For more than a decade, Boeing has been a leader in developing sustainable transportation, including the fostering of the wave of technologies now available in 2021 via a multi-pronged effort in fuel testing, aircraft certification, supply-chain development, fuel standard development, policy advocacy and a leading role in convening what became to be known as the […]
Delivering on the promise of synthetic biology, her’s the latest view on products and technology from the “No Compromise Crew” at Amyris.
The news from Gevo and Axens teaming up to commercialize Ethanol-to-Jet in the U.S. and Axens tech licensing to Aemetis is hot, but here’s the inside scoop straight from Axens as presented at ABLC in San Francisco diving into their renewable fuels tech like BioTfuel, BioTCat, Futurol 2G ethanol, Alcohol to Jet, and more.
Activate organizes and manages two-year fellowships to turn technology concept into a product. Fellows receive a yearly living stipend of $80,000 to $110,000 plus a health insurance stipend and travel allowance. This enables them to focus on their project full-time. Each project also receives $100,000 in research funding. Activate managing director David Anton gave this […]
Winter is coming, and renewable heating as well as power are in the seasonal conversation. For those facing big heating bills this winter from an expected shortage of fossil natural gas and propane, the remedy is clear — renewable biogas and RNG. Companies have been developing hundreds of these facilities around the countries, it’s hard […]
Long-time ABLC presenter John Oyen brought these slides to the main stage, as we looked in the Advanced Biofuels and a suite of “safe, smart and sustainable operations through solutions that digitalize, automate and electrify industry. Turns out that 62 percent of projects face cost overruns, 79 percent face schedule delays — that’s addressable, as […]
Baby, it’s cold outside, and LanzaTech is working on a flexible Alcohol-to-Diesel process for producing drop-in, renewable diesel fuel blendstocks from biomass-derived ethanol, including cold weather uses. From the tech behind it to the latest on their jet and diesel production at Freedom Pines Biorefinery, this is one slide guide you won’t want to miss.
LanzaTech, Northwestern, University of South Florida and Georgia Institute of Technology researchers are working on the engineered reveral of the β-oxidation cycle in clostridia for the synthesis of fuels and chemicals. The objective? To develop clostridia to ferment synthesis gas produced from cellulosic biomass by established gasification tech into a range of advanced bioproducts.
Wastewater reuse has a strong case for it and ZwitterCo’s membrane products are designed for water treatment, precision separation, and product recovery in a wide range of industrial and agricultural processes. Their membranes are made using breakthrough chemistries that allow for reliable regeneration after filtering the toughest process waters and wastewaters.
BASF’s Chemicals, Materials and Industrial Solutions segments increased prices by 36% and volumes grew by 6% leading to increased sales, with earnings considerably above this time last year (yes, 2020 was a woozy in many ways). But shortages remain an issue for BASF.
