By Dieter Bockey, Head of Division, UFOP Special to The Digest The Black Sea region is of great importance for the global supply of agricultural commodities such as wheat, maize, sunflower, rapeseed and soya. The war in Ukraine affects important agricultural markets; this is reflected in the rise in quotations and has an impact on […]
You may have heard of Anellotech’s Bio-TCat process – thermal catalytic biomass conversion – but what about their Plas-TCat, their conversion of mixed waste plastics directly to valuable chemicals, not fuels? Where are they with commercialization? What’s the feedstock composition? What’s the product yield? How scaleable is it?
Pierre Poitras, Technical Consultant at Conidia Bioscience, looks at how the increased percentage of biofuels can raise the cost of fuel as well as leave it susceptible to microbes. The analysis is based on the white paper Protecting equipment from microbial contamination when changing fuel chemistry We live in a world where we simply must […]
We know plastic doesn’t have to be made from fossil fuels. Avantium’s tech is making 100% plant-based PEF made from FDCA and plantMEG possible and addressing the need for a circular new plastics economy. What’s their long-term growth plan? What end-markets can they address? All the details on their plans, commercialization, the tech, and more.
A new technology worth knowing from the wilds of Wyoming, Raven SR is what it’s all about in this illuminating slide guide that highlights how Raven’s tech takes any organic waste and converts it to clean hydrogen and synthetic Fischer-Tropsch fuels through their patented Steam/CO2 Reforming process. A recent partnership with Samsung C&T marked the […]
If you want to know what is being done to overcome current limitations for conversion of algae biomass to fuels and bioproducts by efficient utilization of proteins and carbohydrates, which are the dominant components of algae biomass at high growth rate and more, check out this slide guide from Sandia National Laboratories.
50-70% of bioprocessing costs are associated with separations, so there is a need to raise technical maturity of separations for biomass-derived intermediate and product streams while reducing costs and addressing the major separation challenges. So what is the U.S. DOE BETO Bioprocessing Separations Consortium doing about it?
In Iowa, Renewable Energy Group introduced its EnDura Fuels line of renewable fuels solutions. This branded product launch supports Renewable Energy Group’s ongoing efforts to help the transport industry meet its sustainability and business growth objectives, while strengthening the Company’s position in the marketplace. The EnDura Fuels line consists of five bio-based diesel fuels including […]
It has been a long winter in the bioeconomy, companies and technologies laboring to convert promise into production, and unlock agricultural surplus to make sustainable energy and materials. Now the bioeconomy’s hour has arrived. Perhaps it was COVID, when biotechnology produced vaccines in record time. Perhaps it was the supply-chain crisis that come with […]
How do we address the growth and emissions of the aviation sector? How does Alder Fuels enable the conversion of biomass into transportation fuels? How can Alder hyperscale? Who is Alder partnering with? Bruno Miller, Chief Commercial Officer at Alder Fuels shared this illuminating slide guide at ABLC in DC that answers those questions and […]
