Determining the technical feasibility of using biofuels, especially bio-oils, for marine engine use, understanding the efficacy of biofuels in marine transport, looking at the impact on fuel handling systems and impact of bio-oils blended with market heavy fuel oils (HFO), is what Oak Ridge National Lab is working on.
The Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies Model – aka GREET – can be used to address impacts and conduct life cycle analyses of biofuels and bioproducts. Check out Argonne National Laboratory’s BETO Peer Review presentation on how it works, why it’s important, and more.
The IPCC forecast seen below tells the tale of how the next 50 years will play out in climate action. There’s going to be a demand to remove 50 gigatons of carbon emissions through abatement (wind, solar, renewable fuels, energy efficiency, and so forth), and 20 gigatons per year through direct CO2 and methane removal. […]
Here’s the latest on energy efficient biomass drying and torrefaction equipment which uses 50% less energy than traditional technologies and reduces total supply chain costs (transport, storage, footprint), with a cost per gigajoule equal or better than for white pellets. Yilkins’ tech and equipment also show advantages as a feedstock for gasification processes.
In Florida, The Daily Digest announced that the Advanced Bioeconomy Leadership Conference (ABLC 2021) will be held October 27-29, 2021 at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco, and outlined the agenda, themes and announced a first wave of event speakers. More about ABLC The event website, agenda and conference details including registration and the 2 […]
You’ve probably seen the IATA Tech Roadmap and ICAO’s goals for aviation’s CO2 emissions to decrease, but how do we get there? Check out this illuminating slide guide from BETO’s Peer Review where Sandia National Labs shows us the opportunities, the pathways, progress and outcomes for advancing biojet fuel, and more.
By Alexander Laska, Transportation Policy Advisor of Third Way’s Climate and Energy Program Special to The Digest Aviation is responsible for a growing portion of transportation emissions. As air travel begins to bounce back post-COVID, we need to ensure the industry comes back stronger and cleaner than it was before. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, one of […]
Take a look at reducing carbon intensity of ethanol plants using innovative modernization techniques in this illuminating slide guide from Shrikant Rathi, the general manager (Americas) for Praj. Shrikant shares how to maximize your margins, the latest on evaporative distillation for fuel ethanol production, alcohol vapor recompression, and more.
Did you know that adding plant substrate to some algae strains (not all!) can result in improved biomass and/or lipid production? That’s what Amanda Barry from Sandia National Labs reported in this slide guide on their investigation of top contender algae strains for large-scale biofuel production. See how scale up and optimization of mixotrophic growth […]
The Competitive Edge: H24US Corp Q: What was the reason for founding your organization – what was the open niche you saw that could be addressed with a new product or service? What was the problem, or gap, or opportunity? The founders have a track record of dedication to clean energy. Hydrogen’s promise of net […]
