Sentences with word «isobutene»

Global Bioenergies is beginning the road - testing phase of renewable gasoline derived from its fermentative isobutene pathway.

Global Bioenergies and its partner Audi (earlier post) announced that the first batch of renewable gasoline using Global Bioenergies» fermentative isobutene pathway has been produced.

This combined with the versatility of isobutene as a chemical can greatly expand the applications for sustainably produced bio-ethanol, perhaps decreasing society's dependence on petroleum.

The industry has traditionally made a widely used chemical called isobutene — used in everything from plastic soda bottles to rubber tires — by superheating crude oil.

But in collaboration with the Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) Company, Wang and his colleagues developed a catalyst to convert bio-based ethanol, which is made from corn or other biomass, to isobutene in one easy production step.

The catalyst works on bio-based ethanol to create isobutene used in plastics and other products.

Global Bioenergies, founded in 2008, has developed a synthetic isobutene pathway that, when... Read more →

The first trials on the demo plant in Leuna were successfully completed, within schedule, in the fall of 2016 and Global Bioenergies announced first production of green isobutene via fermentation.

«Direct Conversion of Bio-ethanol to Isobutene on Nanosized ZnxZryOz Mixed Oxides with Balanced Acid - Base Sites.»

Global Bioenergies has developed a process to convert renewable resources into gaseous isobutene... Read more →

Global Bioenergies and Lanzatech strengthen cooperation to broaden feedstock flexibility of renewable isobutene process

Results: To turn bio-ethanol into chemicals that are typically made from petroleum, researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Washington State University have developed a new catalyst material that will convert the plant - derived alcohol into a chemical called isobutene.

But to the all but unpleasant surprise of the researchers they not only saw hydrogen in the resulting mix, but also quite a bit of isobutene.

Last week, Audi and its partner Global Bioenergies announced that the first batch of renewable isooctane — which Audi calls «e-benzin» — using Global Bioenergies» fermentative isobutene pathway (sugar → isobutene → isooctane) had been produced and presented to Audi by Global Bioenergies.

Global Bioenergies will use an EN228 - compliant gasoline blend containing more than 34 % of renewable, isobutene - derived, compounds to fuel a car on a circuit.

«Isobutene is a versatile chemical that could expand the applications for sustainably produced bio-ethanol,» said chemical engineer Dr. Yong Wang, who has a joint appointment at PNNL and WSU, and leads research efforts at both institutions.

She got me started by mentioning that both GE and Bosch purportedly offered models using climate - friendly hydrocarbon refrigerants - either R - 600a (isobutene) or R - 290 (propane)- which both have a very low global warming potential (GWP) of below 5.

The new standard allows household fridges and freezers to use up to 150 grams of hydrocarbon refrigerants like propane and isobutene, which is in line with the requirements that have allowed these products to proliferate safely around the world.
