S&B is an integrated EPC company that provides proven expertise to solve your greatest engineering and construction challenges. As companies around the world develop initiatives to move toward a lower-carbon future, S&B is helping them design and build the facilities to turn those plans into realities. For decades we have been integral to projects geared […]
Technology is at an inflection point, technology so powerful, it’s altering society.Prevailing foundational beliefs are unraveling — and, we determining the future by design. One of the design trends is the move to modular construction — why? Fixed price, lump-sum costs. Minimal job site interruptions. Single source responsibility. Shorter schedules. Those are just a few […]
Directly converting waste CO2 emissions via microbial photosynthesis into industrial biochemicals, without the need for expensive carbon capture or separation, that are low cost and carbon-negative. That’s the promise of Phytonix solar chemicals. Company CEO Bruce Dannenberg presented these slides at ABLC Next 2022.
It’s been 11 years since we had the very first presenter on the ABLC stage to highlight these technologies, first up was electrofuels. We’ve been covering hydrogen since 2010, solar fuels since the same year, renewable DME since the days of Chemrec in 2011. In many ways, this is their hour. The drive is on […]
What is a renewable DME company like Oberon Fuels doing with propane and hydrogen industries? Well, first they harvest waste via renewable methanol or biogas to make their rDME, which can then be blended with propane, setting the stage for widespread hydrogen transport and leveraging existing distribution. Get all the latest on how rDME solves […]
Hydrogen is widely used throughout major industries such as petroleum and biofuels refining, ammonia production, and many other processes. When produced cleanly, hydrogen has the ability to help decarbonize these and other industries such as transportation and steelmaking. Accordingly, green hydrogen production has become a global priority with a projected market in excess of 600bn […]
Nearly half of all global emissions come from making products. But Origin Materials’ mission is to enable the world’s transition to sustainable materials to lower those GHG emissions. In these slides, we explore how the Origin platform can replace oil as the foundational feedstock for the materials economy and more — just as news that […]
The Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium is led by DOE as a collaborative effort among researchers from 9 National Labs. It’s Key Ideas? That biomass feedstock properties are variable and different from other commodities; and, that empirical approaches to address these issues have been unsuccessful. The FCIC uses first-principles- based science to de-risk biorefinery scale-up and deployment […]
It’s been 18 years since the Werpy and Petersen paper, Top Value Added Chemicals from Biomass —a screening for Potential Candidates from Sugars and Synthesis Gas that sent a lot of people in search of succinic acid, and about 12 years since industry CEOs started asking, why should I make a $3 fuel when I […]
NovoNutrients‘ mission is to solve two problems simultaneously: creating sustainable protein to feed a growing population, and combating climate change through innovation. The proprietary microbes grow quickly in a carbonated water solution, using minimal water and no arable land. In some places, they’ll be paid to take CO2. The bioreactor designs optimal protein production for […]
