The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to Alcohol Spray and Hydrogen Jet Experiments and Modeling

July 21, 2025 | Jim Lane

This project supports off-road engine decarbonization via methanol and hydrogen, emphasizing injection challenges. Methanol experiments reveal significant plume collapse and accelerated inter-plume regions under flash-boiling, with slow evaporation causing potential wall wetting. Hydrogen jet studies show complex shockwave structures and substantial local cooling. These findings highlight key difficulties for CFD modeling and injector optimization. The […]

The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to SAF

July 20, 2025 | Jim Lane

Global planned capacity for Renewable Diesel (RD), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and Dimethyl Ether (DME) reached 23.699 billion units by June 2024, a 3% increase. Key drivers include RFS RVOs and Net Zero targets. A significant development is California’s withdrawal of its Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) waiver request, creating uncertainty for fleet electrification. Feedstock affordability […]

The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to Feedstocks and Advanced Agriculture

July 17, 2025 | Jim Lane

Demand for Sustainable, Affordable, Reliable, Available (SARA) feedstock is sky-high, especially for SAF, but it’s tough to find. Competition and pushback exist for conventional crops, necessitating more residues, like forest waste. Positively, new technologies for waste-to-fuels and intermediate crops are arriving, with new crops becoming available and marginal lands being utilized. The 2023 Billion-Ton Report […]

The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to Renewable Chemicals & Materials

July 16, 2025 | Jim Lane

Consumer demand for biobased materials is strong, and innovation is rampant with first commercial products becoming more common. Chemicals and materials offer higher margins suitable for early-stage companies. However, the sector faces significant headwinds, including a lack of mandates or tax credits, immature capital markets, slow adoption by formulators, high costs, and scarce production capacity. […]

The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to Syngas for Recarbonization of Industry

July 15, 2025 | Jim Lane

Hard-to-electrify industries require green carbon via REcarbonization, with biomass a sustainable source. Green syngas from lignocellulosic biomass through gasification and pyrolysis is a platform chemical for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), Green Methanol, and Green Hydrogen. Challenges include scaling FT SAF via green syngas economically/technically, high CAPEX for methanol, and complex biomass pre-treatment and syngas cleanup […]

The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to Renewable Diesel

July 14, 2025 | Jim Lane

Global planned RD/SAF capacity is rising, supported by international mandates like RFS and ReFuelEU Aviation, with accelerating deployment and diverse technologies. Feedstock is generally affordable and available. Major headwinds include slower adoption than goals, a “mandate lite” market, and forecast confusion. A significant headwind is “cost hysteria,” as SAF is much more expensive, with Spanish […]
