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 […]
In this presentation, we explored the challenges faced in the transition to sustainable, available, reliable, affordable feedsocks. We look at the crops getting traction, new crops developing, the role of residues, new data from the Billion Ton Report, the policy environment, carbon prices or the lack thereof and much more, including how stakeholders are coming […]
Liberation Labs was formed to address the growing fermentation capacity gap in cellular agriculture by providing the industry with the infrastructure to commercialize novel protein manufacturing at the scale and cost structure required by the market. CEO and co-founder Mark Warner presented these slides at ABLC 2024.
I have good news to share today, from Ensyn; also, from a company called Matereal that’s been bubbling below the surface for some time and is now emerged from stealth. Finally, from a worthy group called Change Chemistry that is co-organizing a meeting of interest this week with DOE leaders. I suppose that, in our […]
The new clear plastic bottle — the opportunities range beyond finding biobased alternatives to the components of conventional PET plastic — there’s the higher-performing PEF polymer to consider, which is arriving after many years of development at commercial scale, soon. What are the applications, the partners, the timelines, the competitive edge? Avantium’s Bart Van Limpt […]
Low carbon fuel standards are on the march. New states, new regulations, much to consider — what states are on the opportunity map, what carbon targets are coming, what new pathways, what is the regulatory framework going to be in the “God is in the details” department? To help sort it out, LCFC executive director […]
Turquoise hydrogen is made by the process of decomposing methane (methane pyrolysis), which can be either fossil or biological in origin. Turquoise hydrogen is considered low carbon because it creates a solid carbon (carbon black) that can easily be separated from the process. Since the carbon falls out in a solid form, there is no […]
In this presentation, we explored the challenges faced in the transition to biobased chemicals and materials. We look at the molecules getting traction, market prices, new process technologies, the policy environment, carbon prices or the lack thereof and much more, including how stakeholders and finance are coming together to support the build-out. The Digest’s Jim […]
Some days, it feels like 1968 all over again. Crisis in the Middle East, a Robert F. Kennedy running for president, assassins in the news, political upheaval in France. Russian tanks rolling in Eastern Europe. An American president eligible for re-election deciding belatedly and under pressure not to run, a VP running after not being […]
The industry newsdiaper is so SAFturated with jet fuel stories, you might have forgotten that renewable chemicals exist, and that some of them do super-absorbent things. And it’s good news that super-duper absorbents are in the news, for those of you around the world who have friends currently soiling themselves as their political leaders of […]
