In Germany, together with its partners, Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology IEE is paving the way for the establishment of large-scale production of green hydrogen and its downstream products in Chile. The project’s research focuses on the production potential of hydrogen and liquid fuels from solar energy. In addition to technical […]
In the UK, a study published in IOP Publishing’s journal Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability has found that green ammonia could be used to fulfil the fuel demands of over 60% of global shipping by targeting just the top 10 regional fuel ports. Researchers at the University of Oxford looked at the production costs of […]
In Kentucky, researchers at the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) and the Department of Chemistry have received a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to advance their innovative biofuels research. The project is titled “Robust Engineered Catalysts for the Conversion of Waste Oleaginous Biomass Feedstocks to Fuel-like […]
In South Dakota, new study from researchers at South Dakota State University has demonstrated how a transparent and strong biodegradable film can be derived from switchgrass (Pancium virgatum), a perennial prairie tallgrass native to North America. In the United States, switchgrass grows abundantly and in a variety of different climates, making it a valuable resource […]
In China, Macau Business reported that Chinese scientists have developed new technology allowing the manufacture of biodiesel fuel with higher biomass content, which could reach over 40% compared with the global average content of less than 10% Shen Jian, a professor at Nanjing Normal University’s School of Chemistry and Materials Science, and his team improved […]
In the UK, Green Car Congress reported that a study by a team from the University of Birmingham found that low-carbon bio-alcohols and bio-ketones in advanced clean propulsion systems demonstrate a high potential for strategies for vehicular emissions abatement, such as their utilization in hybrid vehicles. In the short term, the researchers conclude, this will […]
In North Dakota, Biodiesel Magazine reported that the USDA recently awarded two Delaware State University researchers a three-year just under $300,000 grant for a project that could leverage the properties of microalgae toward energy and cancer treatment purposes. The research is being led by Ali Parsaeimehr, Principal Investigator (PI) and DSU Postdoctoral Researcher, and Gulnihal […]
In North Dakota, Biomass Magazine reported that a research supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), a team of scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Gross-Wen Technologies, and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago examined the unique properties of phosphorus uptake in the algal strains living in […]
In the UK, Package Gateway reported that LyondellBasell and Pigeon Singapore have partnered to advance sustainable research and development efforts in baby nursing bottles. The report noted that the partnership aims to transition away from using 100% virgin polypropylene resins in the production of Pigeon nursing bottles. Pigeon is introducing a renewed series of nursing […]
In the UK, World Bio Market Insights reported that researchers at Wood K Plus, a research institute based in Austria, have successfully transformed wood polymer composites (WPC) into high-quality silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics, offering improved sustainability for the production of high-performance, high-temperature parts in power turbines and jet engines. The breakthrough, part of the BioC4HiTech […]
