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.).

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 selected projects include: Geothermix, LLC (Austin, TX) Geothermix will harvest waste heat from existing oil and gas wells in Texas to generate commercial quantities of geothermal electricity. University of Oklahoma (Norman, OK). ICE Thermal Harvesting (Houston, TX).
Illinois Basin (Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Tennessee): Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois aims to lead a project to evaluate the domestic occurrence of strategic elements in coal, coal-based resources and waste streams from coal use. DOE Funding: $1,499,987. Other: University of Kansas Center for Research Inc.
The new funds will be used to build upon the company’s recent successes and maintain commercial momentum, helping to further accelerate adoption of Velocys technology following the start of construction of its first commercial project.
Hydrocarbon-based biofuels made from non-food feedstocks, waste materials, and algae can directly replace gasoline and other fuels. University of Oklahoma (up to $4 million). DOE is continuing to pursue the development of these renewable biofuels, with the goal of producing cost-competitive drop-in biofuels at $3 per gallon by 2017.
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. Johnson, Bhupinder S.
A new NSF-funded study by authors from Yale Law School, the University of Oklahoma and George Washington Law School presents correlational and experimental evidence showing that cultural cognition also shapes individuals’ beliefs about the existence of scientific consensus. —Dan Kahan.
Yenkin-Majestic Paint Corporation (Columbus, OH) up to $1,800,000: to demonstrate, at scale, the operation of a dry fermentation system that uses pre- and post-consumer food wastes from supermarkets and restaurants, waste sawdust, grass, leaves, stumps and other forms of wood waste to produce biogas, heat, and electrical power.
REG utilizes Bio-Synfining technology developed and patented by its Synthetic Fuels Division in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Increased cetane aids self-ignition of fuel and allows for easier starting, smoother running engines and reliable operation.
Ground Water Protection Research Foundation, Oklahoma City, Okla. This project will evaluate the potential for combining and treating two waste streams (flowback water and acid mine drainage) for reuse as a frac fluid, and will also develop novel viscosity modifiers for water high in total dissolved solids.
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. University of Oklahoma, An Innovative Zero-Liquid Discharge Intermediate-Cold-Liquid Eutectic-Freeze Desalination System – $608,333.
Woody biomass, municipal waste potential. Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Virginia. 0.3% (this is only for dedicated energy crops and woody biomass from logging waste). 2.0% (mostly woody biomass).
Waste water disposal from oil and gas production, including shale gas recovery, typically involves injection at relatively low pressures into large porous aquifers that are specifically targeted to accommodate large volumes of fluid.
UPS currently operates 31 CNG fueling stations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, and West Virginia and runs CNG vehicles in 38 states in the U.S. In 2016, UPS invested $100 million in CNG fueling stations and vehicles.
Renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel—biomethane—is produced entirely from organic waste. as well as Clean Energy’s share of two facilities under construction in Oklahoma City, Okla. The assets which BP will acquire are Clean Energy’s existing biomethane production facilities in Canton, Mich. and North Shelby, Tenn.
Javelina controls approximately sixty million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of hydrogen production through a combination of hydrogen entrained in the refineries’ waste gas that the facility processes, and hydrogen produced through a steam methane reformer process.
gas-fueled school buses and solid waste collection vehicles and develop a. Oklahoma, will recommend building codes to accommodate alternative. The Pennsylvania Partnership for Promoting Natural Gas Vehicles project. will provide education and outreach to municipal and school district. Gas Technology. INCOG Tulsa Area. Clean Cities.
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. Sorted waste (construction and demolition).
Louis, San Antonio/Austin, and Oklahoma City as well as a refueling corridor along I-10 in Louisiana (New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lake Charles). A CNG fueling station will be constructed at 2 of the recipient’s, Allied Waste, locations. The Treasure Valley Clean Cities Coalition’s Idaho Petroleum Reduction Leadership Project.
This same interview in which Chu warns about the possibility of 90% of the Sierra snowpack disappearing and taking the entire agriculture industry of California along with it, is concluded by a quote from the discredited and shameful global warming denier poster boy, Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, infamous for calling global warming a hoax.
Waste Heat Capture (2 projects). General Motors will develop a shape memory alloy (SMA) energy recovery device that will convert waste heat from car engines to electricity. WASTE HEAT CAPTURE. More than 60% of all US energy lost is in the form of waste heat from power plants, industrial processes, and vehicles.
Photo: Green Li-ion Green Li-ion has launched North America’s first commercial-scale plant to process unsorted battery waste, or “black mass,” from used lithium-ion batteries.
Parts of Oklahoma are hard hit by drought. Let me put it this way: the ‘permanent’ desalination plants are discharging 50-65% of what’s rejected in the process in the form of a waste stream of highly concentrated brine liquid-directly into the oceans. What it means immediately is higher food prices across the US. per barrel.
