The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Ensyn
Ensyn’s current focus is on low-carbon fuels, including low-carbon heating and cooling solutions for institutional and industrial customers and low-carbon feedstock solutions for petroleum refineries for the production of renewable transportation fuels. Ensyn Chairman Robert Graham presented these slides at ABLC Next 2023.
The Three Musketeers, LanzaTech, Ensyn, Linde unveil SAF game-changer
At ABLC Next, news arrived that Ensyn, Linde Corp and LanzaTech have formed an alliance develop and implement the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel other renewable fuels and a range of useful materials from cellulosic biomass including non-food plant material – primarily wood and wood residues. Reminds us of the Three Musketerres — all for […]
The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Feedstock Preprocessing
A recent DOE project with the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium aims to develop science-based design and operation principles informed by TEA/LCA that result in predictable, reliable, and scalable performance of preprocessing unit operations. The investigators aim to develop design principles for various working envelopes of critical material attributes and critical process parameters for corn stover, forest […]
HEARD ON THE FLOOR AT ABLC: BioVeritas takes a giant leap towards commercialization
ABLC is buzzing about BioVeritas, which tipped this morning that it has initiated the second phase of Front-End-Loading (FEL-2) for its first commercial production facility, which is targeted for commissioning in 2026. If you are an engineer of the physical world, probably enough said right there. You’d already know that FEL-2 is the Rubicon, stepping […]
The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Feedstock Material Handling
A recent DOE project with the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium analyzed a primary challenge in the design of a biorefinery — — the storage, transport, and reactor feeding of the biomass feedstocks, as material handling/feeding is prone to process upsets such as jamming and clogging, resulting in increased downtime and ultimately higher costs. The project aims […]
The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Feedstock Variability
A recent DOE project with the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium analyzed the initial distribution of feedstock critical material attributes (CMAs) and strategies to manage this variability. Understanding key sources of biomass variability (e.g., growth conditions, harvest conditions, storage degradation) to identify and quantify CMA distributions that propagate across unit operations to inform cost-effective management of variability. […]
Alder Renewables unlocks carbon-negative SAF via miscanthus breakthrough
By Tim Obitts, CEO & Dr. Derek Vardon, CTO, Alder Renewables Special to The Digest Tl;dr: Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced from miscanthus Alder Renewable Crude (ARC) can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 110% compared to conventional fossil jet fuel.* A purpose-grown energy crop, miscanthus can store roughly half of the carbon it removes from […]
The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Hydrogen & Derivatives
This week on the Digest webinar stage, we looked at The Next Chapter for Hydrogen and Derivative; my guests were Muhammed Islam, Clinton Johnson and Blane Vincent, all vice-presidents at S&B. It was, I believe, the strongest webinar and presentation deck I’ve yet seen on hydrogen and its prospects. I urge you to take a […]
EPA Opens apps for $4.6B in Climate Grants for States, Municipalities, Tribes and Territories
By Aaron L. Szabo, Nick Weber, Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP Special to The Digest Last month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) announced $4.6 billion in availability for grants under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program. The CPRG program was established by Section 60114 of the […]
