This project funded by the US Department of Energy and led by NREL’s Josh Schaidle aims to Guide existing and future research and development efforts by defining key technical challenges, risks, cost/carbon intensity drivers, and future technical targets for utilizing renewable electricity and CO2to improve biorefinery economics and carbon utilization. The team hopes to develop […]
How do we utilize CO2 with cheaper renewable energy? What products can we make? Those are the questions explored in this project funded by the US Department of Energy’s BETO office and led by Jonathan Lo at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Among the differentiators: Liquid C1 compounds as medium formicrobial upgrading. Diversity of potential […]
The project goal is to develop the natural formatotroph, C.necator, as a robust microbial chassis for efficient formate conversion to value-added products in support of CO2 capture. The project is funded by the US Department of Energy and is led by Christopher Johnson of the National renewable ENergy Laboratory.
These slides were presented by Digest editor Jim Lane as part of the ABLC CONNECT episode on Feedstocks and the Bioeconomy Supply-Chain. Here, we explore the available volumes, prices, and distribution of key existing feedstock types, and we look at the R&D pipeline to see what’s coming in terms of new energy crops, cover crops […]
To develop, innovate, and reduce costs of CO2 Separations using enzyme-based technology to accelerate CO2 capture alternative solvents with low regeneration energy. That’s the goal of thisproject funded by the US Department of Energy’s BETO office and led by NREL’s Min Zhang.
By producing valuable products out of CO2, this project will incentivize CCU to realize carbon circular economy opportunities. That’s the promise of this project funded by the BETO Office at the US Department of Energy and led by NREL’s Michael Resch. The key differentiators? Utilization of inexpensive feedstocks to produce products with low carbon intensity, […]
A deep dive into the potentiality of sorghum, as presented recently at ABLC Connect by company president Sean Voigt.
It’s a legendary petroleum company that began life (we kid you not) at Standard Oil of Iowa and co-founded Saudi Aramco, the world;’s largest company — it’s latest acquisition is all renewable, all domestic, in fact it’s the standard in Iowa, Renewable Energy Group. So, once again, Iowa Standard, we think. Here are the markets, […]
This week on ABLC CONNECT, we looked at the world of Advanced ethanol – markets, players, technologies, policy. 2G ethanol, sugarcane, ethanol as an intermediate, and advanced yield opportunities. We were fortunate to be joined by two leaders in the field, Dave Rubenstein, CEO of California Ethanol+Power, and Blue Biofuels CEO Ben Slager. Here are […]
Novozymes – from the last syllable you can guess at their dominance in the world od creating disruptive yields through enzyme innovation — but did you know of their increasingly strong technology in yeast? What next for this company as it diversifies? All the markets, technologies, sources of revenues, trends, lines of business.
