The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Catalytic Upgrading of Biochemical Intermediates

September 28, 2023 | Jim Lane

The Catalytic Upgrading of Biochemical Intermediates (CUBI) project is a multi-lab effort within ChemCatBio (CCB) that is focused on improving the catalytic upgrading of intermediates from biochemical deconstruction and/or biological conversion (i.e. fermentation) to fuels and chemical co-products. This is accomplished by developing catalysts with improved performance and durability, mitigating the impact of biogenically-derived inhibitors […]

The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Thermochemical Platform Analysis

September 27, 2023 | Jim Lane

A recent DOE project aims to Improve Research Impacts by Providing Industrial Context, Maximize SAF and Heavy Fuels as Primary Products, Facilitate the Reuse of Existing Petroleum Refining Operations and mitigate scale-up risks feasible within lab/pilot research. NREL’s Abhijit Dutta gave the project overview and status via these slides presented at DOE’s Project Peer Review.

The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to accelerating the catalyst and process development cycle for bioenergy applications

September 26, 2023 | Jim Lane

ChemCatBio accelerates the development of catalytic technologies for converting biomass and waste resources into fuels and chemicals with a lower carbon footprint. From sustainable aviation fuel to bio-based marine fuel to renewable monomers for material manufacturing, the Chemical Catalysis for Bioenergy Consortium reduces the cost and time to move catalyst-driven technology from discovery to scale-up. […]

The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Carbon Dioxide Utilization Markets, Resources, and Environmental and Energy Justice

September 25, 2023 | Jim Lane

A new DOE project is quantifying resource availability and costs for CO2 utilization (CO2U) in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production to inform industry, technology communities, and policymakers on location-specific economic and societal impacts. It will provide insights to guide R&D efforts to achieve BETO’s decarbonization goals, SAFcost and production targets, while meeting DOE’s energy justice […]

The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Utilizing Electricity to Produce Intermediates from CO2 and Biomass

September 22, 2023 | Jim Lane

A recent DOE project analyzed promising bolt-on compatible CO2 reduction pathways to fuels or products from standalone biorefineries; Published a comprehensive strategic plan for achieving industrial decarbonization goals via CO2 conversion, with inclusion of outyear technical, cost, and carbon intensity targets, andis performing integrated TEA/LCA Analysis of CO2 conversion . NREL’s Gary Grim of the […]

The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to CO2 Reduction and Upgrading for e-Fuels Consortium

September 21, 2023 | Jim Lane

Commercial shipping and transportation expected to be difficult to electrify/decarbonize. Projected supply of traditional biomass feedstocks may be insufficient to fully meet global demand. CO2 as a feedstock could help meet SAF Grand Challenge. The CO2RUE consortium aims to develop technologies to upgrade CO2 to fuels and chemicals in order to reduce GHG emissions as […]

The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Systems Development and Integration – Emerging and Supporting Technologies

September 20, 2023 | Jim Lane

SDI directly supports BETO’s strategic goal to decarbonize the transportation sector through R,D, &D to produce cost-effective, sustainable aviation and other strategic fuels – By 2030, SDI aims to support scale-up of multiple biofuel production pathways with a focus on sustainable aviation fuels capable of >70% GHG reduction by enabling the construction and operation of […]

The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Separations and Performance Advantaged Bioproducts

September 15, 2023 | Jim Lane

The DOE Bioenergy Technologies Office seeks in its separations strategy to support scale-up of sustainable aviation fuels and other biofuels with >70% reduction in GHG emissions relative to petroleum; enable commercial production of 10+ renewable chemicals and materials with >70% GHG reduction relative to relevant petroleum-derived counterparts; and, enable 1+ cost-effective and recyclable bio-based plastic […]

The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Organic Waste

September 14, 2023 | Jim Lane

Food waste, sewage sludge, animal manure, fats, oils & greases. Odious materials, often available in large quantities, and certainly not in most cases in high demand, and as much as 458 pounds per person per year in total feedstock availability. BETO has developed a multi-pronged strategy to anage these economic, environmental and social liabilities; convert […]
