Virgin Atlantic announced the development of a low-carbon, synthetic jet fuel kerosene produced from industrial waste gases with half the carbon footprint of the standard fossil fuelalternative in partnership with LanzaTech and Swedish Biofuels. convert the resulting ethanol into a synthetic jet fuel.
via the gasification of biomass waste—into methane. Feedstocks can include more durable material such as woody biomass and wastes that are not broken down in traditional anaerobic digester plants. For heating applications using natural gas as a counterfactual, Bio-SNG offers a cost per tonne of CO 2 e abated of ~£175/te.
million announced by the FAA to help advance alternative, environmentally-friendly, sustainable sources for commercial jet fuel. LanzaTech’s proprietary gas fermentation technology enables low cost production of sustainable alcohols and chemicals from wastegas resources that are completely outside the food value chain.
ReShip project will use low-quality wood waste, chippings and unmerchantable wood left in forests after logging has occurred for feedstock for the fast pyrolysis process. ReShip aims to develop alternative sustainable sulfur free transportation fuels that will contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector.
—Shri Shrikant Madhav Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil IndianOil is India’s flagship national oil company working in across the hydrocarbon value chain, i.e., refining, pipeline transportation, production of crude oil and gas, gas marketing, and alternative energy sources. —Jimmy Samartzis, LanzaJet CEO
The MOU covers efforts in the areas of energy efficiency, renewable energy, water efficiency, fossil fuels, alternativefuels, efficient transportation technologies and fueling infrastructure, grid security, smart grid, storage, waste-to-energy, basic science research, mobile/deployable power, small modular reactor nuclear energy, and related areas.
In a vote on draft legislation , the European Parliament has backed a cap on the use of biofuels produced from starch-rich crops, sugars, oil and other crops grown on land and a speedy switchover to new biofuels from alternative sources such as seaweed and waste. of energy consumption in transport by 2020, MEPs said.
Qatar Airways, Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) and Qatar Petroleum (QP) will jointly carry out engineering, economic analysis and move into the development of renewable biojet fuel that will also look into ways for production and supply, with the support of Airbus. All of these are known as xTL fuels. Earlier post.)
Associate Professor Akshat Tanksale from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Monash University and co-corresponding author, says OME (oxymethylene ethers) are among a number of fuelalternatives that are attracting increasing attention for their net-zero carbon emitting properties.
DME produces zero soot, zero sulfur oxides (SO x ), less NO x and also significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel (especially if made from biogas). DME is a gas under ambient conditions. DME’s easy handling properties make fueling and infrastructure relatively simple and inexpensive. Earlier post.).
In June 2021, DHL Freight started piloting a Bio-LNG solution (Bio-Liquefied Natural Gas from sustainable biomass) with Shell on three haulier trucks to reduce CO 2 emissions in road freight transport for DHL’s customer Grundfos. The Bio-LNG used by Shell in the test is produced from agricultural waste.
While vehicle efficiency will be the most important and most cost-efficient way to reduce transport-emissions, biofuels will still be needed to provide low-carbon fuelalternatives for planes, marine vessels and other heavy transport modes, and will eventually provide one fifth (2.1
In California, petroleum-based fuels contribute to the largest source of carbon emissions; state policy is driving R&D to reduce petroleum use by seeking economic and technically viable low-carbon fuelalternatives derived from locally sourced California feedstocks from various waste streams.
It takes really long to form fossil fuels They are air pollutants – Combustion of fossil fuels emits greenhouse gases causes air pollution Global warming – as a result of greenhouse gas emission, atmospheric temperature increases ( how? ). 2 Methanol Methanol is another alternativefuel that can be used in vehicles.
