
developer of a catalytic pyrolysis process to produce renewable oil from biomass ( earlier post ), has signed a ground fuel supply agreement with FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. from KiOR’s first commercial production facility in Columbus, MS, which is scheduled to commence production in the second half of 2012. Earlier post.).
Cyclone will utilize Phoenix Power's waste motor oil combustion chamber / heat exchanger (CCHX) to supply steam to the system during these tests, which will also allow the team to document exhaust emissions from the integrated system.
developer of a catalytic pyrolysis process to produce renewable oil from biomass ( earlier post ), has signed an offtake agreement with Hunt Refining Company, which has agreed to purchase renewable gasoline and diesel blendstocks and fuel oil produced at KiOR’s first commercial facility to be located in Columbus, MS.
Sapphire Energy’s “Green Crude Farm” in Columbus, N.M., million loan guarantee to build a refined alga oil commercial facility. In continuous operation since May 2012, the plant is producing renewable algal oil that can be further refined to replace petroleum-derived diesel and jet fuel.
The Linde Group and algal-based crude oil and algal fuels developer Sapphire Energy, Inc. In addition, Linde will supply all of the CO 2 to Sapphire’s commercial demonstration facility in Columbus, New Mexico. The need for new sources of fuel as dependency on oil becomes more and more problematic is clear.
Battelle Memorial Institute (Columbus, OH) - Hybrid Approach to Repurpose Plastics Using Novel Engineered Processes (HARNESS) – DOE Funding: $1,999,778. Iowa State University (Ames, IA) - Modular Catalytic Reactors for Single-Use Polyolefin Conversion to Lubricating Oils from Upcycled Plastics (LOUPs) – DOE Funding: $2,500,000.
Battelle will address the growing demand for subsurface brine disposal from oil and gas production in the Northern Appalachian Basin (in Ohio and neighboring states) during the next two years. Additional funding and collaborative support is being provided by the oil and gas industry. Simplifying Computer Models for CO 2 Sequestration.
The focus of the overall MRCSP program is to develop a class of carbon sequestration technologies, which includes capture and storage of carbon dioxide in deep geologic structures such as saline formations, active and depleted oil and gas fields, organic rich shales, and unmineable coal seams.
Nina refers to one of Christopher Columbus' ships and is symbolic of our hope for freedom from oil. California-based Fisker Automotive was recently awarded a $529 million government loan from the DOE to be used for the design and production of plug-in cars.
The PHEV3A mission is to educate America one town (or in this case one school) at a time on getting its own energy independence back by moving away from imported oil to using home grown electrons preferably from renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydro-power. Now the "Spirit" is busy promoting plug-ins at America’s schools.
will be manufactured at the Columbus Engine Plant, with production to start during the fourth quarter of 2014. Cummins Filtration’s expertise also extends to a high-efficiency coalescing filter, for eliminating crankcase hydrocarbon emissions and oil mist, further adding to the clean-engine credentials of the ISV5.0.
