The aim is for the selected projects to improve the performance and lower the cost and risk of technologies that can be used to produce biopower, biofuels, and bioproducts from biomass and waste resources. Selected projects will address the following R&D areas: Scale-up of bench applications to reduce scale-up risks for biofuel and bioproduct ...
” In order to remove EPA discretion from the process, biofuels supporters united behind a plan to account for SREs using a three-year rolling average of actual refinery exemptions granted. ...
Over the course of the multi year project, researchers have discovered how feedstock type affects various thermochemical biofuels conversion processes and quantified impacts of feedstock type on the hydrotreatment of pyrolysis oil, and how the methodology can be applied to other thermochemical conversion pathways. ...
Small businesses selected in Round 1 to partner with NREL and other national laboratories include: Visolis of California will partner with NREL to scale-up its process to produce an intermediate product. Processed fermentation broth containing the intermediate product will be sent to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for catalyst lifetime testing and ...
The Conference covers the entire biomass value chain, including research, technologies and applications and continues the successful format from previous years, addressing topics from biomass itself to conversion processes for biofuels, bioenergy and biorefineries, to industrial applications of research results and to political policies and impacts on the ...
The solid waste left over from wine-making could make a competitive biofuel, University of Adelaide researchers have found. Published in the journal Bioresource Technology, the researchers showed that up to 400 litres of bioethanol could be produced by fermentation of a tonne of grape marc (the leftover skins, stalks and seeds from wine-making). ...
The scope of the congress traditionally includes both direct biomass burning and combustion as a means to turn biomass into biofuel for automotive transport, and highlights this year include prevention of the formation and emission of halogenated persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and secondary emissons of intermediate chemicals. Conference chair Stina Jansson said that in a ...

Conference chair Stina Jansson said that in a ...
Enzymes are an expensive part of the biofuels conversion process, so engineering improvements in the most prevalent enzyme has the potential for lowering costs significantly. ...
Environmental Protection Agency issued long-awaited approval for new feedstocks and biofuel processes under the Renewable Fuel Standard. The rule was first proposed in January 2012 and now clears a path for advanced and cellulosic biofuels from camelina and energy cane, as well as renewable gasoline from previously approved biomass sources, to ...
The facility is intended to test and scale up a process for the commercial production of liquid fuels via Joule's novel technology, which uses sunlight to convert industrial waste carbon dioxide into liquid hydrocarbons, ethanol or chemical products. Joule recently won the 2011 Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Award in the Energy ...
OriginOil expects to benefit from INL’s scientific and engineering expertise and its large Process Demonstration Facility which boasts advanced biofuels processing capabilities and equipment, including biochemical, thermochemical and other downstream conversion technologies. A primary effort will be to integrate ...
SarTec Corporation announced today it has received a $500,000 Department of Energy grant (Award # DE-EE0003127) as part of a larger project to develop and enhance the use of inedible energy crops for the production of advanced biofuels using the patented Mcgyan® biodiesel process. The project will involve local farmers in the central plains region of the ...
Microorganisms such as yeast are essential to the biofuel production process as they are needed to convert the fermentable sugars generated by enzymes from biomass into ethanol. ...

Canadian Bioenergy Corporation, a leading supplier of premium biodiesel in Canada, and Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), a global leader in agricultural processing and biofuel production, have entered into negotiations to form a joint venture to construct and operate a 265 million litre/year (70 million gallon/year) canola-based biodiesel production facility ...
Being launched today in Canberra, the A$8.3 million CSIRO Energy Transformed Cluster on Biofuels will develop new processes using enzyme biotechnology techniques to produce liquid fuels from waste plant feedstocks with the potential to provide 30 per cent of Australia’s future transport needs. ...
But advanced new technologies can make burning these biofuels a 'green' process, argues Macqueen. Global dependence on biofuels will rise from 10 to 30 per cent by 2050, he says, and the developing world is already embracing this source of energy — supplying homes with wood-pellet boilers, for example, or building biomass power stations. ...
By treating, cleaning and enriching the sludge in a sustainable manner (also known as Advanced Anaerobic Digestion), it can be recycled as biofuel. The process - popularly known as 'from sludge to energy' - takes place in innovative biogas plants. ...
This enables the Pall system to facilitate significant cost savings over generic piloting systems, and provide users with essential economic information concerning scale-up much earlier in the development process. There is a global movement focusing on the process development of biobased fuels and chemicals which can augment the supply of petroleum-derived fuels ...
BP also became the sole owner of Vercipia Biofuels and Galaxy Biofuels, the 50-50 joint ventures created by the Company and BP. Verenium retains its commercial enzyme business, including its biofuels enzyme products, and has the right to develop its own cellulosic enzyme program. ...
