What to do with the world’s most available and inexpensive feedstock – garbage? Cielo’s tech is capable of converting multiple waste streams into renewable fuel like high-grade renewable diesel, kerosene (aviation get and marine fuel) and naphtha. Get the latest on their commercial facility, production, the tech behind it, and more.
Spiber’s partnership with ADM! The all-new Qore JV between Cargill and HELM (using Genomatica technology). Both setting up shop in Iowa to revolutionize biobased materials. Get the Inside True Story— spider silk proteins and bio-based BDO, what are the techs, projects, apps, rationales and more.
What if we could build a biorefinery in every state and divert all 76 million dry T/y of organic wastes into transportation biofuels…forever? That’s what Pacific Northwest National Lab hopes will happen someday as they work on accelerating the adoption of promising conversion technologies.
Global protein consumption, especially of meat, continues to rise. The food industry’s burgeoning demand for livestock creates massive environmental, health, financial and ethical problems, but MeaTech is developing an alternative with an industrial cultured meat production process with integrated 3D printing technology. Find out about this cellular agriculture and Meat 2.0.
Check out this NREL slide guide covering their latest work on waste-to-energy resources, municipal solid waste (MSW) streams available for bioenergy conversions, and the latest data and analyses on WTE projects. From food waste management pathways, wood waste, management cost and policy structures.
There’s nothing hotter right now than renewable diesel and SAF – what are the pathways, projects, who are the players, what are the business models, are there alternative feedstocks? Check out this slide guide from last week’s DigestConnect where Will Thurmond, author of Renewable Diesel & Sustainable Aviation Fuels 2030 highlights the latest.
Can you really convert 50% of lignin carbon into bio-phenols? Spero Renewables is working on exactly that and making polymers and chemicals from lignin bio-phenols. Spero even enables biofuel cost reduction of $1-2 gallons gasoline equivalent. Get the details on the tech behind it, how they are scaling it up, and more.
17 years ago, Werpy and Peterson gave us the seminal “Top 12 Biobased Molecules” – how have they fared? What are the top 12 now, and the top 12 tomorrow? BioCognito’s Nathan Danielson and NCGA’s Sarah McKay have the answers, based on work recently appearing in Industrial Biotechnology.
Wet waste, municipal sludge residuals, animal manure, food waste, inedible fats/oils/greases – all things we used to throw away, but now can be converted into valuable bioproducts. Check out this illuminating slide guide on BETO’s strategy on organic waste, the problems it solves, converting these liabilities into revenue streams, and more.
At the recent BETO peer review, Xylome shared this illuminating slide guide on making biodiesel precursors from dissolved organics and corn fiber present in grain ethanol stillage by engineering hyper-lipogenic strains of L. starkeyi to express and secrete cellulases and xylanases. See how they demonstrate fermentation with their top strain on stillage in a commercial […]
