While you may have waste fats, oils and greases or FOG after this week’s turkey dinner, technology has unlocked it as feedstock for renewable diesel, biodiesel and jet fuel, and the world-wide search is on from “brown Gold”. Greasezilla execs Brian Levine and Bill Hambley shared this slide guide at last week’s DigestConnect on the […]
The world is awash in low-cost ethanol thanks to bioeconomy technology, but we’re not yet awash in high-value renewable chemicals — now, with new technology, we can make those high-value chemicals from ethanol. If you missed last week’s DigestConnect, Catalyxx CEO Joanquin Alarcon shared this slide guide on what his technology edge is, how the projects work […]
Shortages of medical face masks were just one problem we faced this year, but Celluair tackled it head on by using nanocellulose materials for face masks enabling it to decouple from the traditional supply chain, thereby eliminating the bottlenecks in the supply of chemicals and materials used. Instead of fossil fuel based raw material, Celluair […]
Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials may have started in biofuels, but their latest work to transform the chemicals and polymers industry by ensuring sustainability is of note and goes across the supply chain. For example, RSB-certified bio-naphtha is mixed with virgin fossil naphtha from UPM when it enters the INEOS O&P supply chain in Germany and […]
As part 2 of the seawater-to-fuels discussion from DigestConnect last week, get an insider look at the breakthroughs the U.S. Navy project to produce renewable fuels from seawater using synthetic biology, as shared by Professor Nigel Scrutton of the UK Future Biomanufacturing Research Hub. Details on how synthetic biology is being used to engineer microbes for fine and […]
W2X sounds like a new rock band name, but it’s what Brightmark’s CEO, Bob Powell, talked about at last week’s DigestConnect on fuels and plastics from dairy and MSW wastes. How do the technologies work? What are the economics? Where are the markets? When are projects coming online? Who’s joining in on the RNG and plastics-from-waste future?
Even with the craziness of 2020, Amyris had above market growth rate with a YTD consumer revenue growth of +220% and a YTD product revenue of +72%. How? Maybe it’s the $60 million invested per year in R&D? Or its their deliverance of 4 new molecules at scale surpassing their target of 2 or 3? […]
If you missed yesterday’s DigestConnect webinar, check out the U.S. Navy’s new gambit and get an inside look at the U.S. Navy’s breakthroughs to produce renewable fuels from seawater using synthetic biology. How does the technology work? What’s the future? Find out what Dr. Patric Rose from the Office of Naval Research Gloal has to say.
With plans to be fully circular, Covestro is on top of alternative raw materials like biomass, CO2, used materials and waste that can replace fossil resources. For example, their biobased car top coat is just one way to lower CO2 footprint of automotive products. Find out their ambitions to reduce GHG emissions by 50% by […]
Taking on the global plastic waste issue is not easy, but NexantECA is up for it and tackling it with thermal plastic waste conversion technologies. The production of feedstocks for olefins gives value to “unrecyclable” plastics and the production of methanol and naphtha creates the potential for a circular economy. Dive into the details of […]
