DTHFE: Additive for Jetfuel and Diesel

Bio-rewable fuel additive for diesel/kerosene reduce emissions!The furfural molecule has a very high oxygen content. In addition, its derivatives are known to change the phase diagram of (e.g. diesel), so that mineral diesel can be blended e.g. with alcohols without forming emulsions. Already in earlier work and field trials , such additives have successfully reduced…Read more DTHFE: Additive for Jetfuel and Diesel

Biomass demand for biorefining to triple by 2030

Driven by aggressive biofuel mandates, rapid growth will cause great strain on biomass by 2030, according to Lux Research. Using today’s technologies, an area the size of Russia would need to be cultivated to replace all of petroleum use for chemicals and fuels—feedstock innovation will be needed to keep growing biomass’s market share. “Today, biofuels…Read more Biomass demand for biorefining to triple by 2030
