KiOR, Inc., provided today an update on the operations at its Columbus, Mississippi, facility.
Gevo, Inc., the world's only commercial producer of bio-based isobutanol, today confirmed that Underwriter Laboratories (UL) has approved the generic use of up to 16% isobutanol in UL 87A pumps by any manufacturer meeting ASTM specifications, providing all of the service stations across the country with the assurance that isobutanol blended gasoline will work in their current gasoline pumps without the need to purchase new equipment.
Scientists at the University of York have made a significant step in the search to develop effective second generation biofuels. Researchers from the Department of Chemistry at York have discovered a family of enzymes that can degrade hard-to-digest biomass into its constituent sugars.
Engineers have created a continuous chemical process that produces useful crude oil minutes after they pour in harvested algae – a verdant green paste with the consistency of pea soup.
Power generation from Germany’s enormous biogas industry produces emissions to air that are regulated by the Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA Luft). As part of the approval process, the emissions from each plant have to be tested every three years. Formaldehyde is one of the pollutants of greatest concern because of its carcinogenicity and the TA Luft emission limit is 60 mg/m³.
Renewable Energy Group, Inc.® and Syntroleum Corporation announced today that they have entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which REG would acquire substantially all of the assets of Syntroleum Corporation, and assume substantially all of the material liabilities of Syntroleum.
Last evening CleanWorld, North America’s leading pioneer of anaerobic digestion technology and commercially viable zero waste solutions, was honored by California Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. for their Sacramento BioDigester project, the largest anaerobic digestion system of its kind in North America. The award recognizes CleanWorld’s project as “exceptional for its innovative spirit,” and “valuable in improving California’s environment and economy.”
An anaerobic digestion (“AD”) facility at Growing Power Hairy Hill L.P. (“Growing Power”) in Canada is utilizing Himark BioGas International’s (“Himark”) patented IMUS™ technology to digest 200 Tons/Day or 73,000 Tons/Year of municipal solid waste and organics (“MSW”) from residences and businesses in the metropolitan Edmonton region (suburban communities outside of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada such as Leduc, Beaumont, Devon and Sherwood Park) for conversion into renewable energy.
Sapphire Energy, Inc., one of the world leaders in algae-based Green Crude oil production, and Phillips 66, an integrated energy manufacturing and logistics company, announced a strategic joint development agreement aimed at taking production of algae crude oil a significant step toward commercialization.
The 2014 proposed rule for the Renewable Fuel Standard, which would for the first time cut biofuel use, will require using more petroleum and increase emissions of greenhouse gases. The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) utilized the GREET1.2013 model to estimate the changes in petroleum demand and the associated CO2 equivalent emissions from both 2013 and the statutory RFS levels for 2014.
