At the very heart of this issue lies the biorefinery the plant where raw materials (generallybiomass) are treated processed andturned into their final product.
Existing biorefineries are limited in the types ofbiomass feedstock they process the technologiesthey apply and the final products they focus on.
Eurobioref is funded an EU project set up toaddress this problem by identifying improvementsin biorefinery design and operation.
This enables a seamless integration of biorefinery coprocessing products to the end consumer for products such as transport fuels and chemicals.
and existing companies because eventually the biorefinery will be integrated into existing industries. Further benefits are expected to include the market diversification for raw and agricultural products.

Bio-Bus can travel 186 miles on a full tank of biomethane (or biomethane as they might say across the pond) gas which requires the annual waste of five people to produce according to the operator of the Bristol sewage treatment works GENECO.
A single person annual waste both edible and flushable would fuel the bus for 37 miles.
and food that unfit for human consumption wee able to produce enough biomethane to provide a significant supply of gas to the national gas network that capable of powering almost 8500 homes as well as fuelling the Bio-Bus. Gas-powered vehicles
The facility is capable of producing an estimated 17 million cubic meters of biomethane from this waste each year.
#New method stabilizes common semiconductors for solar fuels generation Researchers around the world are trying to develop solar-driven generators that can split water yielding hydrogen gas that could be used as clean fuel.
The finding paves the way for the use of these materials in solar fuel generators. For the better part of a half century these materials have been considered off the table for this kind of use says Nate Lewis the George L. Argyros Professor and professor of chemistry at Caltech and the principal investigator on the paper.
In the type of integrated solar fuel generator that JCAP is striving to produce two half-reactions must take placene involving the oxidation of water to produce oxygen gas;
what was needed for this solar fuel generator application Deposited as a film ranging in thickness between 4 and 143 nanometers the Tio2 remained optically transparent on the semiconductor crystalsllowing them to absorb lightnd protected them from corrosion
then uses the resulting biomethane just like natural gas mined from the ground to produce electricity.

and materials components needed for an integrated solar fuels generator.""The new system consists of three main components:

Now researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology in The netherlands and the Dutch Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) report in the 17 july issue of Nature Communications that they have improved tenfold the hydrogen producing capacity of a solar fuel cell.
The key was to use a photocathodehe electrode that supplies electrons when illuminated by sunlightade from an array of gallium phosphide nanowires.

More biorefineries such as the Calgren plant could help California solve multiple challenges a boost in production of clean transport fuels, the reduction in agricultural waste and for local residents,
the latter being considered a form of solar fuel. However, the cost of producing efficient solar panels makes water-splitting technologies too expensive to commercialize.
