Cleveland-based quasar energy group uses organic waste to produce a renewable energy source known as biogas which is converted then into Compressed natural gas (CNG) one of two fuels that can power the 2015 Chevrolet Bi-fuel Impala.
Biogas is the raw mixture of gases given off by the breakdown of organic materials kept in an oxygen-less environment.
Since biogas can be made from most organic materials quasar insources raw materials otherwise considered waste from a variety of industries.
and water to synthesis gas (syngas) in a high-temperature solar reactor containing metal-oxide based materials developed at ETH Zürich.
The syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) was converted then into kerosene by Shell using the established"Fischer-Tropsch"process.
Although producing syngas through concentrated solar radiation is still at an early stage of development, the processing of syngas to kerosene is already being deployed by companies,
including Shell, on a global scale. Combining the two approaches has the potential to provide secure

Scientists in Scotland have become the first in the world to produce biofuel capable of powering cars from residues of the whisky industry.
Edinburgh-based Celtic Renewables plans to build a production facility in central Scotland after manufacturing the first samples of biobutanol from by-products of whisky fermentation.
The company has been awarded £11 million to fund a new plant to make the biofuels. Transport minister Andrew Jones says advanced biofuels have the potential to save at least 60%of the greenhouse gas emissions from equivalent fossil fuel.
He said, "The technique could transform the Scottish whisky industry and generate up to £100 million of transport fuel a year."
"The latest biofuels use low value waste products to produce high value fuel and will help power modes of transport that cannot be electrified in the future such as heavy trucks or even aircraft.

"The production of biobutanol from draff and pot ale is another example of the industry putting its by-products to a good use to promote sustainability and jobs."
"Celtic in partnership with Ghent-based Biobase Europe Pilot Plant produced the first samples of biobutanol earlier this month.

#Biodiesel made easier and cleaner with waste-recycling catalyst (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Cardiff University have devised a way of increasing the yield of biodiesel by using the waste left over from its production process.
when biodiesel is formed from vegetable oil, and convert this into an ingredient to produce even more biodiesel.
It is believed this new process will have significant environmental benefits by improving the yield of biodiesel in a sustainable way that doesn't require the use of additional fossil fuels
and could potentially reduce the costs of the biodiesel production process. The results have been published today, 14 september, in the journal Nature Chemistry.
By 2020, the EU aims to have 10 per cent of the transport fuel of every EU country come from renewable sources such as biofuels.
Fuel suppliers are required also to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of the EU fuel mix by 6 per cent by 2020 in comparison to 2010.
At present, biodiesel is produced by combining fats and oils with methanol, which is derived usually from fossil fuels.
which could then be used as a starting reactant to create more biodiesel. To achieve this, the researchers reacted glycerol with water,
the researchers estimate up to a 10 per cent increase in biodiesel production, which they claim would be very helpful to industry at this point in time.
"Biodiesel manufacture is a growing part of the EU fuel pool, with statutory amounts being required to be added to diesel that is derived from fossil fuels."
"We've provided unprecedented chemistry that highlights the potential to manufacture biodiesel in a much more environmentally friendly,
"This paper shows how fundamental catalysis research can develop new mild processes to enhance the sustainability of biodiesel.

At present, biodiesel is produced by combining fats and oils with methanol, which is derived usually from fossil fuels.
A waste product from this process is crude glycerol, which is formed on a large scale and contains many impurities that make it costly to purify

Previously, flights on biofuels had been limited to a 50 percent blend with petroleum making this a major breakthrough.
Production and use of advanced biofuel could displace at least 15 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel the equivalent of 475 million barrels of oil each year by 2022, reducing oil imports by $70 billion
Last week, the U s. Navy signed an agreement with biotech company Biodico to collaborate on developing advanced biofuels and bioenergy refineries throughout the globe for the U s. military.

On the upside, all that agricultural waste creates a solid biofuels pipeline. Forget the food-versus-fuel debate:
Biofuels, clean energy, renewable energy, biofuels, biogas, cow manure, waste diversion, Pixley, Calgren, Regensis, Tulare County, DVO, California Energy Commission, dairy industry, San joaquin valley
will churn cow manure into bioethanol which can then be blended with conventional gasoline. The core of Calgren plant is an anaerobic digester built by DVO,
biogas will also be produced in order to power the facility, nixing any need to be connected to the local grid.
Furthermore, Steve Dvorak, President of DVO, reminded the audience that one cow alone creates about 100 to 130 cubic feet of biogas a day,
In the future it might be possible to efficiently operate even smaller decentralized units e g. at rural biogas facilities.
For example it might be converted decentrally with the carbon dioxide produced by the about 800000 biogas facilities
While biofuels have proven to be an effective, renewable, low-carbon alternative to gasoline and diesel, jet fuels pose unique challenges.
Biofuels synthesized from the sugars in plant biomass help mitigate climate change. However jet fuels have stringent requirements that must be met. et fuels must be oxygen-free,
Ours is the first process to generate true drop in aviation biofuels. Scown cites the Intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) on the importance of drop in aviation biofuels. n a 2014 report
