Process Modeling Results of Bio-Syntrolysis: Converting Biomass to Liquid Fuel with High Temperature Steam Electrolysis

Hawkes G.L., McKellar M.G., Wood R., Plum M., Idaho National Laboratory, US

A new process called Bio-Syntrolysis is being researched at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) investigating syngas production from renewable biomass that is assisted with high temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE). The INL is the world leader [...]

High-Yield Chemical Conversion of Biomass into Biofuels and Value-Added Products

Mascal M., Nikitin E.B., University of California Davis, US

We have developed a new method to efficiently convert waste biomass (agricultural, municipal forestry) into biofuels and value-added products. The process is completely chemical in nature, inexpensive, and produces no waste stream. The derived products [...]

Non bacterial way of production of alcohols and biofuel

Gorakavi P.K., Gorakavi P.K., University college of Technology, Osmania University, IN

Biofuel which is currently being produced through a variety of bacterial uses can be replaced by a much more faster and economical process of production which involves production in laboratory with ot using metabolism. This [...]

Renewable Energy Strategies for non-RPS States

Hill B., Fleming S., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

Oral presentation. Renewable energy can succeed in non-RPS states. Second generation renewable fuels offer a viable market beachhead for the introduction and development of renewable energy businesses in non-RPS states, particularly the Southeastern United States. [...]

Operating Conditions of Binary Mixtures of Biomass Wastes in Spouted Bed Contactors for Using Energy

San José M.J., Alvarez S., López L.B., Garcia I., Universidad del Pais Vasco, ES

Due to the increasing costs of fossil fuels, interest has grown in the use of renewable energy. Spouted bed technology is suitable for the thermal treatment of biomass by combustion and by pyrolysis. Therefore, it [...]

A review: Comprehensive comparison of corn-based and cellulosic-based ethanol as biofuel sources

Hoover F., Abraham J., University of St. Thomas, US

This study reviewed literature on corn and cellulosic ethanol for their potential to replace petroleum fuels. Metrics include: energy yield, cropland requirements, and pollution reduction. The key findings are that an agreement exists among the [...]

Improvement of Hydrogen Production by Immobilized Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009 Using Reverse Micelles as Microreactor

Singh A., Misra K., Rice University, US

Within the process of photobiological hydrogen production, purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria are an interesting subject of study because of their high substrate conversion efficiencies and their capability of using a wide variety of substrates either [...]

Reburning of Cattle Biomass with Coals for Emissions Control

Oh H., Annamalai K., Sweeten J.M., Texas A&M University, US

Biomass fuels can subdivided into two classes: agricultural (AgB) and Animal waste (AnB). The AnB includes cattle manure or cattle biomass (CB), Poultry Litter or poultry biomass (PB), Hog biomass (HB) etc. Since the chemical [...]

Non Bacterial Way for Production of Biofuel for Jet Engines

Gorakavi P.K., Osmania University, IN

Production of a biofuel for jet engines is a priority research topic. Construction of similar chemical composition as that of the existing jet fuels is of absolute requirement. A similar production technique of producing the [...]
