Earlier post.). Lawrence P. 1751-7915.2007.00020.x.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota are proposing a novel strategy that simultaneously identifies (a) the most desirable biomass-derived chemical products for an application of interest, such as fuels, and (b) the corresponding synthesis routes. Proposed strategy for connecting automated network generation and optimization.
million ARPA-E funded project on direct solar hydrocarbon fuels ( earlier post ), University of Minnesota graduate student Janice Frias (who earned her doctorate in January) has determined the biosynthetic mechanism by which a protein (OleA) transforms fatty acids produced by bacteria into ketones, which can be cracked to make hydrocarbon fuels.
Land Rover will offer the option of diesel powertrains in two 2016 model year luxury SUVs: the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The two new luxury diesel SUVs are making their debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit and go on sale Fall 2015. seconds for gasoline V6 models. l/100 km) on the highway.
Stationary Fuel Cells and Hybrid Transit Buses Incremental Costs: The purchase of diesel-electric hybrid transit buses and stationary fuel cells for use in the statewide bus system in Connecticut. Composite body electric buses: Replace conventional diesel transit buses with 35-ft composite body electric transit buses.
However, argues a team from the University of Minnesota in an open-access paper published in the journal Energy Policy , once the “fuel market rebound effect” is factored in, RFS2 actually increases GHG emissions when all fuel GHG intensity targets specified under the act are met. for its analysis.
Presently, at Gevo’s facility in Luverne, Minnesota, Gevo fractionates grain from sustainably produced crops to produce protein and animal feed while using the residual carbohydrate portion of the grain for fermentation to produce the intermediate chemical isobutanol.

Development of Advanced Combustion Strategies for Direct Injection Heavy Duty Propane Engines to Achieve Near-Diesel Engine Efficiency. Regents of University of Minnesota. General Motors LLC.
Gevo has already produced renewable gasoline and jet fuel that meet or exceed all ASTM specifications. Other NARA members include Weyerhaeuser, Catchlight Energy, Oregon State University, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Minnesota. without the typical expression of co-products. DLA contract.
Its subsidiaries market products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol, biodiesel, olefins, polymers and intermediate chemicals, as well as base oils and asphalt. —Brian Thome, president and CEO of Edeniq. Flint Hills Resources, LLC, through its subsidiaries, is a leading refining and chemicals company.
Second, PHEVs with smaller battery packs are more likely to deliver emissions benefits and reduced gasoline consumption at lower lifetime cost compared to those with large battery packs in the short term. First, HEVs produce less emissions than conventional vehicles. —Babaee et al. Samaneh Babaee, Ajay S. Nagpure, and Joseph F.
The ATJ is derived from isobutanol produced at its commercial isobutanol plant located in Luverne, Minnesota. Gevo will supply the ATJ from its hydrocarbon plant based in Silsbee, Texas. Gevo is looking to expand its isobutanol production capabilities at the Luverne Facility to enable larger production volumes of its ATJ in the future.
Turbo-POx For Ultra Low-Cost Gasoline. The University of Minnesota will develop an ultra-thin separation. of Natural Gas into Diesel Fuel. methane found in natural gas into liquid diesel fuel. If successful, the new crop would have a lower cost of. production and increased yield of biofuels without competing. liquid fuel.
The baseline carbon intensity for gasoline in the LCFS lookup table is 99.18 gCO 2 e/MJ for diesel. The six new pathways are: Heron Lake BioEnergy , LLC (HLBE) produces ethanol from corn at a dry mill plant in Heron Lake, Minnesota. gCO 2 e/MJ for the corn ethanol, down to 10.64 gCO 2 e/MJ and 98.03
—“The Future of Vehicle Fuels and Technologies” Among the findings of the report are: New gasoline direct injection (GDI) technology offers improvements in fuel economy. SCR systems are being introduced to control the emissions of NO x from diesel engines. David Kittleson, University of Minnesota.
The transition away from gasoline and diesel vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) is going full throttle in the United States, and that includes the iconic yellow school bus. Roughly half a million school buses transport about 20 million students each school day in the United States, and nearly all those buses currently run on diesel.
