EPA Publishes Final Rule To Correct And Clarify Issues With The RFS Program
On April 22, 2016, EPA published Amendments Related to: Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards as a final rule in the Federal Register. This final action amends the RFS Quality Assurance Program (QAP) rule to exempt downstream end users of renewable fuels from product transfer document (PTD) requirements. EPA originally added the PTD requirements to the QAP rule, requiring parties ...

The production of biofuels and renewable chemicals by fast pyrolysis of biomass
Bio-energy can provide more renewable energy requirements than any other technology. This paper focuses on fast pyrolysis as the only thermal process that directly delivers a high yield of liquid. This can be used on site or transported to centralised facilities for utilisation. This offers the potential for optimisation, greater economies of scale and exploitation of bio-refineries. The overall ...

Highlights from DOE’s “Bioproducts in the Bioeconomy” Webinar
On Monday, October 26, 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) presented “Bioproducts in the Federal Bioeconomy Portfolio Webinar,” a webinar on how the federal government is promoting sustainability through three different avenues: bioproducts research; commercialization; and market development. The presenters on these topics were DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) ...

Supplemental RFS rule is unfounded — and illegal
EPA’s supplemental proposal to the 2020 Renewable Fuel Standard RVOs is based on false assumptions, and is unauthorized and unprecedented writes AFPM in official comments submitted to the Agency. The supplemental rule comes on top of an RVO proposal that seeks to impose the highest biofuel volume mandates in history and force more biofuels into the gasoline supply than is technologically ...

The feasibility of producing alcohol fuels from biomass in Australia
Apart from cost, the net production of energy is the most important factor in evaluating the feasibility of producing renewable fuels from woody biomass. Unlike sugar, the effort required to make woody materials fermentable is considerable, and has been a major barrier to the use of such materials to produce renewable fuels. The Energy Profit Ratio (EPR) of fossil fuels is declining rapidly as ...

EPA trims 2014 Renewable Fuel Mandate to 15.21 billion gallons, viting blend wall
The Environmental Protection Agency proposed Nov. 15 to use its waiver authority for the first time to reduce the overall renewable fuel blending requirement for 2014. The proposed rule for the 2014 renewable fuel standard would require petroleum refiners and importers to blend 15.21 billion gallons of renewable fuels into their products. That is down from the 18.15 billion gallons required by ...

EPA Anticipates That Sorghum Based Biofuels Could Qualify For RFS
EPA announced that renewable fuels produced from sorghum biomass could qualify as cellulosic fuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). This is a result of a preliminary analysis of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the growth and transport of biomass sorghum feedstocks that are used to make biofuels. The analysis, which was conducted in response to a petition from the National ...

Supporting sustainability by converting fat from food into renewable fuel with the Cricketfilter®
THE CHALLENGE Our customer collects and re-cycles leftover food from hotels and the retail trade which would normally be send to landfills or be thrown away. A key component of the filtration process is to filter and separate the solids and the PE from the fat contained in the leftover food. The customer needed to achieve less than 50 ppm in order to produce high quality renewable fuel to power ...

Ethanol Mandates under RFS and EPA’s Lifecycle GHG Analysis
In a settlement with the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) and the American Petroleum Institute (API), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) agreed to set renewable fuel obligations for calendar years 2014 and 2015 by November 30, 2015, under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The RFS requires annual increases in the amount of renewable fuel that must be blended into ...

Biomass Pyrolysis Plant: What It Really Are Capable Of Doing To Suit Your Needs
A mobile biomass pyrolysis plant can operate independently of any electrical grid and might re-locate multiple times annually. The economics of biomass pyrolysis are favorable for many different reasons. The expense of raw materials is less, and the biomass haul distance is quite a bit shorter compared to a set-site biomass pyrolysis plant. The mobile plant may be operated on a number of biomass ...

Simultaneous domestic wastewater treatment and renewable energy production using microbial fuel cells (MFCs)
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can be used in wastewater treatment and to simultaneously produce electricity (renewable energy). MFC technology has already been applied successfully in lab-scale studies to treat domestic wastewater, focussing on organic matter removal and energy production. However, domestic wastewater also contains nitrogen that needs to be treated before being discharged. The goal ...
