Liquid biofuel production must grow ten-fold.

Not exact matches

«This is the first time I have heard of anybody using biomass to make ionic liquids,» says George Huber, who investigates biofuel production at University of Wisconsin - Madison.

Ionic liquids — salts that are liquid at room temperature — could potentially be made more cheaply and greenly by recycling by - products from biofuel production processes, according to US researchers.

«Using by - product from biofuel production to convert it into ionic liquids closes the loop and make the process sustainable, non-toxic and much cheaper than petroleum - based ionic liquids.»

Efforts to make isobutanol from bacteria alone have been underway since 2000 when the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) began distributing grants to universities that could demonstrate successful production of liquid biofuels.

Because the salt solvent, known as ionic liquids, interferes with later stages in biofuels production, it needs to be removed before proceeding, a process that takes time and money.

But what makes ionic liquids great for deconstruction also makes it harmful for the downstream enzymes and bacteria used in biofuel production.

These findings have significance for human health but also for biofuels production, since the same sugars can be fed to yeast to generate ethanol and other liquid fuels.

JBEI scientists have shown that adding carbon dioxide gas during the deconstruction phase of biofuel production successfully neutralized the toxicity of ionic liquids.

Biofuels Digest covered how JBEI researchers have demonstrated that adding carbon dioxide (CO2) gas during the deconstruction phase of biofuel production successfully neutralized the toxicity of ionic liquids.

Of this, 1.3 mb / d, or 60 %, has come from natural gas liquids and biofuels, which really shouldn't be added to conventional crude production for purposes of calculating the available supply.

Bush's proposal would be to increase our level of biofuels production by 35 billion gallons in the next 10 years (although some have informed me that this is actually for all alternative fuels, which would include coal to liquids).

However, this decrease is expected to be more than offset by rising production from a variety of emerging supply sources — including tight oil, deepwater, oil sands, natural gas liquids and biofuels.

Some of these are addressed in the present issue: the geopolitics of peak oil (John Bellamy Foster), the production of biofuels as a liquid fuel alternative and its consequences (Fred Magdoff), the economics of climate change (Minqi Li), the science of climate change (John W. Farley), the ocean crisis (Brett Clark and Rebecca Clausen), the problem of large dams (Rohan D'Souza), and the world water crisis (Maude Barlow).

EIA says U.S. liquid fuels production — including crude oil, hydrocarbon gas liquids, biofuels and refinery processing gain — grew by more than 4 million barrels per day (bpd) from January 2011 to July 2014.

The report warned that increasing production of liquid biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, could increase the price of agricultural commodities with negative economic and social impacts, especially for the world's poor who spend a large proportion of income on food.

To satisfy the increase in world liquids demand in the Reference case, liquids production increases by 28.3 million barrels per day from 2010 to 2040, including the production of both petroleum (crude oil and lease condensate, natural gas plant [NGPL], bitumen, extra-heavy oil, and refinery gains), and other liquid fuels (coal - to - liquids [CTL], gas - to - liquids [GTL], biofuels, and kerogen).

Such second - generation liquid biofuels produced from woody biomass rather than from food crops would also reduce competition with food production.

Other factors may reduce demand on forests for energy production, for example, technological problems with liquid cellulosic biofuel production and transportation - related constraints.

The development of economically competitive technology for the production of liquid cellulosic biofuels will cause a major shift in the importance of wood energy.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration includes the following in U.S. primary energy production: coal production, waste coal supplied, and coal refuse recovery; crude oil and lease condensate production; natural gas plant liquids production; dry natural gas excluding supplemental gaseous fuels production; nuclear electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the nuclear plant heat rates); conventional hydroelectricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates); geothermal electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates), and geothermal heat pump energy and geothermal direct use energy; solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates), and solar thermal direct use energy; wind electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates); wood and wood - derived fuels consumption; biomass waste consumption; and biofuels feedstock.

The project will be a joint affair between Qatar Airways, Qatar Science & Technology Park, and Qatar Petroleum: Based on feasibility studies on biomass - to - liquid jet fuel (think: second - generation biofuels) done by Seattle's Verno Systems, the trio have established the Qatar Advanced Biofuel Platform which will be active in the following areas developing: 1) an engineering and implementation plan for «economically viable and sustainable biofuel production»; 2) a biofuel investment strategy; 3) an advanced technology development program; 4) ongoing market and strategic anBiofuel Platform which will be active in the following areas developing: 1) an engineering and implementation plan for «economically viable and sustainable biofuel production»; 2) a biofuel investment strategy; 3) an advanced technology development program; 4) ongoing market and strategic anbiofuel production»; 2) a biofuel investment strategy; 3) an advanced technology development program; 4) ongoing market and strategic anbiofuel investment strategy; 3) an advanced technology development program; 4) ongoing market and strategic analysis.

Renewable energy policies, for example, are estimated to have saved around 96 Mt of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2005 by increasing renewable electricity production in the 25 EU countries four-fold between 1990 and 2005, and boosting production of renewable heat and liquid biofuels for transport by 20 %.
