Clean Production of Bioplastic and Bio-oil from Solar Energy and Carbon Dioxide

Yu J., University of Hawaii at Manoa, US

Producing fuels and materials from solar energy and CO2 is a clean sustainable solution to the arising fossil energy consumption and CO2 emission. This paper presents a high intensity process that can run continuously at [...]

Waste Flue Gas CO to Innovative Biofuel Production

Holmgren J., LanzaTech, Inc., US

LanzaTech has developed a novel gas fermentation technology that can economically convert carbon monoxide containing gas with any amount of hydrogen to fuel and chemical products. The technology can process gas streams from industrial sources, [...]

Sweet Sorghum Biorefinery for Production of Fuel Ethanol and Value-added Co-products

Nghiem N.P., Nguyen C.M., Drapcho C.M., Walker T.H., USDA Agricultural Research Service, US

A biorefinery has been developed where all carbohydrate components of sweet sorghum are used as feedstocks. First, the juice is extracted from the stalks. The resulted straw then is pretreated using the soaking in aqueous [...]

Low-cost, concentrated sugar production from lignocellulosic feedstocks

Mohapatra S., Hemyeri R., Manesh A., American Science and Technology Corporation, US

In the last few years, sugar is emerged as the main feedstock to derive several potential biofuels and chemicals. Most of these chemicals can be used to replace petrochemical fuels. The cost availability of these [...]

Use of Bio-Diesel as an Alternative Fuel and its Effects on Environment

Mehta D.P., Vennapureddy A., Bradley University, US

First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. Stored internal energy of fuels can be released chemically during combustion for doing [...]

Innovative Technology for Algae Dewatering

Hsieh H.B., Chang N., Melde K., Kole A., PARC, a Xerox company, US

This paper describes a novel technology for dewatering of algae for biofuel production and other applications. This hydrodynamic separation (HDS) technology uses customized fluid flow patterns in a curved channel to focus suspended particles into [...]

Interaction of Light, Geothermal Water and Nutrients on Biomass Production of Chlorella sorokiniana Microalgae (CS-101)

Rastegary J., New Mexico State University, US

Little, if any, published data exist on growing algae in geothermal water. Geothermal water is a source of water rich in nutrient content and can be used for biofuel production. In this study geothermal water [...]
