In Tennessee, Gevo has licensed two patented catalyst technologies from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for use in the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Researchers at ORNL developed catalysts that enable a single-step conversion of ethanol to olefins (ETO), which can then be used to produce SAF. A catalyst accelerates chemical reactions and enhances the efficiency of the fuel production process. In addition to SAF, olefins serve as key building blocks for a wide range […]
In Kentucky, University of Kentucky researchers have developed a way to transform whisky production waste into high-performance components for supercapacitors. This solution repurposes an industrial byproduct in a way that could eventually help stabilize the electrical grid. By using a technique called hydrothermal carbonization, which functions like a high-intensity pressure cooker, they convert stillage into […]
