Velocys plc, a developer of smaller-scale microchannel gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology, has entered a joint venture (JV) with Waste Management, NRG Energy (NRG), and Ventech Engineers International (Ventech) to develop gas-to-liquids (GTL) plants in the United States and other select geographies.
The Board of ENVIA Energy (ENVIA) has decided to suspend operations at the Oklahoma City gas-to-liquids plant ( earlier post ) and to undertake a review of strategic alternatives in order to preserve the value inherent in the facility. The ENVIA plant uses Velocys Fischer-Tropsch technology to produce premium wax, diesel and naphtha.
The project is being funded by a joint venture (JV) between Waste Management, NRG Energy (NRG), Ventech Engineers International (Ventech) and Velocys, formed to develop a series of GTL plants in the United States and other select geographies. Earlier post.).
million to establish new geothermal energy and heat production from abandoned oil and gas wells. This work also supports the creation of new clean energy jobs, helping transition some of the oil and gas workforce to the production of renewable energy. University of Oklahoma (Norman, OK). ICE Thermal Harvesting (Houston, TX).
to purchase 170 million gallon equivalents of renewable natural gas (RNG) through 2026. RNG is a key part of UPS’ strategy to increase alternative fuel consumption to be 40% of total ground fuel purchases by 2025, supporting the logistics leader’s efforts to reduce the absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of its ground fleet 12% by 2025.
The US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) has recently made two awards to researchers to support multi-year projects on the development of thermoelectric (TE) waste heat recovery technologies. Such devices can recover some of the energy embedded in waste heat, such as that produced by exhaust gas from an engine.
The Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has selected nine new projects targeting environmental tools and technology for shale gas and coalbed methane (CBM) production. Ground Water Protection Research Foundation, Oklahoma City, Okla. The total proposed value for all selected projects is $10.2
Velocys enables modular gas-to-liquids (GTL) plants to convert unconventional, remote and problem gas into valuable liquid fuels. Southwest Airlines also recently signed an agreement with Red Rock Biofuels LLC (RRB) to purchase low carbon renewable jet fuel. Earlier post.).
BP will acquire the upstream portion of Clean Energy’s renewable natural gas business and sign a long-term supply contract with Clean Energy to support the firm’s continuing downstream renewable natural gas business. Renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel—biomethane—is produced entirely from organic waste.
UPS plans to build an additional six compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations and add 390 new CNG tractors and terminal trucks and 50 liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles to its alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet. In 2016, UPS used more than 61 million gallons of natural gas in its ground fleet, which included 4.6
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is [link] about $11 million to 20 new projects to help states and local governments to develop the infrastructure, training, and regional planning needed to help meet the demand for alternative fuel cars and trucks, including vehicles that run on natural gas, electricity, and propane. Gas Technology.
In the United States, the transportation sector accounts for two-thirds of total US oil consumption and about one-third of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrocarbon-based biofuels made from non-food feedstocks, waste materials, and algae can directly replace gasoline and other fuels.
Schematic diagram of a shale gas well following hydraulic fracture treatment, with the relative depths of local water wells shown for scale. Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) extracts natural gas by injecting a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals in short bursts at high pressure into deep underground wells.
Establish a consortium for sustained collaborations among university partners in South Dakota, Montana, and Oklahoma in the field of methane regulation in extreme environments. Among the highlights were the oxidation of mixed methane gas to liquid biofuel by Methyloferula sp , an obligately methanotrophic bacterium. 2018.02.128.
REG utilizes Bio-Synfining technology developed and patented by its Synthetic Fuels Division in Tulsa, Oklahoma. in this process is classic refining—the products are distilled into three main products: renewable hydrocarbon diesel, renewable naphtha and renewable liquefied petroleum gas.
The vehicles and infrastructure being funded include the use of natural and renewable gas, propane, ethanol, biodiesel, electricity, and hybrid technologies. New Jersey Clean Cities Coalition’s New Jersey Compressed Natural Gas Refuse Trucks, Shuttle Buses and Infrastructure. Total DOE award: $14,999,658. Total DOE award: $14,997,240.
Advanced biofuels produced through this funding are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% compared to fossil fuels. Of the $24.4 million announced today, DOE plans to invest up to $4.9 million with USDA contributing up to $19.5 FEEDSTOCK DEVELOPMENT. USDA Awards.
Javelina controls approximately sixty million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of hydrogen production through a combination of hydrogen entrained in the refineries’ wastegas that the facility processes, and hydrogen produced through a steam methane reformer process. Howard closed on the purchase of Javelina in February of this year.
Energy-Water cohort teams will develop new, energy-efficient processing technologies for industrial (particularly oil and gas) and municipal wastewater. Oregon State University (OSU) is developing a system for extracting clean irrigation water from hydraulic fracturing wastewater using low-grade solar or industrial waste heat.
Hot Shot Coanda-Stabilized Free Stream Gas Atomization (Hot CoSA) of Powders of Refractory Multi-Principle Element Alloys (RMPEA) for Extreme Environments, $250,000. High Efficiency Power-to-Gas in a Modular Hybrid Electrobioreactor, $1,000,000. Nu:Ionic (Tulsa, Oklahoma). Dry Surface Technologies (Guthrie, Oklahoma).
An additional 4 billion gallons of advanced biofuels (defined by the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50%) by 2022 is also mandated. Woody biomass, municipal waste potential. 0.3% (this is only for dedicated energy crops and woody biomass from logging waste). Regional contributions. 2.0% (mostly woody biomass).
Waste Heat Capture (2 projects). The technology seeks to combine pyrolysis oil production, stabilization, and upgrading into one process, creating the potential to reduce the demand for imported oil and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuels with biofuels. Energy Efficient Capture of CO 2 from Coal Flue Gas.
It first gasifies the feedstock to syngas (CO and H 2 ), then uses proprietary microorganisms—licensed from Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma—to convert simultaneously both CO and H 2 into ethanol. Scale up lots of times makes things better—there is more residence time to convert the gas into ethanol.
What it means for the oil and gas industry. How much oil and gas companies can save with new desalination systems. Parts of Oklahoma are hard hit by drought. Water is what enables the US to drill more oil and gas wells and to wean itself off of foreign oil and reduce vulnerability to geopolitical whims. per barrel.
The US states of Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas have entered into a bipartisan three-state partnership to establish a regional hub for development, production, and use of clean hydrogen as fuel and manufacturing feedstock.
After a brief reprieve gas is inching back up. By the way Boones plan covers: Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota. The high cost of fuel this past year seriously damaged our economy and society. The cost of fuel effects every facet of consumer goods from production to shipping costs. per barrel.
