This advancement is crucial for the broader adoption of bio-oil as a renewable energy source. Integrated Bioenergy Systems Combining biomass pyrolysis with other bioenergy technologies, such as anaerobic digestion and gasification, creates integrated bioenergy systems that maximize resource utilization and energy ...
In view of the excessive use of fossil energy which damage to the air and vegetation, a renewable bioenergy draws more and more attention. Biomass energy is energy generated by living or once-living organisms. The most common biomass materials used for energy are plants, such as corn and soy. Plants capture the energy from sun by the process of photosynthesis, and then by passing through ...
In the end of February 2020 our technicians has made the strat of the new BioBANG unit on the biogas plant of BioEnergie Rohr GbR in Freystadt, ...
In this project Umweltcluster Bayern collaborates with partners from the scientific sector as well as companies and the Bioenergy Cluster in Cali. Together, they will evaluate the potential of the energetic use of residues from agriculture as well as from the food industry in Valle del Cauca. Project phases The project is based on 4 pillars: Project management and ...
Clean Methane Systems and Qualvista have succesfully completed a four-month trial of next generation biogas and siloxane monitoring technology at the City of Gresham WWTP. Clean Methane Systems (http://methanesys.com) is the sales and service partner of Qualvista in North America. ...
On August 6, 2019, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) announced four grants aiming to expand biofuel access and production to advance the state’s renewable energy efforts. Awarded to four recipients by MDA’s Agricultural Growth, Research and Innovation (AGRI) Program, the grants total more than $500,000. One Bioenergy/Biochemical Pilot Project Grant was awarded, providing ...
On July 10, 2019, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a model that predicts commercial biocrude outcomes from algae hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) significantly more accurately than previous analyses. “Techno-economic uncertainty quantification of algal-derived biocrude via hydrothermal ...
On April 4, 2019, DOE EERE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) announced the appearance of 23 journal articles from some of the nation’s leading biomass experts in the journal Frontiers in Energy Research. The collection of articles, titled Advancements in Biomass Feedstock Preprocessing: Conversion Ready Feedstocks, focuses on the many years of research and development into ...
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is offering an opportunity for funding to advance a bioenergy or biochemical production technology toward commercial scale through the construction and operation of a pilot plant. To be eligible for the AGRI Bioenergy/Biochemical Pilot Project Grant, applicants must be a Minnesota-based company, learning institution, local government unit, Native American ...
Department of Energy (DOE) announced its support for projects in Bioenergy Research and Development. The projects total about $80 million and address early-stage research and development in the hopes of achieving DOE’s goal of reducing biobased costs in fuels by 2022. Funding for these projects comes from four different programs: BioEnergy Engineering for ...
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) announced the availability of presentations from its Advanced Development and Optimization (ADO) Workshop. As previously reported in the Biobased and Renewable Products Advocacy Group (BRAG®) blog post DOE Advanced Development And Optimization Workshop, the workshop took place at the National Renewable ...
On January 13, 2017, the DOE Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), together with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), announced the intent to issue a request for applications (RFA) titled “Fiscal Year 17 Biomass Research and Development Initiative (BRDI).” Projects funded through BRDI must address one of the ...
The funding opportunity will be jointly managed by the DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and USDA-NIFA to address the barriers impeding the wider deployment of highly efficient IBR facilities, including increased capital, operational expenses, and scale-up complications. Projects will be selected from the following topic areas: Robust, continuous handling of ...
As organic materials make up a greater and greater proportion of municipal waste streams, creative alternatives such as anaerobic digestion are needed. Although local governments often hesitate to experiment with technologies on the taxpayers’ dime, several cities are venturing forward into using anaerobic digestion for diverting waste and producing energy. Many of these efforts are the ...
Last week, DOE released the 2016 Billion-Ton Report: Advancing Domestic Resources for a Thriving Bioeconomy, Volume 1: Economic Availability of Feedstocks (BT16). Jonathan Male, Director of the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), introduced the report, stating: While bioenergy currently is the greatest single source of renewable energy in the United States, there are still economic and ...
As the world population swells to more than seven billion and counting, the need for sustainable waste disposal and clean energy generation is growing with it. Lockheed Martin’s bioenergy power generation systems have the potential to solve both challenges At its core, the energy challenge is an engineering challenge. ...
DOE's Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) has announced the extension of the response deadline for a request for information (RFI) about public and private sector capabilities in pilot scale verification of biofuels and bioproducts processes. The RFI, originally posted on February 12, 2016, with a due date of March 4, 2016, requests information on facilities that have the "capability to perform ...
