Production of synthetic gasoline and diesel fuels by alternative processes using natural gas, coal and biomass: process simulation and economic analysis
The problem of producing synthetic liquid fuels by alternative routes is addressed. Industrial processes known as Gas To Liquid (GTL), Coal To Liquid (CTL) and Biomass To Liquid (BTL) are considered: they use natural gas, coal and biomass as feedstocks, respectively. By means of process simulation, it is shown that the fuel produced on a weight basis per unit of feedstock (natural gas, coal and ...

Synergistic energy conversion processes using nuclear energy and fossil fuels
This paper reviews the methods of producing energy carriers, such as electricity, hydrocarbons and hydrogen, by utilising both nuclear energy and fossil fuels synergistically. There are many possibilities for new, innovative, synergistic processes, which combine chemical and nuclear systems for efficient, clean and economical production of energy carriers. Besides the individual processes by each ...

E-fuels are crucial to sustainable heavy transport
Synthetic fuels produced from electricity, or e-fuels, will play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions from long-distance truck transport, aviation and shipping. For long-distance freight transport and shipping, synthetic methanol, diesel and LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) are the most attractive options; for deep-sea shipping, synthetic ammonia is also an important option. For aviation, only ...

The Dixon Ridge BioMax Success Story (Winters, California) - Case Study
Dixon Ridge Farms, a vertically integrated farming operation that grows, processes and sells organic walnuts was established by the Lester family in 1979. Each year the farm processes annually more than 1.5 million pounds of walnut meats, resulting in more than 2 million pounds of walnut shell. In the past, Dixon Ridge Farms was selling most of the walnut shell to a nearby large commercial ...

Shipping sector braces for emissions storm
Is the fuel oil market ready for tighter carbon and sulphur emissions rules on shipping? Tighter emissions regulations are set to cause a revolution in the shipping fuel market over the next few years, with plans now in place for carbon emissions cuts and tougher regulations on sulphur emissions increasingly likely to come into force in 2020. A compromise agreement reached by member states of ...

Setting a course for net-zero: Repsol’s role in the energy transition
In December 2019, Repsol committed to becoming a net-zero emissions company by 2050. The international multi-energy company was the first in the oil and gas industry to make this ambitious pledge, raising more than a few eyebrows around the globe. This did not, however, come out of the blue. Repsol was also the first company in the sector to endorse the Kyoto Protocol. The decision to take ...

Italy: the next CSP hotspot?
Italy could potentially have a booming CSP market, thanks to high DNI levels in the southern parts of the country and in the main islands of Sardinia and Sicily – where one of the newest CSP plants, the 50 MW Mazara, is being built. Feed-in-tariffs (FiTs) for CSP generation and industrial needs for process heat should make the market even more attractive. So why aren't developers flocking ...
