Three Dimensional Timberlands LLC is devoting its resources to the development of biomass pyrolysis facilities to produce biochar and bio-oil in Oregon, as well as ensuring the sustainable woody feedstock to supply them.
LS9 Inc. and partner HCL CleanTech Ltd. have been awarded a $9 million grant from the U.S. DOE to improve and demonstrate an integrated process to convert biomass feedstocks into fermentable sugars, and then subsequently into diesel and chemicals.
Beginning in August, the buses will run on a 10 percent blend of Amyris renewable diesel, with the rest made up of biodiesel and petroleum diesel supplied by Petrobras Distribuidora. Amyris' supply contract with Petrobras extends through 2012.
Lignol Innovations Inc. has reached an agreement with the DOE to discontinue work of a proposed 2.5 MMgy cellulosic ethanol demonstration-scale project in Grand Junction, Colo., and will pursue commercial development without government assistance.
Codexis wants to be ready when the demand for cellulosic biofuels truly ramps up. The company scaled up production of its cellulase enzymes at a contract fermentation and synthesis production facility in Mexico City, where the CodeXporter is at work.
BIO sent a letter to Sens. Dianne Feinstein, Amy Klobuchar and John Thune, thanking them for supportive, stable policies for advanced biofuels included in the announced deal on the repeal of VEETC, but it noted small changes are still necessary.
A team of students at Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute has been awarded first place in the 2011 Renewable Energy Challenge Competition with its algae biofuel project. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Argonne lab sponsored the competition.
It's a one-step catalytic (not Fischer-Tropsch) process that's capable of converting MSW and syngas into liquid hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals. The technology evolved from collaborative research by MSU's SERC and chemical engineering department.
The combined $175 million in investment funds will enable Sundrop to expand its operations and begin construction next year of a commercial demonstration facility to produce 40 MMgy of cellulosic gasoline, with production expected for 2014.
The companies are joining Clariant's market knowledge and formulation development capabilities with Elevance's unique renewable products and patented process technology in order to commercialize renewable additives for plastics.
The Wayne County Airport Authority is the operator of the Detroit Metropolitan Airport and the Willow Run Airport, each using more than 1 million gallons of fuel daily in planes and ground equipment. On 1,700 acres, the authority plans to grow fuel.
