CSIRO and partners to test Direct Injection Carbon Engine to reduce brown coal emissions by up to 50%

Green Car Congress

APRIL 28, 2014

DICE involves converting coal or biomass into a water-based slurry (called micronised refined carbon, MRC) that is directly injected into a large, specially adapted diesel engine. The process has very high conversion efficiency >97% (LCA); he fuel choice determines the carbon footprint.

The UW team is the first to try converting the entire young tree—leaves, bark and stems—into bio oil and ethanol using two separate processes. We have the environmental incentives to produce fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, but right now, they aren’t enough to compete with low oil prices.

All volumes, except for volumes of biomass-based diesel, are in gallons of ethanol-equivalent. The consumption mandate for biomass-based diesel is to be met on a biodiesel-equivalent basis. Currently, no commercially viable biorefineries exist for converting cellulosic biomass to fuel.

Accenture Reports Identifies 12 Disruptive Technologies Most Likely to Transform Supply and Demand of Transport Fuels and Cut Emissions Within Next 10 Years

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 10, 2009

“Betting on Science – Disruptive Technologies in Transport Fuels” selected 12 innovations in electrification and genetically modified biofuels, as well as existing fuel sources that will have the most immediate impact on emissions and on the gasoline and diesel markets. These include: Synthetic biology: sugarcane-to-diesel.

You go a mixture of 8 to 10, that’s gasoline, you go a mixture of 16 to 20, that’s diesel, you go a million it becomes polyethylene, you go 50 mil it becomes Kevlar and so on and so forth. The oxidative coupling of methane converts methane into ethane and ethylene (C 2 hydrocarbons). The OCM reaction. Non-reducible.

Very broadly, they found that an LCFS would buffer the economy against global oil price spikes, trim demand for petroleum, and lessen upward pressure on gas prices. Set a target of reducing the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel by 10 to 15 percent by 2030. Create separate fuel pools for gasoline and diesel.
