Current plastics waste management and recycling approaches are limited. Recycled plastics often lower quality and value; Mechanical recycling not applicable to all polymers; and, there is little economic incentive for plastics reclamation. Can we apply expertise in biomass conversion to develop economically viable, sustainable solutions for plastic waste that go beyond conventional approaches? BOTTLE Consortium […]
Proprietary Vertimass Technology can lower costs of sustainable fuels for aircraft and light and heavy duty vehicles while providing a new route to renewable chemicals. Rapid development and deployment of novel Vertimass technology for conversion of renewable ethanol into hydrocarbons could open up new markets for ethanol and corn, enhance energy security, and reduce greenhouse […]
A very interesting technology has come to our attention, worth a serious look, it’s a new attack on an old idea, which is the production of affordable energy using s combination of 70 percent water and 30 percent ethanol, in this case using the Aquastroke engine as developed by Maymaan.
