Sustainable aviation fuels are big globally due to incentives like the CORSIA program or regional SAF mandates. If you missed The Digest’s webinar where two of the most experienced people in SAF options from Haldor Topsoe explored technology, feedstocks, policy, offtake markets, timelines, models – everything needed to understand about the SAF business and how […]
Being in a big state, Texas A&M University has some big goals like overcoming the key challenges for biorefinery cost-effectiveness and sustainability in the BETO MYPP and bring down the biofuel cost to $3/GGE. How are they managing biorefinery waste, improving biorefinery economics and sustainability, delivering biodegradable plastics, and more?
Dan Anderson from Pacific Northwest National Lab shared this illuminating slide guide at BETO’s Peer Review this year with the latest on PNNL’s work on building algae hydrothermal liquification (HTL) pathway to fuels, with the potential to meet BETO FY 2030 goal of $2.50/GGE.
The International Energy Agency just released “Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector, literally mapping out how the global energy sector can reach net zero by 2050 with clear milestones – more than 400 in total spanning all sectors and technologies – for what needs to happen, and when, to transform […]
NREL is working on decarbonization of fuels and chemicals production by looking at the integration of CO2 utilization into two existing conceptual biorefinery designs, the brutal reality of CO2 reduction, market trends, decreasing the cost of renewable electricity and utilizing CO2 to improve biorefinery carbon utilization and more.
You may have seen The Digest’s top story early this week on Carbios’ latest acquisition, but here’s a follow up you won’t want to miss with their latest presentation highlighting millions in capital increase, their PET and PLA enzyme tech to fully break-down plastics, infinite recycling to solve plastic pollution, and more.
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.
