Grain sorghum is considered a lower carbon feedstock than corn.
Some of the features included in our technology can be traced back to the nineties when we designed and built several first-of-its-kind slurry-based coal liquefaction and supercritical CO 2 extraction demo units. Cellulosic bio-alcohols – thermochemical conversion of renewable resources into liquid fuels.
The use of electricity to generate hydrogen is considered potentially to be a key technology for the storage of surplus energy from renewable sources (e.g., The resulting waste heat could be used to generate the water vapor needed for high-temperature electrolysis. an e-gas system).
Should the lab and pilot work prove successful and scalable, they will place a demo plant in Malaysia, Burton said. Part of the challenge is locating sufficient quantities of hydrogen to enable large scale use of the CO 2 in waste gases.
Volpe Center, to accelerate commercial availability of alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) renewable drop-in aviation fuel. LanzaTech’s proprietary gas fermentation technology enables low cost production of sustainable alcohols and chemicals from waste gas resources that are completely outside the food value chain. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
Global Bioenergies has developed a conversion process based on fermentation for renewable resources (residual sugars, agricultural and forestry waste) into isobutene, one of the petrochemical building blocks that can be converted into ingredients for cosmetics, gasoline, kerosene, LPG and plastics.
In 2017, engineers from Achates presented a paper (2017-01-0638) at the SAE World Congress (WCX 17) describing the development of a 55% brake thermal efficiency (BTE) commercial heavy-duty opposed-piston engine without the use of a waste heat recovery system or turbocompounding. Zermeno, R.,
Renewable Energy Institute International (REII), Toledo’s Red Lion Bio-Energy , the University of Toledo, Midwest Terminals/Port of Toledo, SolarTurbines/Caterpillar, and other partners are working to build a biomass-to-liquids demonstration plant in South Toledo, Ohio.
E-fuels offer a way to expand the carbon-neutral transport fuel pool beyond biomass-based renewable fuels to replace fossil fuels in existing internal combustion engines. Power-to-Liquids technologies are on their way to commercialization in scale.
Salvaged mining waste also sequesters CO 2 Phoenix Tailings’ senior research scientist Rita Silbernagel explains how mining waste contains useful metals and rare earth elements and can also be used as a place to store carbon dioxide. Emily Waltz Mining leaves behind piles of waste after the commercially viable material is extracted.
The California Energy Commission is issuing a solicitation ( GFO-17-901 ) to provide up to $3 million in funding for innovative, pre-commercial low-carbon fuel production processes that result in the development of bio-oil as an intermediate fuel with wide-scale adoption potential used for renewable jet fuel production.
an advanced renewable fuels and biochemicals company, has harvested 12- to 15-foot tall biomass sorghum grown in Central California that was produced using proprietary seed genetics from Nexsteppe , a provider of optimized sorghum feedstock solutions.
