USDA awarded the first loan guarantee in 2009 to Sapphire Energy in NewMexico. INEOS New Plant Bioenergy, located in Vero Beach, Fla., Earlier post.).
An alliance of industry, academic and government organizations has formed to commercialize technologies that will utilize concentrated solar energy to convert waste CO 2 into synthetic fuels. and demonstrations will continue both at Sandia’s facilities in NewMexico and at a power plant project site in Bakersfield, Calif.
San Juan River-Raton-Black Mesa Basin (Arizona, Colorado and NewMexico): NewMexico Institute of Mining and Technology plans to determine the rare earth elements and critical minerals resource potential in coal and related stratigraphic units in the San Juan and Raton basins in NewMexico.
In addition, they will jointly license and market the technology into an expanded list of industries, including algae, municipal solid waste, and farm waste, in order to upgrade other biomass sources into energy. Today, this Green Crude Farm is operating year-round and producing barrels of crude oil daily.
The relationship will help spur production of Joule Sunflow-E and Sunflow-D, including fuel testing and validation, lifecycle analysis and support for Joule’s SunSprings demonstration facility located in Hobbs, NewMexico, which began operations this month. Earlier post.). It is the ideal sustainable fuel platform for Audi to support.
Joule has pioneered a CO 2 -to-fuel production platform using engineered bio-catalysts continuously to convert waste CO 2 directly into renewable fuels such as ethanol or hydrocarbons for diesel, jet fuel and gasoline. This cleared the catalyst for commercial use at the company’s demonstration plant in Hobbs, NewMexico.
A deployment of this scale would generate up to 625 million gallons (~15 million barrels) of ethanol or 375 million gallons (~9 million barrels) of diesel per year, while consuming about 4 million tonnes of industrial waste CO 2 annually in the process. —Paul Snaith, President and CEO of Joule.
Joule says Lea County ideally meets it requirements for production, including high solar insolation, access to non-potable water and waste CO 2. The process is closed and uses industrial waste CO 2 at concentrations 50–100 times higher than atmospheric. Joule Unlimited, Inc.,
Joule’s Helioculture platform uses engineered microorganisms directly and continuously to convert sunlight and waste CO 2 into infrastructure-ready fuels, including ethanol and hydrocarbons (n-alkanes) that serve as the essential chemical building blocks for diesel. Audi is testing different blends of the e-fuels as well as 100% fuel.
HF Sinclair selected Topsoe as a technology provider for the production of renewable fuels at three facilities: Sinclair, Wyoming; Cheyenne, Wyoming; and Artesia, NewMexico. These facilities utilize Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology for the conversion of waste and bio-feedstock into renewable diesel.
The new USDA loan guarantee is part of a larger effort to produce advanced biofuels in every region of the country. USDA has funded 8 additional biorefineries that are using feedstocks such as agriculture residue, woody biomass, municipal solid waste, and algae in states including Michigan, Oregon, Florida, Nevada, and NewMexico.
Super-emitters are facilities, equipment, and other infrastructure, typically in the fossil-fuel, waste, or agriculture sectors, that emit methane at high rates. This image shows a methane plume 2 miles (3 kilometers) long that NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission detected southeast of Carlsbad, NewMexico.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) will support Novus Energy’s new biorefinery project in Boardman, Ore. The Novus plant will process agricultural waste into fuel, natural gas, organic fertilizer and other bio-based products. Novus is working with an Oregon lender, Old West Federal Credit Union, to finance the project.
This clears the catalyst for commercial use at the company’s demonstration plant in Hobbs, NewMexico. Solar fuels company Joule has developed a portfolio of bio-catalysts engineered to consume and convert continuously industrial waste CO 2 emissions directly to transportation fuels. cerevisiae , E. reesei , etc.).
The waste heat given off during methanation is used as process energy in the adjacent biogas plant, significantly increasing overall efficiency. In parallel with the e-gas plant in Werlte, Audi also operates a research facility in Hobbs, NewMexico, USA, for the production of e-ethanol and e-diesel in collaboration with Joule.
Joule has commissioned its first SunSprings demonstration plant in Hobbs, NewMexico ( earlier post ), where the company will prove its scalable platform for solar fuel production using a fraction of the land and capital investment required for algae-derived or agricultural biofuels.
To improve fuel efficiency, advanced combustion engines are being designed to minimize the amount of waste heat in the exhaust. As a result, future generations of exhaust after-treatment catalysts must perform at temperatures that are 100 °C lower than current catalysts.
Because the process consumes waste CO 2 emissions, the resulting fuels can enable carbon-neutral transportation by supplanting their petroleum-derived counterparts. The company operates from Bedford, Massachusetts and The Hague, The Netherlands with production operations in Hobbs, NewMexico.
These efforts include fuel testing and validation, lifecycle analysis and support for Joule’s production facility in Hobbs, NewMexico, where demonstration-scale production of ethanol is underway. Joule and Audi formed a partnership in 2011 to accelerate the development and commercialization of CO 2 -neutral fuels.
The selected projects support DOE’s investment in the development and production of biofuels and innovation and growth in agricultural industries and will help meet the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Grand Challenge goal of producing 35 billion gallons of low-GHG emission SAF made from domestic biomass and waste resources annually by 2050.
the technology reduced the moisture to a level that the waste coal can now be marketed commercially. Waste coal slurry went through the centrifuge at a rate of 30 gallons per minute and was dewatered to 13-19% moisture with coal recovery greater than 97%. Roe-Hoan Yoon. as part of a license agreement with Virginia Tech. Roe-Hoan Yoon.
Early last month, Agriculture Secretary Vilsack announced that USDA had issued a conditional commitment on a $105-million loan guarantee to Fulcrum Sierra Biofuels, LLC to build a biorefinery in Nevada to produce renewable jet fuel from municipal solid waste. Sapphire Energy has paid off its USDA loan for a plant now operating in NewMexico.
The company operates from Bedford, Massachusetts and The Hague, The Netherlands with production operations in Hobbs, NewMexico. Red Rock Biofuels LLC will refine waste biomass residues into high value, low carbon renewable jet and diesel fuels, utilizing waste forest residues as a feedstock at its Lakeview, Oregon facility.

intends to develop a modular, sorbent-based air separation unit (ASU) for oxygen production to support low-cost hydrogen production from gasification of biomass and/or wastes. The team intends to address the requirement of advancing modular air separation to support modular gasification-based hydrogen production.
The next steps for the Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative are DOE-issued requests for qualifications (RFQs) to lease land at four additional sites: the Hanford site in Washington; the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in NewMexico; the Nevada National Security Site in Nevada; and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina.
Another trick that can be done with a heat pump (in cabin heating mode, anyway) is to capture the waste heat from the traction inverter, motor, etc, extending the temperature range over which it can operate without resorting to a backup source such as a resistance heater.
This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. Another project is underway in Hobbs (NewMexico, USA). The position of this pressure point varies depending on the charge state. It heats and cools the interior quickly and effectively.
