Michigan State University partners with ExxonMobil to improve algal biofuels

Plantations International Information A new $ 1 million (appr. EUR890,000) connection in between Michigan State University (MSU) and also ExxonMobil will certainly increase research study developed to advance the essential scientific research required to progress algae-based fuels. The general objective of the partnership is to enhance the effectiveness of photosynthesis in microalgae to create biofuels and bioproducts. The trick to bioenergy is the effectiveness of photosynthesis, the procedure algae usage to record solar power and also the very first step in converting the power from the sun into a fluid gas. Previous research has actually shown that algae photosynthesis can be [...]

Biofat job demonstrates algae’s capacity for biofuels production

Plantations International Information The Biofat project, a microalgae-to-biofuel FP7 demo task, has confirmed algae's capacity as a sustainable biofuel source with reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The job has focused on improving as well as demonstrating sustainability in the process, taking into consideration both ecological (e.g. usage of aquatic pressures to restrict freshwater use) as well as economic (e.g. low time consumption) problems. 2 1.5 hectare pilot-scale establishments have been built for the project in Italy and also Portugal, as well as a scaled-up 10-hectare demonstration plant is in the lasts of building. The plants have demonstrated how the algae-to-biofuel procedure [...]

Algenol to produce biofuels and decrease CO2 exhausts in China

Plantations International News US-based Algenol has actually executed a memorandum of comprehending MOU South China's Fujian Zhongyuan New Power Firm (ZYNE) to create tasks throughout Southern China, using carbon exhausts to create eco-friendly energies. The goal of the 2 companies' participation is to give solutions for accessing clean air, cleaning water, and also providing sustainable gases, the 3 major obstacle China is encountering today. Under the structure of the US-- China Environment Change Working Team, there is a global effort to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Algenol's trademarked Direct to Ethanol innovation process utilises industrial CO2 exhausts straight from power plants as [...]

Report: Biofuels ability to increase to 61 BGY in 2018

Plantations International Information International biofuels capability will increase to 61 billion gallons per year (BGY) in 2018, up from 55.1 BGY in 2014. Ethanol and also biodiesel will remain to dominate with 96 percent of the capability in 2018, but novel energies as well as unique feedstocks will be significant drivers of capacity development, according to Lux Research. Novel fuels as well as novel feedstocks will expand at a rapid 27 percent and 16 percent substance annual growth rate (CAGR), respectively, via 2018. Ethanol as well as biodiesel will expand at a slower 2 percent price however will certainly get to [...]

Research: Biofuels capability to grow to 61bln gallons a year in 2018

Plantations International News Worldwide biofuels capability will grow to 61 billion gallons each year (BGY) in 2018, up from 55.1 BGY in 2014, according to Lux Research study. Ethanol as well as biodiesel will certainly remain to dominate with 96 % of the ability in 2018, yet unique fuels and also unique feedstocks will certainly be major vehicle drivers of ability growth. Novel fuels and unique feedstocks will increase at a rapid 27 % and also 16 % compound annual growth price (CAGR), respectively, with 2018. Ethanol as well as biodiesel will certainly grow at a slower 2 % price but [...]

Universal Biofuels converts bulk customers to B100 in India

Plantations International News Biodiesel produced by Universal Biofuels, an Indian subsidiary of Aemetis, has been used by bulk customers to replace 100% petroleum diesel with 100% distilled biodiesel (B100), reducing emissions by 80% and providing cost savings to customers. Traditionally, in Europe and in the United States, biodiesel is blended in the range of 5% to 20% with petroleum diesel due to colder temperature conditions. With southern and western India’s tropical climate, Aemetis led the introduction of B100 in truck, bus, taxi, and stationary generator sectors as a 100% replacement of petroleum diesel. ‘We are excited to lead the replacement of [...]
