In Alabama, Alléo Energy announced a significant milestone in the production of renewable fuels. Alléo’s first commercial facility has produced renewable diesel made entirely from wood waste. This fuel has been independently tested by Intertek Testing Laboratories and is certified as D975 compliant. This diesel was produced from a waste feedstock that can be upgraded […]
In Alabama, according to a class action complaint, Vertex made false and misleading statements to the market. Vertex announced it would acquire an oil refinery in Mobile, Alabama, with the plan to partially convert it for the production of renewable diesel fuel, which it claimed would improve profitability. Bunkerspot reports that Vertex failed to report […]
In Alabama, Vertex Energy says its renewable diesel conversion project continues to track on schedule for mechanical completion in late March 2023 and start-up with initial production of 8,000 bpd in April 2023. Installation of additional hydrogen supply will drive production ramp to 14,000 bpd by early 2024. Expected total capital costs for the project […]
In Alabama, Vertex is continuing to advance construction activities on its renewable diesel conversion project, which is designed to convert the Mobile, Alabama refinery’s existing hydrocracking unit to produce renewable diesel fuel on a standalone basis. On January 6, 2023, the company safely completed shutdown procedures on the hydrocracker unit for the next stage of […]
In Alabama, Airbus has begun delivery of all aircraft from its U.S. manufacturing facility here with a blend of U.S.-sourced sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and conventional jet fuel. The initiative is a further step in Airbus’ ongoing commitment to carbon-neutral growth in the aviation sector, with a long-term goal of developing a zero carbon-producing commercial […]
In Alabama, researchers at Auburn University and University of Idaho have partnered to develop materials from agricultural waste that can be used to 3D-printed homes. The Auburn group will focus on converting biomass into chemicals and nanomaterials suitable for 3D printing, and the team at University of Idaho will conduct the test printing. Brian Via, […]
In Alabama, Auburn University has been awarded $1.6 million in research grants from the state of Alabama through the Alabama Research Development and Enhancement Fund. The grants, administered by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs, are earmarked for research and development of four different sustainability projects housed in the Samuel Ginn College of […]
In Alabama, supported by a $2 million U.S. Department of Energy award issued in 2018, as well as funding from the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, insights from the project were recently highlighted by the journal Nature Communications — for obvious reasons. Despite tremendous investment over the past decades, developing viable efficient bioprocesses that […]
In Alabama, TriAltus Bioscience announced that the U.S Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No 10,759,830 for its CLīM affinity tag system, which delivers proteins with ultra-high purity and yield in a single step. The patent, entitled “Bacterial colicin-immunity protein purification system,” covers mutations made to colicin E7, a naturally occurring e.coli protein, […]
In Alabama, researchers at Auburn University were recently granted nearly $500,000 from the Department of Energy-Fossil Energy to produce hydrogen energy that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and waste plastics problems. To produce this hydrogen energy, researchers will blend a coal, plastic and biomass mixture to be gasified and turned into hydrogen energy. The coal […]
