The Oxford Catalysts Group was presented with an award for Excellence in the Field of Environmental Technology Commercialisation by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, at the CleanEquity Monaco 2010 conference. This invitation-only clean technology conference was attended by 36 next-generation technology companies, which presented to over 250 delegates from four continents.
A next-generation biorefinery project, EuroBioRef, was launched on 1st March 2010 by the EU. Financed under the 7th Framework Programme of the EU, the EuroBioRef project aims to cover the entire biomass conversion chain ranging from raw materials to final commercial products. The participants in the four-year €23 million project include 28 partners from 14 different countries.
The Golden Field Office and Department of Energy (DOE) has granted a blanket purchase agreement to R.W. Beck, a 100% subsidiary of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) to support the Biomass Program of The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. The blanket purchase agreement with a ceiling of $21 million expires on 30th September 2015.
The city of Indio in Riverside County has been selected by Golden State Biofuel to locate its first biofuel refinery in California. Designed to produce one million gallons per year, this scalable refinery will serve San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, the High Desert and Inland Empire areas.
In 2008, the market for biogas plants in Germany declined by 80% due to global economic downtrend, rising prices of energy crops, and German Renewable Energy law (EEG) revision. In 2009, about 70% of the global/European biogas market was accounted by Germany and hence the country will continue to be an important market for biogas plants in 2010.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Government of India, and India’s Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry are hosting the 2nd Methane to Markets Partnership Expo in New Delhi from March 2- 5, 2010. The event has attracted attendees from 30 countries and showcases more than 150 opportunities for capturing and using methane, a greenhouse gas more than 20 times as potent as carbon dioxide, as a valuable clean energy resource.
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded UOP, a Honeywell company, a $1.5 million cooperative agreement for a demonstration project. The technology involves capturing carbon dioxide and using it for producing algae, which will be utilized for energy and biofuel production.
A collaborative project that deals with the biomass transformation from fields to final products was launched on March 1, 2010. About 28 partners from 14 countries are taking part in the European Multilevel Integrated Biorefinery Design for Sustainable Biomass Processing (EuroBioRef) project. This 4-year project is coordinated by CNRS, France and funding is provided through the European Union’s 7th Framework Program.
