Biomass derived sugars can be used by engineered microbes to make fuels and chemicals – but Invizyne is looking at alternative methods to improve cellulosic utilization and conversion. Check out their BETO presentation highlighting their tech that uses only enzymes (cell-free) instead of the whole microbes and how it can improve conversion – 20x higher […]
Biofuel blendstocks is what it’s all about for Dimitris Assanis from SUNY and Ofei Mante from RTI International. Check out their BETO presentation on bioblendstock oils rich in naphthenes produced using catalytic fast pyrolysis and hydrotreating pathway and evaluated for the first time as a blendstock fuel for engines currently running on No.2 diesel.
From pilot plant to scale-up demo and finally commercialization, Mark Warner shares this illuminating slide guide on what the opportunities and bottlenecks are for commercial fermentation. What’s impeding fermentation’s full potential in the bioeconomy? What’s available now? What’s the forecasted fermentation demand? Are we commercial-ready?
BioCognito’s Nathan Danielson (also consultant to the National Corn Growers Association) looks at the use of corn as a platform for a host of new chemicals and how the Consider Corn Open Innovation Challenge will unfold to catalyze innovation and investment in this illuminating slide guide from DigestConnect last week.
If you missed last week’s trio of experts from renowned NexantECA, led by ABLC Wolfpack’s own Steve Slome, at DigestConnect, here’s your chance to get the inside look at using CO2, waste plastics and existing infrastructure and equipment to shift to a circular economy. It’s all about utilizing what we already have to make what […]
Perennial grass miscanthus as an energy crop has advanced into high biomass yielding varieties and NC State University is working with Novozymes, Iogen and Oak Ridge National Lab on evaluating new miscanthus varieties and improving sustainability within the overall miscanthus biomass supply chain.
Everyone wants to reduce the price of biofuels – and a team from Texas A&M, USDA, AgriLife Research, Mississippi State University and others are working on improving the economics and environmental sustainability of biomass sorghum and energycane production in the southeast U.S. Find out how, their latest research and outcomes.
Why algae? With biofuel yield 8-13 times larger than corn, well, why not! We took key slides from the 100+ slide deck from this year’s U.S. DOE BETO presentation on the latest goings ons with algae, program goals, portfolio and projects, progress, future plans, and more. Here’s your chance to check out the vital highlights.
Bioenergy switchgrass feedstock – can it be the next-generation feedstock we’ve been looking for in the Midwest? University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is looking at perennial bioenergy feedstock production on marginal croplands across geographic locations in the Midwest. What did they find? What had the highest-yield? How did on-farm field scale production on marginal land […]
Greenlane Renewables made headlines this week when it reported record revenue growth of over 300% in Q1 2021 over Q1 2020. Ok, 317% to be exact. If that’s not impressive enough, check out this slide guide to get the latest info on this biogas company that produces low-carbon and carbon-negative renewable natural gas from organic […]
