Oleofuels Online Series

By -

Building on the success of the inaugural edition, which brought over 200 attendees, ACI's Oleofuels Online Series 2nd edition will take place at 3pm-5pm CET on Thursday 25th March 2021. The two hour Virtual Event will once again bring together hundreds of key industry stakeholders from biodiesel producers, HVO/ HEFA producers, downstream oil companies, researchers, process technology providers, catalyst companies & fuel traders/ brokers.

Confirmed Speakers for the March editions include:

  • Jan De Kock, Key Account Manager at Desmet Ballestra Group NV who will deliver his presentation titled “Processing Technologies for Pretreatment of HVO/HEFA Feedstocks”.
  • Dickon Posnett, Director of Corporate Affairs at Argent Energy. Presentation title TBA

Key Aspects of this Event:

  • This is NOT a webinar with hidden attendees, the set up will be designed to allow all to participate in the discussions and meet as many other attendees as possible face-to-face
  • All attendees will have their cameras and microphones on during the networking.
  •  Free movement networking will allow you to approach individuals and groups you choose
  • Your choice as to leading or following the conversations taking place
  •  Presentations from our Speakers on some of the most cutting edge developments in the industry
  • Opportunity to join Speakers in the ‘stage’ and pose your questions direct to them

The event is free and offered complementary, although there is also an option to upgrade your ticket for only £195 where you will guarantee your attendance if maximum number of free registrations is reached, receive access to the list of attendees, recordings of presentation & Q&A + presentation slides. (Click here for more info)

To accept this invitation please contact Rohan Baryah / Marcin Janecki or click here to register yourself directly and we will look forward to seeing you at the event. (Please mention the code vEAF_BioRefMP in additional notes if registering online and we will send you a confirmation).
Please note you can book more colleagues or associates on to the event or forward this message to them!

‘Virtual exhibition, branding and more available for the upcoming editions. Reach out to your prospective clients from the global Oleofuels community. Contact Hubert Sosnowski, +48 61 646 7059 for more information’.

PS: There is also an option to register for April edition of the Oleofuels online series, so please take this opportunity and confirm your attendance for both upcoming editions.

We will be pleased to welcome you and your colleagues at the event.

Biofuels from algae

In my opinion, the production of biofuels and biobased chemicals from algae is one of the most fascinating topics in the sector of the biorefineries and it will be one of the niches of opportunity with highest potential in the medium and the long terms. This post pretend to be a very basic approach to the topic Algae-to-Biofuels through three general key points. Algae 1,2,3,4,5 Algae include a wide variety of photosynthetic organisms capable of transforming light, water and specific nutrients into products that can be used with commercial and industrial purposes. We can say that algae are sunlight-driven factories with potential to convert CO 2 into biofuels, high-value biochemical, food and feed. There are four algae cultivation technologies currently in use for commercial algae cultivation and proposed for algal biofuel production: extensive or open ponds, intensive or raceway ponds, closed photobioreactors in many designs and closed fermenter systems.

English version Sección: BIOCOMBUSTIBLES AVANZADOS Serie: HVO - Hidrotratamiento (HVO) – Conceptos, materias primas y especificaciones - Hidrotratamiento(HVO) – Ventajas sobre el biodiesel convencional y propiedades - Biorrefinerías de Aceites Vegetales Hidrotatados (HVO) – El auge del diésel renovable - Entradas: HVO                El acrónimo HVO significa en inglés “ Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils ” (“Aceites Vegetales Hidrotratados”) o ” Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils ” (“Aceites Vegetales Hidrogenados”). Clave del proceso: Tratamiento con hidrógeno. En el proceso de producción de HVO, el hidrógeno se usa para eliminar el oxígeno de los triglicéridos produciendo una mezcla de parafinas lineales, CO 2 y agua. Posteriormente, el producto de la primera etapa se isomeriza, siempre en presencia de hidrógeno, para ramificar las cadenas lineales con el propósito de mejorar las propiedades de flujo en frío de los productos finales. Por tanto, los HVO son

Biorefinery platforms – Sugars

Versión en Español BIOREFINERY PLATFORMS Concept - The sugar platform is defined as any combination of C5 (5 carbon atoms; xylose, pentose and ribose are the most common pentose sugars), C6 (6 carbon atoms; glucose, fructose and galactose are the most common hexose sugars) and/or C12 sugars (molecules containing two hexose sugar units) that exists within a pathway from biomass feedstock towards final biobased products. - These simple sugars are reactive molecules that can be converted biologically or chemically into fuels, chemicals, materials. food and animal feed. - Larger molecules such as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides are not included within the sugar platform. - The traditional processes are based on utilizing sucrose (composed of glucose and fructose) derived from sugar crops (sugar beet or sugar cane) or glucose obtained after hydrolysis of starch (founded in wheat, corn barley, rye, triticale…). - In advanced biorefineries, utilizing lignocellulosic biomass as feedst

Publication date: 16/11/2015 Last update: 20/02/2016 Description 1,2 Levulinic acid (also known as 4-oxopentanoic acid or γ-ketovaleric acid) is an organic compound with chemical formula C 5 H 8 O 3 . It is a white crystalline solid soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It contains ketone and a carboxylic group whose presence results in interesting reactivity patterns. It is one of the more recognized Biobased Chemical Building Blocks , a starting material for a wide number of compounds (see Applications below). In fact, it was recognized by the US DoE as one of the top biobased platform chemicals of the future and it can successfully address many performance-related issues attributed to petroleum-based chemicals and materials. Process technologies 1,3,4,5 The controlled degradation of C6-sugars by acids is the most widely used approach to prepare levulinic acid from lignocellulosic biomass. Other methods have also been studied, for instance, the hydroly

English version Sección: PLÁSTICOS BIOBASADOS Series: Poliolefinas biobasadas. - Polietileno biobasado (bio-PE). Polietileno Biobasado (bio-PE) / Polietileno Verde / Polietileno Renovable - Su contenido de carbono biobasado puede alcanzar el 100% . - Recurso renovable . Se produce a partir de materias primas biomásicas renovables como azúcares o aceites vegetales. - Reduce las emisiones de GEI . Cada tonelada producida captura y secuestra CO 2 de la atmósfera. - 100% drop-in . Químicamente idéntico a su equivalente petroquímico. Tiene las mismas características de procesamiento que el PE de origen fósil, por lo tanto, puede procesarse en los mismos equipos. - No biodegradable . No puede ser compostado o biodegradado. - Termoplástico . Se puede fundir y volver a moldear en la forma deseada. - Se puede reciclar y procesar en nuevos productos de bio-PE utilizando tecnologías convencionales sin requerir inversiones adicionales.
