The USDA Rural Development has selected for funding 68 study grants nationwide to determine the feasibility of renewable energy projects. The grants cover the Northeast, Central/East, Southeast (including Hawaii), West and Pacific Northwest (including Alaska). For a complete list of award recipients, please click here.
into renewable diesel in a US Department of Energy (DOE) funded biorefinery project. The pilot-scale project use both free (soluble) sugars and biomass (cellulosic) sugars from Ceres’ sweet sorghum hybrids grown in Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana and Tennessee. Amyris modifies farnesene to become renewable diesel.
million grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE). The gasifier will be integrated with Rentech’s Product Demonstration Unit (PDU) for the production of renewable synthetic fuels from biomass. The Rentech, Inc. and ClearFuels Technology Inc. Earlier post.) Earlier post.)
Converting biomass to renewable fuels via a pyrolysis pathway. The US Department of Energy has selected UOP, a Honeywell company, for negotiation of a $25 million award to build a demonstration unit in Hawaii to convert cellulosic biomass into renewable hydrocarbon transportation fuels. Imperium Renewables, and Mesa Engineering.
Premium Renewable Energy (Malaysia) Sdn. has selected Envergent Technologies LLC, a Honeywell company, to perform the engineering design for a project that will use Envergent’s RTP Rapid Thermal Processing technology ( earlier post ) to convert palm biomass to renewable heat and electricity.
The research project, funded through a grant from the Office of Naval Research, is designed to test the performance characteristics of the battery system and to demonstrate the effectiveness of battery storage technology to integrate wind energy into an electric grid.
million grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE). The grant is partially funding construction of a demonstration-scale ClearFuels biomass gasifier at Rentech’s Energy Technology Center (RETC). These drop-in fuels are expected to qualify for renewable identification numbers (RINs) as cellulosic fuels.
have executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the development of a commercial scale biorefinery facility for the production of renewable jet or diesel fuel. The renewable energy facility will be co-located with Hughes Hardwood’s wood component products manufacturing facility in Collinwood, Tennessee. Earlier post.).
The test is expected to demonstrate solutions for integration of greater levels of renewable energy onto the grid, improving capacity utilization, and reducing dependency on fossil-fuel power generation while maintaining grid performance and reliability.
Honeywell’s UOP—a major international supplier and licensor of technology for petroleum refining, gas processing, petrochemical production and major manufacturing industries—has also been an early leader in developing technologies for the production of renewable drop-in hydrocarbon fuels. Earlier post.) Hydroprocessing.
The projects are funded through the Biomass Research and Development Initiative and will help increase the availability of alternative renewable fuels and biobased products to diversify the nation’s energy resources. The following projects have been selected for awards: Cellana LLC , Kailua Kona, Hawaii, $5,521,173.
million of a $23-million grant to complete construction of a demonstration scale biomass gasifier at Rentech’s Energy Technology Center (RETC) in Colorado, and to integrate and operate it with Rentech’s Product Demonstration Unit (PDU) for the production of renewable synthetic fuels from biomass. Rentech, Inc. Earlier post.).
headquartered in Aiea, Hawaii, has signed a Cooperative Agreement with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to receive its first $7.7 million grant award to construct a biomass gasifier at Rentech’s Energy Technology Center. ClearFuels Technology, Inc., million of a $22.6 Earlier post.).
An open-access paper on their work appears in the journal Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews. This study tested the effects of depth-cycling on the growth, morphology, and chemical composition of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera, a target species for renewable biomass production. The study authors include Ignacio A.
has secured a contract to provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Hawaii Gas, the State of Hawaii’s only franchised gas utility. Republic Services, an industry leader in US recycling and non-hazardous solid waste, will be switching its California-based fleet to Redeem Renewable Natural Gas. Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
Commissioning, validation and start-up of the renewable energy demonstration facility are underway. The IBR is anticipated to produce certified renewable fuels in late 2011. Rentech, Inc. announced today that all systems required to start up its integrated bio-refinery (IBR) in Commerce City, Colorado are mechanically complete.
ClearFuels recently was selected to receive up to $23 million as a grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE) to construct a biomass gasifier at Rentech’s Energy Technology Center (RETC) in Colorado and integrate it with Rentech’s existing Product Demonstration Unit. Earlier post.)
In addition to transportation applications, hydrogen has the potential to decarbonize multiple sectors by enabling renewable, energy storage, and low carbon industrial applications. —Acting Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy David Friedman.

I began writing my Creative Greenius blog and soon earned press credentials for topics like electric vehicles and financing of renewable energy projects. So before it goes out completely forever, I’m headed for the mountains and the woods and the lake and Hawaii too. I’ve got National Parks in Oregon and Washington state to see.
However, several companies recently initiated such scale-up projects, including several major oil companies such as ExxonMobil (which a year ago announced a $600-million commitment to algae biofuels technology), Shell (with a joint venture project, Cellana, in Hawaii), and Eni (the Italian oil company, with a pre-pilot plant in Sicily).
It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. How PHEV provides Smooth Transitions from fossil fuel to renewables.
It was based in part on the Alohanet, a packet radio network developed at the University of Hawaii in the late 1960s. Six months later his initial contract with PARC expired and was not renewed. Thacker made the remark that coaxial cable is nothing but captive ether,” said Kay. “So
