The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to the BOTTLE Consortium’s Industry Projects & Engagement

August 14, 2024 | Jim Lane

BOTTLE (Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment) created a centralized business development (BD) platform and focused BD effort, and created a dedicated BD/research role (Chief Technology Officer) to streamline engagement and lead CRADA projects, aiming to solve real-world problems in plastics upcycling via targeted, company-funded projects, and act as a […]

The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Agile BioFoundry Technoeconomic and Lifecycle Analysis

August 13, 2024 | Jim Lane

The Agile BioFoundry carries out techno-economic and life cycle assessments (TEA/LCA) to quantify the economic and environmental performance of selected fermentative routes, to quantify the economic and environmental performance of selected fermentative routes, and to Develop process models for relevant production pathways within the consortium What’s the latest?

The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to the State of Advanced Biorefineries and eFuels

August 12, 2024 | Jim Lane

In this presentation, we explored the challenges faced in the transition to sustainable, available, reliable, affordable products from advanced biorefineries, and also the path to scale that Efauls are on. We look at the companies and technologies getting traction, new projects underway, the state of feedstocks, policy, the international situation, and the key trends. The […]

The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to adsorption-based in-situ product recovery

August 9, 2024 | Jim Lane

Multiple bioproducts of interest to projects require separations innovations. A team of researchers set a goal to recover acid products using anion exchange and simulated moving bed chromatography, and to develop an ISPR system for the recovery of bio-derived products using a suite of commercial and designer resins. Also to develop continuous simulated moving bed […]

The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to 2,3 -Butanediol Separations

August 8, 2024 | Jim Lane

2,3-butanediol (BDO) is a common component in fermentation broths present in low concentrations. Recovery/separation of 2,3-butanediol poses many challenges due to inherent limitations such as its high affinity with water and issues with energy-intensive evaporation and multi-stage distillation. BDO separations approaches have been under development by the Separations Consortium for several years. A team representing […]

The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Better SAF via Adsorptive De-Nitrogenation

August 7, 2024 | Jim Lane

Hydrothermal liquefaction provides a straightforward approach to producing SAF, yet there’s nitrogen in the upgraded biocrude, and it has to come out. Meanwhile, bad news, nitrogen in hydrotreated biocrude consists of a large variety of nitrogenated compounds: Amides and amines, but also non-basic and more refractory indoles, pyridines, pyrimidines, imidazole. Good news, Adsorptive De-Nitrogenation is […]

The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Membrane Separation Processes and Materials

August 6, 2024 | Jim Lane

Membrane-based separation processes can provide an energy and carbon-efficient alternative separation strategy for decarbonization of transportation and industry. However, the technology is not currently optimized for the bioprocessing industry and has scalability issues due to lack of mechanical strength, performance stability, fouling resistance. To address the challenges and opportunities, Meltem Urgun-Demirtas and Lauren Valentino of […]

The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to the State of Biogas and RNG

August 5, 2024 | Jim Lane

In this presentation, we explored the challenges faced in the transition to sustainable, available, reliable, affordable RNG and biogas. We look at the companies and technologies getting traction, new projects underway, the state of feedstocks, policy, the international situation, and the key trends. The Digest’s Jim Lane presented these slides as part of ABLC Connect.

The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Avantium PEF

August 2, 2024 | Jim Lane

The new clear plastic bottle — the opportunities range beyond finding biobased alternatives to the components of conventional PET plastic — there’s the higher-performing PEF polymer to consider, which is arriving after many years of development at commercial scale, soon. What are the applications, the partners, the timelines, the competitive edge? Avantium’s Bart Van Limpt […]

The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Bold Actions for Project Technology and Process Developers

August 1, 2024 | Jim Lane

How do we build a new globally optimized, massively scaled, highly efficient bio-based supply chain quickly enough to meet the bold goals set by the White House and the challenges of climate change, food security, national security, and sustainability? As Spruce Capital co-founder Roger Wyse observes, there have been few success stories to date. Here […]
