Carbon Dioxide and the Green Gases Agenda
By Sam A. Rushing, President, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd. Special to The Digest Carbon dioxide is generally thought of by those who are not in the gases industries as either a greenhouse gas; and/or for use in beverage carbonation, and perhaps fire abatement. To those in the gases industries, carbon dioxide is known for much more; […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Feedstock Preprocessing
A team of researchers is working 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 comminution and fractionation manuals that industry needs will contain design principles for various working envelopes of CMAs and critical process parameters (CPPs) for corn stover, forest […]

Virent (#2), Gevo (#3), LanzaJet (#4), BioVeritas (#5), LanzaTech (#6), Marquis (#7), Fluid Quip Technologies (#8), Viridis (#9) and AFYREN (#10) rounded out the top 10. The […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Feedstock Variability
Industry needs to understand key sources of biomass variability (e.g., growth conditions, harvest conditions, storage degradation) to identify and quantify CMA distributions that propagate across unit operations to inform cost-effective management of variability. A team of researchers is working to identify and quantify the initial distribution of feedstock critical material attributes (CMAs) and inform strategies […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Feedstock Material Handling
A primary challenge in the design of a biorefinery is the storage, transport, and reactor feeding of the biomass feedstocks. Material handling/feeding is prone to process upsets such as jamming and clogging, resulting in increased downtime and ultimately higher costs. Commercial-scale conversion of biomass in biorefineries remains limited. A team of researchers aim to develop […]
Bold Goals Action Group release 40 Bold Actions to Accelerate the Bioeconomy
In Washington, the Bold Goals Action Group released the final text of the 40 Bold Actions to Accelerate at ABLC 2024. The release capped a year-long, multi-national effort by bioeconomy stakeholders to define specific actions that must be accomplished by industry, financiers and government in order to reach ambitious Net Zero defossilization goals set by […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to the Trois-Rivieres BDO Zone
In this presentation, we explored the new BDO Zone at Trois-Rivieres, Quebec— the feedstocks, the infrastructure, the workforce, how risks are mitigated. David Berthelot of Trois-Rivieres presented these slides on The BDO Zone, a program on Digest TV
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to the Sarnia Lambton BDO Zone
In this presentation, we explored the new BDO Zone at Sarnia-Lambton, Ontario — the feedstocks, the infrastructure, the workforce, how risks are mitigated. Sarnia-Lambton’s Shauna Carr presented these slides on The BDO Zone, a program on Digest TV
Vanguard Renewables 10 years on
“In a very short timeframe over several months back in 2012 for a series of completely disassociated reasons – I had a whole bunch of folks coming to me and talking about anaerobic digestion.” So begins John Hanselman in telling the 10-year evolution of Vanguard Renewables, which has become an anaerobic digestion industry leader and […]
