SAFFiRE Renewables is gearing up to launch its pilot biofuel plant this year! The plant will use the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) innovative deacetylation and mechanical refining (DMR) process to produce cellulosic ethanol from agricultural waste! Ultimately, ethanol made at the plant, operated by Conestoga Energy, can be upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using LanzaJet’s alcohol-to-jet technology✈️ Estimates suggest the resulting SAF will have a carbon footprint at least 83% lower than conventional jet fuel. Learn more about NREL’s patent-pending DMR technology and how the pilot plant—supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office and Southwest Airlines—plans to make biofuel production more efficient and sustainable!

𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐒 💡   At FincoEnergies, we're dedicated to exploring new renewable energy solutions and are proud to participate, together with GoodFuels, in the EU-funded CAPTUS Project.     🔸  Why is this project important?   To combat global climate change, it's essential to switch to low-carbon energy systems. The goal of the project is to demonstrate sustainable and scalable pathways to develop high value energy carriers by using industrial carbon emissions and by integrating renewable electricity surplus.  The project reflects a promising strategy that will help energy-intensive industries meet their emission reduction goals. It will also contribute in meeting the demand for #sustainablefuels in the transport sector. 🔸 What is our role in this project? Our role in the project is to develop strategies for the exploitation of the results and facilitate the adoption of these solutions into the market. So far, four scientific publications by the partner Universidad de Cantabria have been released, highlighting the project's progress and the potential of its outcomes.      🔸 What's next? Three complete renewable energy carrier (REC) value chains will be demonstrated at three different sites: 🔬 A bioprocess to produce triglycerides (a primary component of vegetable oils and animal fats used in the production of biodiesel) starting from CO2 in a steel plant;     🌿 Cultivation of lipids-rich microalgae, followed by hydrothermal liquefaction (a process that converts wet biomass into stable oil using hot, pressurised water) to produce bio-oils in a chemical plant;    ⚡️Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to produce formic acid (a promising organic liquid hydrogen carrier) in a cement plant. The Captus consortium will tailor carbon capture technologies for each plant, evaluate the quality of the generated energy products, optimise processes and develop business models for future adoption.    → Learn more about the project and access the publications › https://lnkd.in/dcKfcyPz   #RenewableEnergy #RenewableFuels #Partnerships #GoodFuels #FincoEnergies

Full Prep Mode: The Future of Green Methanol At the Montauk Renewables, Inc. RNG production site in Humble, Texas, preparations are underway for our pilot to transform biogas into carbon-negative green methanol. Our CEO, Emmanuel Kasseris, PhD, was onsite planning the installation—a critical step in demonstrating how Emvolon's modular technology can convert emissions into valuable, transportable fuels and chemicals while eliminating the need for costly pipelines. This is how we’re redefining emissions conversion and powering a more sustainable future. #GreenMethanol #CarbonNegative #Innovation #Sustainability

Energy Independence: By adding OFMSW, the Rovereto WWTP was able to generate 85% of its own electricity, which is a substantial improvement over the prior 50%. A sustainable future: By integrating co-digestion, the plant's position in a sustainable circular economy is strengthened and its reliance on outside energy sources is decreased, compliant with environmentally friendly regulations. In order to overcome the technological difficulties and the fluctuations in waste composition, co-digestion optimization requires ongoing research and development. Sharing information and experiences amongst facilities around the world can increase scalability and effectiveness and inspire new ideas.

Maximizing Renewable Energy Through Large-Scale Co-Digestion: A Data-Driven Approach In sustainable energy solutions, large-scale co-digestion emerges as a potent strategy that leverages the synergy of diverse waste streams to boost methane production and enhance overall facility efficiency. Here’s an in-depth look at how co-digestion is being implemented globally and the tangible benefits it brings, underpinned by rigorous data. Strategic Advantages of Co-Digestion: • Cost Efficiency and Equipment Utilization: By adapting existing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to handle multiple types of waste, we optimize both capital and operational expenses. This approach not only extends the functionality of current facilities but also increases their throughput without proportionate increases in costs. Data Insights from Global Implementations: • Munich, Germany: The Grüneck WWTP reported a 16% increase in energy production simply by adding 5.5 v/d of food waste. • Tyrol, Austria: Zirl WWTP saw a dramatic 174% rise in biogas production with an OLR increase from 1.17 to 2.18 kg VS/m³ d, significantly surpassing the plant’s energy demand. Challenges and Operational Insights: • Flexibility and Adaptation: Implementing co-digestion requires modifications for pre-treatment and substrate integration. For example, the Viareggio and Treviso WWTPs in Italy increased biogas production by 50% through careful adjustment of organic loadings. • Operational Challenges: Despite the benefits, co-digestion can introduce complexities such as increased maintenance needs, as seen in Lansdowne, Canada, where manual interventions were necessary to manage clogs and maintain system efficiency. Economic and Environmental Impact: • Energy Self-Sufficiency: At the Rovereto WWTP, the addition of OFMSW enabled 85% electricity self-generation, a significant improvement over the previous 50%. • Sustainability: The integration of co-digestion reduces the dependency on external energy sources, aligning with eco-friendly policies and enhancing the plant’s role in a sustainable circular economy. The journey towards optimizing co-digestion involves continuous research and development to address the variability in waste composition and other technical challenges. Sharing data and experiences across facilities globally can spur further innovations and improve scalability and effectiveness. #Biogas #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #WasteToEnergy #CoDigestion #EnergyPolicy #CircularEconomy info and data source - mdpi.com
