Whether it is algae oil, protein meal, food ingredients, feed ingredients, fuels or consumer products, this project led by GAI aim to capture CO2 for algae cultivation, harvesting and processing. Dave Hazlebeck of Global Algae Innovations showed these slides at the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s Carbon Management Project Review Meeting in August.
This Project aims to develop technologies to increase algae productivity and reduce culturing costs, In addition, it aims to develop algae, refinee processing and verify content for nutraceuticals and to incorporate feed blends. It’s a part of the search for CO2 reduction, and Fred Harrington of Helios-NRG showed these slides at the National Energy Technology […]
What can you actually make from CO2 that’s valuable, and more permanent? The goal of this project is to develop technology to convert CO2 to valuable products to partially offset carbon capture costs from the utility and industrial sectors. Also, to contribute to the production of a formic acid at a lower cost than is currently […]
Cellulosic bioenergy crop production is a nascent industry in the U.S. and has the potential to supply up to 5% of U.S. energy demand while achieving increased carbon reduction. The Southeast U.S. is ideally suited for a cellulosic industry due to plentiful land, ample rainfall, and a pressing need for agricultural diversification. The goal of […]
The goal of this project is to develop productive, cost-effective and sustainable warm-season perennial bioenergy feedstock production systems on marginal croplands across geographic locations in the Midwest. The University of Illinois (at Champaign-Urbana)’s D. K. Lee leads the team of researchers.
Harvesting and transportation makes up 40 –60% of the delivered cost of SRWC and are an important source of GHG emissions. Harvesting systems are not well developed — throughput decreases up to 65% from harvester to short term storage. Changes in biomass quality and impacts of pretreatment techniques are not well understood. And most of […]
This continuing Project with DOE BETO regarding improved logistics builds on advances in two previous High Tonnage projects (Pine at AU; Switchgrass at Genera). The project goal is to evaluate a state-of-the-art biomass merchandizing and processing system to identify sources of variation along the supply chain of multiple, high-impact biomass sources, and to develop practices […]
Opal is an end-to-end RNG provider to the transportation market, currently at Scale, with substantial embedded growth opportunity. The company has 5 operating RNG & 19 renewable power plants, operates 75 stations across 18 states, has 7 projects under construction, and 15 projects in development. CEO Adam Comora recently shared this company overview with investors and stakeholders.
CO2 is the ubiquitous feedstock, available from a range of point sources, as well as in the atmosphere. It’s the only feedstock measured in gigatons. Domestic biorefineries emit a very pure CO2 wastestream, and represent an early opportunity for deployment of CO2 utilization technologies. But how do we use it? NREL’s Jack Ferrell leads a […]
The overall goal of this project is to evaluate performance of new miscanthus varieties and improved sustainability within the overall miscanthus biomass supply chain. Specifically, to identify energy crop production that is dependable, high-yielding, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable. Also, provide empirical data on yieldsand environmental effectsof bioenergy crops associated with different geographic locations, soil types […]
