Barnwell County and the 7-county Southern Carolina region – it’s full of feedstocks like low-carbon forest residues for SAF, hydrogen transport fuels, chemicals, and more. Check out the recent DigestConnect slide guide on the biomass-replete region of the Southern Carolinas and Barnwell County, SC — a forest-replete corridor – and Bioeconomy Development Opportunity Zones.
NextChem and Saola are working together to provide a sustainable aviation fuel/renewable diesel plant sized to regional feedstock supplies. Check out this illuminating slide guide on how their renewable diesel tech is tuned to SAF, how they maximize the value of low carbon intensity feedstock, how regional scale (20 MMGPY) can be advantageous versus large […]
Hydrogen for aviation is now and growing, according to Nexa and Element 1’s latest ABLC presentation. How can it scale up? What if hydrogen transport, storage and trans-loading can be as simple as AvGas or Jet Fuel? What about methanol as hydrogen feedstock? Where is it in use already today? How would it work in […]
What is a renewable DME company like Oberon Fuels doing with propane and hydrogen industries? Well, first they harvest waste via renewable methanol or biogas to make their rDME, which can then be blended with propane, setting the stage for widespread hydrogen transport and leveraging existing distribution. Get all the latest on how rDME solves […]
Yield10 is now launching camelina as a low Carbon Intensity biofuels feedstock crop. Long-term, they are looking at PHA camelina for high value PHA bioplastics. The commercial opportunity in relay cropping is huge too and camelina can help as a replenishable reserve, even in the winter.
Waste-to-fuels tech has come a long way and Cielo is producing high-quality fuels from waste materials with steady-state production anticipated this year. Get the latest details on the Aldersyde Facility and the R&D facility, their road to commercialization, how their thermal catalytic depolymerization tech works to convert waste to fuel, and more.
Vertimass CADO catalyst transforms ethanol into infrastructure compatible fuels in one step without adding hydrogen. Find out how their tech works, what other alcohols they can convert to renewable hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals, how it can explode ethanol markets, and more.
The commercialization of emerging tech, the production of biofuels, renewable chemicals and biobased products – these are some of the things the USDA Rural Business Cooperative Service is working on. Find out about their Guaranteed Loan Programs, trends they are seeing, the USDA BioPreferred Program, and more.
Virent, a subsidiary of Marathon Petroleum developed its BioForming technology to create fuels and chemicals from a wide range of naturally occurring, renewable resources. And now they teamed up with Johnson Matthey to bring to market Virent’s proprietary tech for the production of BioFormate, enabling production of bio-gasoline, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and bio-aromatic chemicals. […]
Who knew ammonia is used so much in the chemicals industry, supplying virtually all nitrogen, and that ammonia is so essential to maintaining world food output via fertilizers. But the chemical industry can’t become carbon neutral without addressing ammonia and green hydrogen can be their solution by achieving full decarbonization, esp. through electroreduction.
