How robust are the biocatalysts in industrially relevant setups and at scale? How feasible are the bioprocesses at scale? How can we improve the performance of the biocatalysts while developing bioprocesses? To answer these questions, researchers launched a Process and Integration Scale Up Task to conduct bioreactor cultivations for ABF Target-Host pairs across scales, integrate […]
Transformational Sustainability Reporting has three components. First, the ”Science” – organizing and presenting key data that is needed for a variety of stakeholders. Second, the “Art” – preparing quality and timely reports such as Sustainability Reports, ESG Reports, and Feasibility Studies. Finally, there’s the “Voice”, consulting and marketing services to effectively communicate this data to […]
Axens offers today the largest portfolio for renewable technology deployment, providing efficient, reliable and flexible technologies to convert biomass into high quality and low-carbon alternative products for the transportation sector as well as the chemical industry. Axens’ David Schwalje presented these slides at ABLC 2024.
Claus Nussgruber, the CEO of Utility Global, made his ABLC debut with this look at the hydrogen landscape and in particular the eXEROtechnology platform, with the promise of electrolysis without costly and hard to secure electricity. And the H2Gen system rapidly progressing towards commercialization in 2026.
Bioprocessing solutions for next gen biorefineries is what MetGen is about, and this illuminating slide guide from ABLC 2024 highlights how they maximize the value for biomass, de-bottleneck a biorefinery, all about the enzymatic lignin fractionation process, their commercial roadmap, and more. CEO Alex Michine is the incisive presenter here.
In this presentation by Advanced Biofuels Association president Mike McAdams, we learn about matching policy with real-world reality using the basic tool box of tax credits, grants, loans, mandates and the RFS. We see policy issues such as “numbers don’t reflect reality,” available feedstocks are threatened, and there is over reliance in policy on technologies […]
From hairspray propellant to chemical commodity In this presentation by Jan-Willem Konemann of TNO, we learn about Sorption Enhanced DME Synthesis, which can transform the conversion efficiency of DME production from CO2 by a factor of 15 by removing water in-situ.
Gasification of biomass continues to be an area of high challenge and high opportunity in the bioeconomy as the industry searches for a reliable system for handling wastes and residues (not nicely cut woodchips) at commercial-scale, for feeding into high pressure reactors. Problems such as arching and ratholing have impacted the success rates of feed […]
Flemming Kanstrup and Robert Buckley-Mellor of Topsoe and Worley respectively presented these slides at ABLC 2024 on new revenue for biogenic CO2 via eMethanol — highlighting that market maturity breaks the barriers to entry for producers and offtakers, such as eMethanol marine engines that are readily available.
IEA Bioenergy Task 40: Deployment of biobased value chains (in the triennium 2016-2018 known as ‘Sustainable biomass markets and international bioenergy trade to support the biobased economy’), commonly abbreviated Task 40, was established under the International Energy Agency (IEA) Bioenergy Implementing Agreement in December 2003 with the aim of focusing on international bioenergy technology potential, […]
