The Talbott’s Bio Junior and Bio Senior biomass boilers offered by the company use different biomass fuels including agricultural and forest residues, wood pellets, wood chips and energy crops such as Miscantus and coppiced willow.
Cobalt Technologies, a company engaged in marketing biobutanol as a renewable fuel and chemical, has announced the feasibility of producing biobutanol using beetle-killed lodge-pole pine as a raw material. Cobalt is said to be the pioneer to develop an alternative for petroleum and petrochemical products by utilizing beetle-killed lodgepole pine. The company has entered into a fuel testing arrangement with Colorado State University for understanding the viability of biobutanol fuel production for use in commercial vehicles.
Biofuels technology development firm HCL CleanTech has chosen Southern Research Institute located in North Carolina, U.S., as the operator and hosting site of its pilot-scale facility.
The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has been awarded nearly $18 million from the Recovery Act to build an advanced biofuels process development facility. Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), this new facility will help expedite the commercialization of next generation biofuels by providing industry-scale test beds for innovative technologies. Called the Advanced Biofuels Process Development Unit (PDU), it will be the only facility of its kind available for public use.
The top awards in the third annual Clean Technology Business Forum and Competition went to Avantium, the developer of a technology for creating polymers and fuels from biomass, and VAST Enterprises LLC, creator of a new type of masonry based on post-consumer plastics, it was announced today by the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE).
According to a latest World Health Organization report about 1.6.million people die every year due to indoor air pollution induced by the use of wood, crop waste, coal or dung as fuels for cooking.
The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, also known as Berkeley Lab, has recently received a contract worth about $18 million as part of the Recovery Act for building a facility meant for the processing and development of sophisticated biofuels. This facility is funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) of the U.S. via its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). This novel facility is meant to assist in marketing the latest type of biofuels by providing the modern testing services for upcoming technologies. This Advanced Biofuels Process Development Unit (PDU) is said to be the one and only facility of its type that is open for public usage.
Autodesk, Inc., a company engaged in the production of 2D and 3D design, entertainment, and engineering software, has reportedly announced the industrious use of its Autodesk Inventor software by Springboard Biodiesel, a private company engaged in the small-scale biodiesel treating segment.
The technology company 3M has signed a one-year agreement with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the U.S. Department of Energy to carry out a series of investigations in three main domains of innovation, namely, biofuels – finding methods that will replace distillation of ethanol biofuels by using less water and energy while increasing the capacity of future plants that will produce cellulosic ethanol; thin-film photovoltaics – developing water-proof films and pliable packaging for copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGD) solar cells to enhance output and bring down production costs; and concentrating solar energy – fabricating protective reflective coatings for cheap mirrors so that they become more efficient in concentrating solar power.
A revolutionary technology has emerged from years of research to produce isoprene, a key ingredient in tires, without using petroleum products.
