Tipo de entrada: NOTICIA FLASH.

La Oficina de Tecnologías de Bioenergía (BETO) del Departamento de Energía (DOE) de EEUU ha publicado un informe que resume los resultados del taller “Moving beyond Drop-In Replacements: Performance-Advantaged Biobased Chemicals Workshop” celebrado en Denver (Colorado, USA) el 1 de junio de 2017. Los bioproductos con comportamiento mejorado son nuevos productos en los que las biomoléculas que los componen no se parecen a moléculas existentes derivadas del petróleo y ofrecen mejores prestaciones que las de productos convencionales. Su desarrollo todavía presenta muchos retos por delante y también son muchas las formas de enfrentarse a esos desafíos. Por ello, BETO organizó un evento para recoger las ideas de las partes interesadas y plantear un plan para avanzar.

Publication date: 14/12/2015 Last update: 24/05/2017 Description 1,2,3,4 D-Glucaric acid, also called saccharic acid, is a chemical compound with formula C 6 H 10 O 8 and member of a large family of molecules known as oxidized sugars. It is a naturally occurring aldaric acid, typically found in small amounts in a variety of fruits and vegetables. It is a highly functionalized compound with four chiral carbons and a plethora of reaction pathways. Its commercial potential was unveiled in the report “Top Value Added Chemicals from Biomass” from the Department of Energy of USA which described its use as a building block for a number of polymers, including new nylons and hyperbranched polyesters. Process technologies 1,3,4,5,6,7,8 The synthetic preparation of D-glucaric acid dates back to a report of Sohst and Tollens (1888) who carried out the nitric acid oxidation of D-glucose to D-glucaric acid. Current methods for its production are based on this process and in...

Versión en Español Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF. Royal Dutch Shell plc (Shell) has announced a final investment decision to build a biofuels facility with a capacity of 820 ktons/year at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam (the Netherlands) formerly known as the Pernis refinery. Once built, the facility will be among the biggest in Europe to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel made from waste. Press release: “ Shell to build one of Europe’s biggest biofuels facilities ”, 16/09/2021. Figure 1. Pernis refinery Advanced production methods will be used to make the fuels. The facility is expected to use technology to capture carbon emissions from the manufacturing process and store them in an empty gas field beneath the North Sea through the Porthos project. A final investment decision for Porthos is expected next year. A facility of this size could produce enough renewable diesel to avoid 2.8 Mtons of carbon dioxide emissions a year. The Rotterd...
