DOE seeks input on barriers to thermochemical liquefaction conversion of biomass to drop-in transportation fuels

Green Car Congress

Thermochemical direct liquefaction pathways are unique in their ability to accept readily widely varied non-food, high-impact biomass and to produce bio-oil feedstocks that may be further processed into a range of hydrocarbons that are similar to those found in crude oil derived products, DOE notes. Solvent liquefaction (i.e.

LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

Accordingly, LanzaTech has begun look at the industrial conversion of acetic acid/acetate to lipids, and has demonstrated this. Lipids, in turn, are a proven pathway to jet, diesel and gasoline. that conversion wouldn’t actually happen in a LanzaTech bioreactor. This is now being developed further, says Burton.

DOE BETO report provides overview of current state of alternative aviation fuels; overcoming technical and commercial barriers

Green Car Congress

The report provides an overview of the current state of alternative aviation fuels, as reported in findings by recent working groups, and also presents findings from the Alternative Aviation Fuel Workshop hosted by BETO in September 2016. Unlike other liquid fuels (e.g., Catalytic hydrotreating of lipids (catalytic hydrothermolysis [CH]).
