Montauk Renewables signs LOI with European Energy to provide CO2 for e-methanol production in Texas

Green Car Congress

Rendering of EE North America Power-to-X plant. EE North America intends to construct a Power-to-X facility in Texas that would take the biogenic CO 2 from Montauk’s locations and use it in the production of e-methanol. The e-methanol would then be used to fuel vessels for maritime shipping operations.

DOE awards ~$34M to 11 projects to advance waste and algae bioenergy technology

Green Car Congress

Biomass feedstocks can be produced by municipal solid waste (MSW) streams and algae and converted into low-carbon fuels that can significantly contribute to the decarbonization of transportation sectors that face barriers to electrification, such as aviation and marine. Improve algae farming practices to increase production ($18.7

DOE announces $100M for artificial photosynthesis research to two major partnerships

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced $100 million in funding over five years for two new awards focused on advancing artificial photosynthesis for the production of fuels from sunlight. CHASE will also blend experiment with theory to understand and establish new design principles for fuels-from-sunlight systems.

SRI wins $925,000 DOE award to liquefy biomass for production of transportation fuels

Green Car Congress

Southern Research Institute (SRI) entered into a cooperative agreement with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a mild liquefaction process that will economically convert biomass to petroleum refinery-ready bio-oils. Other liquefaction processes either use severe conditions or expensive catalysts to achieve stability. Earlier post.).

NCSU team develops catalyst for thermal hybrid water-splitting and syngas generation with exceptional conversion; H2 gas and liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a highly effective new perovskite-promoted iron oxide redox catalyst for a hybrid solar-redox scheme they had proposed earlier for partial oxidation and water-splitting of methane. To further enhance this effect, they proposed a layered reverse-flow reactor concept.

Fulcrum BioEnergy demonstrates integrated process to convert MSW to jet and diesel; $4.7M DoD grant to begin plant engineering

Green Car Congress

has successfully demonstrated the conversion of municipal solid waste (MSW)—household garbage—into jet and diesel fuels. This demonstrated process adds fuel diversity to Fulcrum’s products and complements its previously demonstrated MSW-to-ethanol process. Fulcrum BioEnergy, Inc. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
