Today, we look at how you can knock cost out of project finance through measuring and mitigating risk. Stephen Gorman of Commercial Insurance Associates shares the process of analyzing and evaluating new tech performance and bioeconomy projects to facilitate risk transfer and more.
Low-carbon, drop-in fuels with a pathway to “net zero” is what Gevo is all about. Capturing renewable energy and transforming it into energy dense, liquid hydrocarbons that can be drop-in fuels is a game changer, especially with net zero GHG footprint. How they do it, the technology, current commercial operations and facilities, pipeline of projects, […]
Today, a special look at new hard data on EVs vs IC engines — what the recent Wall Street Journal review missed! It was an exclusive to the DigestConnect last week but here’s your chance to see the full slides on emissions, fuels, octane, mileage, performance, and results that will surprise you.
Southwest Research Institute’s Eloy Flores, Assistant Director R&D in Chemical Engineering, shared this illuminating slide guide on SwRI’s work with alternative fuels technology and all steps from idea/concept, engine testing to pilot plant, scale up and transformation to the commercial plant.
Avantium believes in a fossil-free world, and while the Covid-19 crisis threw them, like so many around the globe, for a loop, they remained focused on continuing progress towards a circular economy. Here are highlights from Avantium’s 2020 Annual Report, renewable polymers and YXY tech for FDCA and PEF, renewable chemistries and RAY, Dawn and […]
From current carbon fiber recycling methods to the way of the future – mild chemical recycling – this slide guide from Washington State University researchers is one you won’t want to miss. Their latest research on chemical treatment under mild conditions of epoxy composites dives into how it works, the promising results so far, and […]
The same yet different. That’s biochar and activated carbon – both are carbon-based porous material and are the active agent in a separation process, but they also have significant differences. Check out this illuminating slide guide from William Naylor at Lee Enterprises Consulting on the advantages and applications for biochar, suggestions for biochar producers, and […]
Like magic, it’s the ‘disappearing’ gasoline tax on just the non-renewable portion of transportation fuel. Bob Kozak of Atlantic Biomass Conversions looks at how this can fund a renaissance in new technology for bio-based fuels, how the disappearing fee uses can reduce biomass input costs, reduce biofuel production costs, and more.
What can Pyrolysis produce that’s sustainable and affordable? Technology, markets, applications, key players, what’s here and what’s coming. Check out this deep-dive into pyrolysis, including the hot new field of plastic pyrolysis for advanced fuels using “second chance carbon” and more in this special Digest presentation.
Energy and transportation sectors need renewable solutions, and Sylvatex is using green nanochemistry to turn renewable feedstocks into sustainable solutions for the $2+ trillion market. What is their proprietary tech MicroX? How does it turn renewable materials and byproducts from existing facilities into low-carbon diesel, lower-cost batteries and more?
