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.

Recent news about one of the DOE’s 12 Top Biobased Molecules. Rennovia Inc. and Johnson Matthey Process Technologies announced on July 16 that they have successfully started-up a mini-plant for production of glucaric acid from glucose using jointly developed technology. In March 2014, these companies embarked on a collaboration to develop, demonstrate and commercialize catalytic process technologies for the production of bio-based glucaric acid and adipic acid. Under the collaboration, Rennovia and JM Process Technologies work together in processes based on Rennovia’s technology for the catalytic aerobic oxidation of glucose to glucaric acid and the catalytic hydrogenation of glucaric acid to adipic acid. The final goal of the collaboration is to license a package enabling commercial production of these chemical products. The successful operation of this mini-plant is a major milestone in the journey to achieve this goal. The facility is located at the Johnson Matthey Process ...

Biorefinery models - Lignocellulosic biorefinery

Publication date: 25/04/2016 Last update: 25/04/2016 ABOUT THE SERIES OF POSTS “BIOREFINERY MODELS” This post belongs to a series called “ Biorefinery Models ”. This series is devoted to briefly describe the models or concepts of advanced biorefineries which have emerged in the last few years and that are rising currently. These models are simplified representations which enable us to understand in a simple way the structure and characteristics of a general biorefinery type. Some of these models refer to the type of feedstock while other focus on the technologies involved. A biorefinery may resemble these models or be the result of variations and combinations of them. It should be noted that although these paradigms are very useful and instructive, they show limitations in describing and classifying complex systems with high level of integration. In order to define and describe a specific complex case, the blog recommends use the classification proposed by IEA Bioenerg...

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 propieda...

Versión en Español Type of post: Fact sheet. Series: Biobased chemicals – Organic acids. Publication date: 05/05/2021. Last update: 05/05/2021. Description - Organic acid with 3 carbon atoms. - It is a clear, colourless, corrosive liquid with a characteristic acrid or tart smell. - Other names: prop-2-enoic acid. Applications - Formation of homopolymers or copolymers which are used in the manufacture of various adhesives, coatings, diapers, detergents, paints, plastics and textiles. The main use of crude acrylic acid is the generation of acrylate esters, followed by the production of polyacrylic acid, used mostly in superabsorbent polymers. - Chemical intermediate in multiple industrial processes. Conventional petrochemical route - Cracking of fossil naphtha to produce propylene / Oxidation of propylene. Main biobased routes - [3-HPA via] Fermentation of sugars to produce 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HPA) / Dehydration of 3-HPA. - [Biobased naphtha via] Cracking of biobased naphth...

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. Algal biof...
