Biofuels maker Joule said it has processed waste carbon dioxide into gasoline and jet fuel components.
The company says this is an industry- first renewable fuel technology . Joule said the technology will allow it to expand its Sunflow product line , which uses solar energy to convert carbon dioxide from industrial waste into fuel, and help meet the global demand for alternative hydrocarbon fuels . needs.
Additionally, these processes use waste carbon dioxide as feedstock, allowing industrial emitters to produce fuels rather than dumping emissions or using expensive capture and storage measures.
Today, carbohydrate-based renewable fuel alternatives require Bulgaria WhatsApp Number complex multi- stage processes to process algae or other agricultural biomass raw materials into fuel precursors and subsequent chemical upgrading . In contrast, Joule develops photosynthetic biocatalysts that convert waste carbon dioxide into hydrocarbons through a proprietary continuous process .
The company said it is expanding its ethanol production process ( Sunflow-E ) and is also developing a diesel long-chain hydrocarbon ( Sunflow-D ). With its latest breakthrough , Joule said it became the first company to be able to directly produce medium -chain hydrocarbons , an important component of gasoline ( Sunflow-G ) and jet fuel ( Sunflow-J ). component .
Joule hydrocarbon fuel also contains no sulfur. For the diesel and gasoline markets , this enables refiners to meet sulfur needs without increasing production costs or fuel prices .
March , the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed regulations to further reduce the sulfur content of gasoline by more than 60% starting in 2017 . U.S. fuel and petrochemical producers estimate this will require $ 10 billion in capital expenditures and $ 2.4 billion in additional annual operating costs for refineries .
Joule claims its Sunflow-G can save refiners money by reducing sulfur content , which makes up a large portion of the final product.
Joule is currently launching its first product, Sunflow-E , which will be available globally in early 2015 . The company said construction of its first commercial factory is scheduled to begin in 2014 at multiple locations around the world.
