The project goal is to develop the natural formatotroph, C.necator, as a robust microbial chassis for efficient formate conversion to value-added products in support of CO2 capture. The project is funded by the US Department of Energy and is led by Christopher Johnson of the National renewable ENergy Laboratory.
We’ll keep warning the industries of the bioeconomy until we get the message through so clearly that no one is left in any doubt,. The grand journey, the quest for sustainable fuels, chemicals and materials, will utterly fail if the industry does not work harder to address its Achilles Hell, which is biomass itself. Not […]
These slides were presented by Digest editor Jim Lane as part of the ABLC CONNECT episode on Feedstocks and the Bioeconomy Supply-Chain. Here, we explore the available volumes, prices, and distribution of key existing feedstock types, and we look at the R&D pipeline to see what’s coming in terms of new energy crops, cover crops […]
Today we have a take of Two Fries. The first, the region of Northwest Germany known as East Frisia and where the port city of Emden is located. The other is a story of fryer oil, and a new partnership to expand distribution in restaurant truck fleets. So, German Fries and French Fries, today in […]

They have discovered that in carbon as in cholesterol, lower is better, less is more, and I might add that God is in the details. Always in the bioeconomy as in the game of CLUE, when someone murders the carbon intensity, everyone’s next question is Whodunnit? In this case, you needn’t look for Miss Scarlet […]
To develop, innovate, and reduce costs of CO2 Separations using enzyme-based technology to accelerate CO2 capture alternative solvents with low regeneration energy. That’s the goal of thisproject funded by the US Department of Energy’s BETO office and led by NREL’s Min Zhang.
By producing valuable products out of CO2, this project will incentivize CCU to realize carbon circular economy opportunities. That’s the promise of this project funded by the BETO Office at the US Department of Energy and led by NREL’s Michael Resch. The key differentiators? Utilization of inexpensive feedstocks to produce products with low carbon intensity, […]
