According to the projections in the "Camelina Aviation Biofuels Market Opportunity and Renewable Energy Strategy Report," released by Biomass Advisors’ biofuels market researchers, the production of Camelina biofuel is set to reach one billion gallons by the year 2025. The report also projected that 25,000 new jobs will be created in the sector and generate new revenues of more than $5.5 billion as well as produce new agricultural income amounting to $3.5 billion for the farmers in Canada and the U.S.
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) today announced a series of Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with 3M, the St. Paul, Minn.-based technology company. The agreements between NREL and 3M establish joint investigations in three key areas of innovation: thin-film photovoltaics, concentrating solar power and biofuels.
The first demonstration plant in the world that converts plant sugars into gasoline blend components and gasoline instead of ethanol has commenced production. This was announced by Virent Energy Systems and Shell. This is the latest step since the announcement of a collaborative biogasoline research and development initiative in March 2008 by both the companies.
Great Plains Oil & Exploration – The Camelina Company and Accelergy Corporation have signed an agreement to produce a clean biojet fuel by blending domestic coal and Camelina oil by utilizing CBTL (coal-biomass-to-liquid) technology.
Green Energy Resources Inc. has won a 1-year, $27 million contract to supply high-powered woodchips to Germany from Texas for renewable energy. With over 16,000 BTUs of heat, the woodchips comprise more BTUs than majority of grades of coal and without emissions of carbon dioxide. An internationally approved scientific agency has tested and verified the woodchips’ heating value.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has awarded a contract to Pall Corporation to develop a vital filtration and separation processes for an advanced biofuels project of U.S. Department of Energy. Pall Corporation is a world leader in filtration, separation and purification technology. By winning the contract, Pall Corporation has become a part of the National Advanced Biofuels Consortium (NABC). It is an initiative from the federal government under the ARRA (American Recovery & Reinvestment Act) to advance the creation of biofuels industry in the country, to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and to generate jobs.
The scramble to find sufficient land for biofuel production has experts eyeing marginal croplands that have been placed in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Now a study by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists indicates that plant species diversity and composition are key factors in potential energy yield per acre from biomass harvested from CRP land.
Envirepel Energy announced that its first renewable facility, the Kittyhawk Project, will be reopened by April 2010. Envirepel Energy, based in California, is a privately held company. To address the challenge of a shareholder proxy effort, the facility was temporarily closed in June 2009.
