Supporting sustainability by converting fat from food into renewable fuel with the Cricketfilter®
THE CHALLENGE Our customer collects and re-cycles leftover food from hotels and the retail trade which would normally be send to landfills or be thrown away. A key component of the filtration process is to filter and separate the solids and the PE from the fat contained in the leftover food. The customer needed to achieve less than 50 ppm in order to produce high quality renewable fuel to power ...

A comparison of fast and slow pyrolysis liquids from mallee
An exploratory comparative study of the fast and slow pyrolysis of eucalyptus mallee has been carried out to explore the differences in liquid yields and characteristics. The study focused on the liquid products, which were fully characterised and good mass balance closures were achieved. The influence of temperature and heating rates on the slow pyrolysis of eucalyptus mallee was investigated, ...

The production of biofuels and renewable chemicals by fast pyrolysis of biomass
Bio-energy can provide more renewable energy requirements than any other technology. This paper focuses on fast pyrolysis as the only thermal process that directly delivers a high yield of liquid. This can be used on site or transported to centralised facilities for utilisation. This offers the potential for optimisation, greater economies of scale and exploitation of bio-refineries. The overall ...

Opportunities for biofuel sustainable development in Bulgaria
The introduction of Directive 2003/30 EC of the European Union (EU) on biofuels had the ambitious goal to both reduce greenhouse gas emission (GHG) and create new jobs in rural areas. The challenge lies in the availability of premises to convert biomass in energy, which depends on the availability of land. Thus an opportunity has been created on the EU market for biofuels, offering to each Member ...

Hydrogen as transport fuel in Iceland. The political, technological and commercial story of ECTOS
Through the political, the technological and the commercial story of the early phases of the ECTOS project and its background, the implementation of hydrogen as transport fuel in Iceland is analysed. The presence of large amounts of geothermal energy is the resource basis for the governmental plans for converting Iceland into a hydrogen economy. Strong political commitment has established the ...

RICanada welcomes Quebec Renewable Fuel Volume Requirements
Renewable Industries Canada (RICanada), a principal stakeholder representing Canadian producers of clean-burning renewable fuels, announced that the Quebec Government’s 2017-2020 Action Plan under the 2030 Energy Policy included, for the first time, renewable fuel volume requirements for fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. The renewable fuel blending requirement was set at 5% for gasoline ...

The role of industrial symbiosis in promoting bio-fuel feedstock uses for UK food and fibre production
The UK government has promoted bio-fuels as a major contribution in tackling global warming and realising its sustainable development objectives. However, there is now clear evidence that first-generation bio-fuels suffer from serious eco-inefficiencies. UK bio-fuel policy instruments, far from supporting the development of sustainable energy alternatives, may in fact be adding to habitat loss, ...

Liquid fuels from woody biomass
Although challenges like global climate change and oil depletion will increasingly drive fuel selection, increasing bioenergy use is only one of many possible responses to these problems. Present biomass liquid fuels are almost all derived from food crops, but their potential for further expansion is limited. Any major expansion of biomass liquid fuels will require use of the more abundant ...

Scenarios for the role of hydrogen in a future energy system based on renewable energy
An all-renewable energy system for a group of North European countries is investigated by temporal simulation of the demand-supply matching for various system configurations. The role of hydrogen technologies for energy storage and fuel cell applications is studied and applied to both stationary and transportation sectors. It is shown that there is scope for considerable amounts of energy trade ...

Assessment of hemicellulose extraction technology for bioethanol production in the emerging bioeconomy
Rising energy costs, climate change and fossil fuel consumption are driving global efforts to transition toward a sustainable 'green' bioeconomy. This pursuit of bioeconomy requires billion tons of feedstocks, development of biomass-based technologies and biorefineries under the overarching principle of sustainability. First generation ethanol has helped to effectively manage the increasing ...

New Study: Biofuel Use Saved 589.3 Million Tons of Carbon Emissions Over the Past Decade
Over its 10-year lifespan, the Renewable Fuel Standard’s (RFS) requirement to substitute biofuels for fossil fuels has displaced nearly 1.9 billion barrels of foreign oil and reduced U.S. transportation-related carbon emissions by 589.33 million metric tons, the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) finds in an analysis released today. Brent Erickson, executive vice president of ...

Biogas: a necessary solution to foster EU’s energy transition
Achieving EU ambitious target of 55% CO2 emission reductions by 2030 will require fundamental changes to the energy sector. It is of paramount importance to promote all sustainable fuels and their infrastructure. Biogas is a flexible and reliable renewable energy carrier, an enabler of significant CO2 emissions reductions and carbon removals. On June 11, Bioenergy Europe released its 2021 ...

Year of 2015: A Look Back & Ahead
The wheels have been spinning fast in Bio4Energy these past six months. Barely had the Swedish energy minister Ibrahim Baylan been to visit Bio4Energy at Umeå, Sweden, when it was announced that one of the Bio4Energy member organisations had been taken over by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden, and become the SP Energy Technology Center. Biorefinery à la Bio4Energy was ...

Case study - Sacramento, California: The first U.S. city to power refuse trucks on renewable natural gas (RNG) made from separated food
California has long been a pioneer in implementing sustainable transportation strategies, and yet again, the State can claim another first-of-its land project in the United States as its own. By collecting and diverting food waste from a local landfill, two Sacramento-area companies, CleanWorld and Atlas Disposal Industries, have opened the Sacramento Biodigester — the first closed-loop ...

BEIS Consultation on the Future of UK Green Gas Support
One of the bioeconomy’s greatest opportunities lies in provision of renewable heat, specifically from the injection of biomethane from anaerobic digestion (AD) into the gas grid. This provides a consistent and reliable source of renewable heat for both domestic and non-domestic purposes by decarbonising the gas grid, lowering the carbon emissions profile compared to natural gas. ...

Environmental ingenuity: These creative business ideas aim to be both sustainable and successful
Picture this: Out in the open ocean, rows of farmed kelp spanning an area about the size of Mexico. Once harvested and processed, this rapid-growing seaweed would be turned into a fuel that you could pump into your car. No more relying on fossil fuels that take millions of years to form—and whose emissions into the atmosphere are the biggest contributor to the Earth's rising temperatures. ...
