Honeywell UOP creates new technologies that convert oil and natural gas into transportation fuels, energy and petrochemicals. UOP has a century-long record leading technology development for the oil and gas industry UOP technology makes more than 60% of the world’s gasoline, 70% of its polyester, and 90% of biodegradable detergents, and processes more than 40% […]
This week on the Digest webinar stage, we looked at ethanol as a building block and membrane technologies that can unlock that future based on better, faster, cheaper separation. Interest is surging with the rise of demand for alcohol-to-jet technologies targeted by governments, end-users and technologists alike. But there is a far broader set of […]
The Bioprocessing Separations Consortium is a National Laboratory-led effort, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office, that is dedicated to identifying and overcoming separations challenges associated with the conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals. This Consortium’s work is helping to reduce bioprocess separations costs, which can account for up to 50-70% […]

A recent DOE project with the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium aims to develop science-based design and operation principles informed by TEA/LCA that result in predictable, reliable, and scalable performance of preprocessing unit operations. The investigators aim to develop design principles for various working envelopes of critical material attributes and critical process parameters for corn stover, forest […]
Low-temperature CO2 electrolysis is a promising pathway to produce low carbon intensity fuels and chemicals, offering advantages in scalability, process efficiency, and intermittent operation. Significant risks must be overcome for CO2 electrolysis to help meet 2050 decarbonization goals A new DOE project aims to work alongside CO2RUe Consortium analysis projects to identify/quantify risks, and performs […]
A new DOE project aims to develop a novel catalytic upgrading technologies that enable cost-competitive conversion of cellulosic ethanol to sustainable aviation fuel. It aims to develop a commercially viable process within the concept of an integrated biorefinery that lowers fuel production costs and carbon intensity to aid in the transition towards net- zero aviation. […]
A new DOE project aims to develop the centerpiece technology for an integrated biorefinery concept based on the conversion of renewable and waste sources of C1 intermediates (e.g., syngas, CO2, methanol) to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with improved carbon efficiency and reduced capital and operating expenses compared to traditional gas-to-liquids processes.
