Winter is coming, and renewable heating as well as power are in the seasonal conversation. For those facing big heating bills this winter from an expected shortage of fossil natural gas and propane, the remedy is clear — renewable biogas and RNG. Companies have been developing hundreds of these facilities around the countries, it’s hard […]
Long-time ABLC presenter John Oyen brought these slides to the main stage, as we looked in the Advanced Biofuels and a suite of “safe, smart and sustainable operations through solutions that digitalize, automate and electrify industry. Turns out that 62 percent of projects face cost overruns, 79 percent face schedule delays — that’s addressable, as […]
Baby, it’s cold outside, and LanzaTech is working on a flexible Alcohol-to-Diesel process for producing drop-in, renewable diesel fuel blendstocks from biomass-derived ethanol, including cold weather uses. From the tech behind it to the latest on their jet and diesel production at Freedom Pines Biorefinery, this is one slide guide you won’t want to miss.
LanzaTech, Northwestern, University of South Florida and Georgia Institute of Technology researchers are working on the engineered reveral of the β-oxidation cycle in clostridia for the synthesis of fuels and chemicals. The objective? To develop clostridia to ferment synthesis gas produced from cellulosic biomass by established gasification tech into a range of advanced bioproducts.
Wastewater reuse has a strong case for it and ZwitterCo’s membrane products are designed for water treatment, precision separation, and product recovery in a wide range of industrial and agricultural processes. Their membranes are made using breakthrough chemistries that allow for reliable regeneration after filtering the toughest process waters and wastewaters.
BASF’s Chemicals, Materials and Industrial Solutions segments increased prices by 36% and volumes grew by 6% leading to increased sales, with earnings considerably above this time last year (yes, 2020 was a woozy in many ways). But shortages remain an issue for BASF.
Things are looking up! Novozymes raised its full-year outlook for 2021 thanks to stronger performance than expected. With double digit organic sales growth in 3 of their 5 business areas, 8 new products launched including 4 just in the third quarter, Novozymes is roaring. Get all the details on their new products, future outlook.
Strong performance amid higher energy prices, renewable products with high sales volumes and a healthy margin, and some lower volumes overall due to the scheduled Porvoo turnaround and Naantali shutdown – Peter Vanacker, Neste’s President and CEO shared the latest news and Q4 outlook that you won’t want to miss.
The National Academy of Sciences concluded that bioeconomy pathways are among the largest potential contributors to carbon drawdown, which is essential to avoiding the worst long-term impacts of climate change. The goal of a Lawrence Livermore National Lab and UC Berkeley project is to quantify the technical and economic potential of multiple, diverse bioeconomy pathways […]
How can we produce bioenergy in a manner that increases water use efficiency, lowers regional water stress, and mitigates nutrient and sediment loss? That’s the question Argonne National Lab researchers are working on with their latest water resource management for bioenergy and bioproducts project. From reclaimed water for algae biofuel to biorefinery water analysis.
