In this presentation from ABLC 2024, Aether Fuels CEO COnor Madigan outlined a goal to develop the lowest cost, highest yield, and most feedstock flexible platform for sustainable hydrocarbons, incubated by Xora Innovation is an early-stage deep tech investment platform of Temasek, based on novel catalysts, equipment, and process flow that “dramatically reduces CapEx and […]
The BioFore company, the Finnish Forest Giant, the hydrocarbons from the woods folk, by any name this forest products company has made a splash with its hydrocarbons from wood technologies and a successful leap to commercial scale — all the markets, technologies, sources of revenues, trends, lines of business — from a wood basket outlook […]
The new Billion Ton Study is out and Oak Ridge’s Matt Langholtz has the highlights in this ABLC 2024 presentation. He noted that the bioeconomy currently provides 340 million tons biomass; that currently available resources can double biomass in the near term; that a mature market induces another 440-800 million tons of biomass depending on […]
From hairspray propellant to chemical commodity In this presentation by Jan-Willem Konemann of TNO, we learn about Sorption Enhanced DME Synthesis, which can transform the conversion efficiency of DME production from CO2 by a factor of 15 by removing water in-situ.
A government-led, multi-stakeholder initiative aimed to promote international coordination on the sustainable low-carbon bioeconomy. The BioFuture Platform aims to promote technology cooperation and constructive policies; to forge consensus on biomass sustainability, availability and governance (sustainability workstream); and, to develop supportive financing mechanisms. Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Keith L. Kline presented these slides on behalf of […]
In this presentation from the most recent Digest Webinar on the Ethanol Decarbonization Revolution Value, National Corn Growers Association board member Kelly Nieuwenhuis presented these slides the Nieuwenhuis Farming Operation, with illustrations of the deployment of wind power generation, advanced harvesting and the tilling perspective.
In this presentation from the most recent Digest Webinar on the Ethanol Decarbonization Revolution Value, PROtect VP Andrea Foglesong presented these slides on building out a carbon reduction strategy, looking for big reducers (CCS, CHP, RNG); immediate impacts (enzymes, thermal coating, energy efficiencies); plus, regulatory program implementation, cohesion, and compliance.
In this presentation from the most recent Digest Webinar on the Ethanol Decarbonization Revolution Value, Whitefox CEO Gillian Harrison presented these slides on the importance of focussing on Scope 1 Emissions, Whitefox ICE Solutions – as an approach to CI Score Reduction, and natural gas reduction within the Inflation Reduction Act
Gasification of biomass continues to be an area of high challenge and high opportunity in the bioeconomy as the industry searches for a reliable system for handling wastes and residues (not nicely cut woodchips) at commercial-scale, for feeding into high pressure reactors. Problems such as arching and ratholing have impacted the success rates of feed […]
Virent has two hot technology pathways for the bioeconomy — Sugars to Aromatics – S2A, which Virent, Marathon and Johnson Matthey (JM) are working together on commercializing globally. And, Ethanol to Aromatics – E2A, producing the same products as S2A, plus hydrogen and LPG, currently at demonstration scale. Virent CEO Dave Kettner presented these slides […]
