The castor, jatropha, pongamia strategy - pannirbr@gmail.com - Gmail - 0 views

  •  
    "he Digest investigates.   In science, there exists the difficulty in developing a new energy crop -  improving yields and stress tolerance, identifying the right geographies for deployment, developing and sharing the agricultural practices and training, and so on.  A number of new energy crops and residues have been brought along by companies such as Agrisoma, SGB, Yulex, Ceres, Chromatin, NexSteppe and more, despite the odds. But there also has been the difficulty in developing an economic model for deployment, that proves more attractive and safe than the "here's your seed, get going" approach that has proven uninspiring to local growers. So, along comes Bosques Energeticos.  In fact, that's what the Bosques multi-year, multi-crop strategy is all about. In their model, growers plant castor as a lower-value, but relatively instantaneous oilseed cash crop - at the same time as jatropha is planted for the mid-term, and pongamia is planted for the long-term. In today's Digest we look at: What's different about Bosques - Legendary's interest - Pon-What? - Following the agronomy - improving yields and speed, margins and yields - the models, the next steps and The Bottom Line - at biofuelsdigest.com.      REG- Developing next-generation biofuels - investing in technology VecoPlan - shredding, conveying, screening, separating, storing The Latest in Brief   Turkey blocks US DDGS due to GMOs In Turkey, the country is effectively no longer accepting imports of U.S. corn coproducts following the stepped-up enforcement of existing biosafety laws that restrict which genetically modified (GM) corn varieties may enter the country's grain supply. As of Dec. 8, three shipments of U.S. distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) have been rejected following the detection of unapproved GM events, and for the same reason at least one other vessel of U.S. DDGS has been diverted from Turkey to another buyer while on the water.   Maine towns take first step in developi

Abstract The objective of this project was to investigate and demonstrate production methods at a continuous, bench-scale level and generate sufficient material for an initial evaluation of a potentially profitable method of producing bioenergy and sequestering carbon. The novel process uses agricultural, forestry, and waste biomass to produce hydrogen using pyrolysis and reforming technologies conducted in a 50 kg/h pilot demonstration. The test runs produced a novel, nitrogen-enriched, slow-release, carbon-sequestering fertilizer. Seven kilograms of the material were produced for further plant growth response testing. A pyrolysis temperature profile was discovered that results in a carbon char with an affinity for capturing CO2 through gas phase reaction with mixed nitrogen-carrying nutrient compounds within the pore structures of the carbon char. A bench-scale project demonstrated a continuous process fluidized-bed agglomerating process. The total amount of CO2 sequestration was managed by controlling particle discharge rates based on density. The patent-pending process is particularly applicable to fossil-fuel power plants as it also removes SOx and NOx, does not require ene

According to an article [*.pdf] in the August issue of Microbiology Today , this technology has an added bonus: leftover enzymes can be used to scavenge precious metals from spent automotive catalysts to help make fuel cells that convert hydrogen into energy. Hydrogen has three times more potential energy by weight than petrol, making it the highest energy-content fuel available. Research into using bacteria to produce hydrogen from waste biomass has been revived thanks to the rising profile of energy issues. According to the researchers, the UK throws away a third of its food, wasting 7 million tonnes a year. The majority of this is currently sent to landfill where it produces gases like methane, which is a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Following some major advances in the technology used to make biohydrogen, this waste can now be turned into valuable energy. Two-stage process There are special and yet prevalent circumstances under which micro-organisms have no better way of gaining energy than to release hydrogen into their environment. Microbes such as heterotrophs, cyanobacteria, microalgae and purple bacteria all produce biohydrogen in different ways, says Dr Mark Redwood from the University of Birmingham. When there is no oxygen, fermentative bacteria use carbohydrates like sugar to produce hydrogen and

Carbon Dioxide Removal - RTI International - 0 views

  •  
    arbon Dioxide Removal Print Page Fossil fuels are the primary sources of carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. Much of the anticipated worldwide effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions will focus on large point sources such as power plants and petroleum refineries. To contribute to this effort, RTI is actively engaged in a research and development project to develop a new process for removing carbon dioxide from industrial gas streams. RTI's process uses a solid, regenerable, sodium-based adsorbent to remove carbon dioxide from flue gases that fuel power plants. The regeneration of this sorbent produces a gas stream containing only carbon dioxide and water. Condensation separates the water out, leaving a pure carbon dioxide stream that can be used or sequestered. One of the relevant reactions based upon the use of sodium bicarbonate as the sorbent precursor is as follows: 2NaHCO3(s) Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g) RTI has developed a 2-reactor system for removing the carbon dioxide. Both the adsorption of carbon dioxide and regeneration of the sorbent take place at low temperature (under 150°C). Laboratory experiments at RTI have demonstrated multiple cycles of the adsorption and regeneration phases. In addition, we have developed process information on * Effect of operating conditions * Effect of other feed stream components * Reaction kinetics * Heat and material balances from proc

  • Output A few kW for 4 to 8 hours with an air door opening 20 to 30 mm. The burn rate increases near the end of the sawdust charge, as the burning core expands out to reach the inner container walls. Up to 7 kW can be produced, but at this output the case glows red-hot, so inflammables must be kept well away, and the fuel charge does not last long. Figure 2: Removable inner bin with hole through to air chamber below (H Bland) [top] [end]Operation The heater comprises two concentric bins. The removable inner bin has a hole through the bottom to the air chamber below. This allows hot gases to be drawn upwards through the hole to where combustion occurs. The hot gases are then drawn downwards between the inner and outer walls of the heating stove, providing good heat exchange to the room as they pass between the two chambers before passing out of the room through a flue (Figures 1 & 2). [top] [end]Fuel range Sawdust is best. Shavings or chip-pings will work provided they do not collapse down the airway. They work better mixed with sawdust, but have the effect of making it burn faster and hotter.

Effect of catalyst on yield of liquid products from biomass via pyrolysis - 0 views

  •  
    The pyrolysis of biomass is a thermal treatment that results in the production of charcoal, liquid, and gaseous products. Among the liquid products, methanol is one of the most valuable products. Methanol can be used as one possible gasoline replacement for conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. Methanol can be produced by pyrolysis of biomass. Methanol mainly arises from methoxyl groups of uronic acid and from the breakdown of methyl esters and/or ethers from decomposition of pectin-like plant materials. The maximum methanol yields (12.19% at 825 K) for hazelnut shell was obtained from a Na2CO3 (30% of dried sample) catalytic flash pyrolysis run. The yields of liquid products from the samples increased with an increasing of the amount of Na2CO3 from 10% to 30%. The maximum liquid yield from yellow pine was 51.2% at 875 K. The yields of liquid products from the samples depended on the amount of K2CO3 and the temperature. The maximum liquid yield from yellow pine was 49.5% from a 30% K2CO3 catalytic run at 875 K. The catalytic effect of Na2CO3 was slightly higher than that of K2CO3 for hazelnut shell, tea waste, and yellow pine samples.

Preparation of Hydrogen via Catalytic Gasification of Residues from Biomass Hydrolysis ... - 0 views

  •  
    Producing fuel alcohol via hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass leaves a considerable amount of residues waiting for treatment. A study was carried out on the preparation of hydrogen via catalytic gasification of residues from biomass hydrolysis with a novel Ni/modified dolomite binary catalyst, which was prepared by a two-step coprecipitation method and proved available for hydrogen production in terms of both activity and strength. The effects of four operation parameters, that is, the fluidized bed temperature, the catalytic fixed bed temperature, the particle size of the catalyst, and S/B (i.e., the mass ratio of steam to biomass material fed into the fluidized bed per unit time), on hydrogen yield were investigated. The results indicate that hydrogen yield increases with an increase in the temperature of either the fluidized bed or the downstream catalytic fixed bed or the S/B ratio or a reduction in the particle size of the catalyst. The optimum range for each of the four operation parameters from a comprehensive consideration is as follows: 800-850 °C for both the fluidized bed temperature and the catalytic fixed bed temperature, 1.5-2 for the S/B ratio, and 2.0-3.0 mm for the particle size of the catalyst. Furthermore, the gas product from catalytic gasification of residues from biomass hydrolysis contains less CO and CO2 and has a higher H2/CO ratio compared with that of the sawdust. The hydrogen yield of the former is also much higher than that of the latter. These suggest that residues from biomass hydrolysis are an even better gasification material than the original sawdust. This paper provides a novel effective method for modifying the calcined dolomite, which endows the catalyst with satisfactory strength while retaining high activity, and opens a new promising way for utilizing the residues from biomass hydrolysis.

  • The distillation of wood Charcoal is a useful by-product of wood obtained by the process of carbonization. Other valuable products can be obtained by treating wood in different ways. Destructive distillation (also known as pyrolysis or wood distillation) is similar to carbonization except that the wood is heated in a closed container and the gases and liquids given off are collected. Some of the gases can then be condensed to provide a range of useful chemicals; those that do not condense can be used as a gaseous fuel f
