Hydrogen is widely used throughout major industries such as petroleum and biofuels refining, ammonia production, and many other processes. When produced cleanly, hydrogen has the ability to help decarbonize these and other industries such as transportation and steelmaking. Accordingly, green hydrogen production has become a global priority with a projected market in excess of 600bn […]
From Louisiana comes a long-awaited piece of news that impacts every Digest reader, everywhere. We’ve all seen the tremendous surge of decarbonization technology along the US Gulf Coast. More than $25 billion in low carbon projects have been announced in the Baton Rouge-Geismar industrial corridor alone. The story is more than about size, it’s about […]
BATON ROUGE, LOUSIANA – February 2, 2023 – The Daily Digest, the Baton Rouge Carbon Reduction Alliance, and the Baton Rouge Area Chamber today announced the launch of REenergize the Gulf Coast™, an online community and event series which will feature the rise of new low-carbon technologies that are transforming the US Gulf Coast economy. […]
Nearly half of all global emissions come from making products. But Origin Materials’ mission is to enable the world’s transition to sustainable materials to lower those GHG emissions. In these slides, we explore how the Origin platform can replace oil as the foundational feedstock for the materials economy and more — just as news that […]
News has arrived from the heartland that United Airlines will be buying up to 2.7 billion gallons of SAF, and up to 135 million gallons per year, from a new venture, Blue Blade Energy, which has been formed by Green Plains, Tallgrass and the airline. It’s new tech emerging this decade out of PNNL, going […]
The Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium is led by DOE as a collaborative effort among researchers from 9 National Labs. It’s Key Ideas? That biomass feedstock properties are variable and different from other commodities; and, that empirical approaches to address these issues have been unsuccessful. The FCIC uses first-principles- based science to de-risk biorefinery scale-up and deployment […]
It’s been 18 years since the Werpy and Petersen paper, Top Value Added Chemicals from Biomass —a screening for Potential Candidates from Sugars and Synthesis Gas that sent a lot of people in search of succinic acid, and about 12 years since industry CEOs started asking, why should I make a $3 fuel when I […]
“Plastic waste must be tackled for the sake of all life in the ocean.” – David Attenborough, biologist, natural historian, and author. Something must be done to solve the plastic problem. Not only for the good of ocean life, but to dramatically reduce the amount of waste that’s sent to landfill and incinerated, and to remove virgin […]
NovoNutrients‘ mission is to solve two problems simultaneously: creating sustainable protein to feed a growing population, and combating climate change through innovation. The proprietary microbes grow quickly in a carbonated water solution, using minimal water and no arable land. In some places, they’ll be paid to take CO2. The bioreactor designs optimal protein production for […]
In Washington, the U.S. Department of Energy has awarded $118M in funding for 17 projects to accelerate the production of sustainable biofuels Projects selected as part of this funding opportunity will contribute to meeting DOE’s goal to achieve cost-competitive biofuels and at least a 70% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. The Big […]
