Ombra Shares Industry News: Shipping companies are testing biofuel derived from cashew nut shells and other biomass sources to cut greenhouse gas emissions. While promising, the biofuel may not significantly impact an industry heavily reliant on fossil fuels.

This is a very interesting news... #Nuseed transforming energy-cane to make oil in a viable way would be a real solution to make Aviation Biofuel competitive with fossil resources. A few percents of oil in the energy-cane biomass would represent much more oil per hectare than any other oleaginous crop, and if after oil extraction one can still process the biomass for ethanol and electricity production, would be just wonderful, a real biorefinery. Let's see the Proof of Concept and further scaling-up if this is going to be a real-world solution...What do you think about?

🚀 Some key insights from a recent paper I reviewed on biogas production using Press Mud! 🌱 🔍 Key Learnings: 1. Biogas Yield and Solids: The optimal biogas yield from Press Mud occurs with 6% solids. Higher solids lead to greater accumulation of Volatile Fatty Acids, resulting in lower pH and consequently, reduced biogas yield. 2. Press Mud and Cow Dung Mix: While mixing Press Mud with cow dung decreases the biogas yield, however, it stabilizes the entire process due to the higher buffering capacity of cow dung. 3. Press Mud and Cane Pith Mix: Combining Press Mud with cane pith in a 1:1 ratio results in the highest biogas yield. 4. Optimal Conditions: The ideal conditions for biogas generation from Press Mud are: - C:N ratio: 18 - pH: 7 - 7.5 - Temperature: 35 - 40°C 5. Foaming Issue: The presence of crude wax in Press Mud leads to foaming, which is a challenge that needs to be addressed. This paper underscores the potential of Press Mud in sustainable energy production and provides valuable insights for optimizing biogas generation. 🌍🔋 #SustainableEnergy #Biogas #RenewableEnergy #ResearchReview #PressMud #EnvironmentalScience

Careful planning and creative #biomass sourcing can yield big advantages for lower cost and lower emission #biofuels. Want proof? A new blog from NREL Laboratory Program Manager Zia Abdullah recaps two fascinating NREL analyses that show how to: 1) Collect algal biomass on the cheap (from wastewater treatment plans and waterways with #algae blooms) 2) Lower biocrude emissions by “co-locating” #biorefineries near existing infrastructure. Discover how NREL’s analysis team is using techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment to help #bioenergy businesses realize the best fiscal, social, and environmental returns.

In 2040, Europe could produce 111 bcm of #biomethane, of which 101 bcm relates to the EU27. This potential is made up of 74 bcm anaerobic digestion (67% of the total) and 37 bcm thermal gasification (33% of the total). These are some of the headlines of the latest report presented by the European Biogas Association (#EBA), entitled ‘Biogases towards 2040 and beyond’, which also states that the largest producers in 2040 are estimated to be Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Poland, in addition to the UK. Europe today produces 4 bcm of biomethane (according to the latest consolidated EBA data from 2022) thanks to newly built plants and upgrading of existing #biogas units. The production of raw biogas used mainly in CHP plants is currently 17 bcm. So this new report shows that momentum is building to reach the #REPowerEU target of 35 bcm of biogases/biomethane, since the industry is rapidly moving towards exponential growth of biomethane. 📃 COMPLETE REPORT: https://lnkd.in/d47xDJeQ

Is the entire biogas industry trying to squeeze blood from a stone? "Higher lignin content is desirable for combustion purposes but not for biofuel production (Tubeileh et al., 2016). The amount of lignin correlated negatively with CH4 yields (Herrmann et al., 2016) in most crop species." So an $8 billion industry is trying to get biogas from the already-digested woody leftovers in manure? There's got to be a better way to do this... Biogas from food waste has 1400% more methane potential than cow manure! And Las Vegas likely produces 500+ tons of food waste daily. If we can figure out how to reclaim the energy from all that food, we could power this town! #vegas #biogas
