Gevo’s Net-Zero Project transforms renewable energy into energy-dense liquids. It is located on 240 acres of land near Lake Preston, South Dakota. The site is attractive because of its abundant sustainable corn supply, high-protein feed demand, rail transportation, and renewable energy potential. The name Net-Zero 1 is a reference to the net-zero greenhouse gas emissions… Continue reading Gevo | Lake Preston Biofuels Project | Net-Zero 1
The conversion of Phillips 66’s San Francisco Refinery in Rodeo, California, into a renewable fuels facility. The plant would no longer produce fuels from crude oil, but instead would make fuels from used cooking oil, fats, greases and soybean oils. In June 2024, Phillips 66 said the facility reached its output rate target. In August… Continue reading Phillips 66 | Rodeo Renewed
LanzaJet’s alcohol-to-jet SAF commercial production facility in Soperton, Georgia. The plant is slated to produce 10 million gallons of SAF and renewable diesel per year using a range of sustainable, low-carbon intensity ethanol, including from waste-based feedstocks. In 2020, LanzaTech and other investors formed LanzaJet in order to finance the facility and accelerate the commercialization… Continue reading LanzaJet | Freedom Pines Fuels Facility
Energy Allied International, headquartered in Houston, TX was approved in May 2023 for an Air Permit for the construction of the Sandpiper Methanol plant located in Texas City. Sandpiper’s current design and construction of this natural gas-to-methanol manufacturing facility would be located on land leased from Eastman Chemicals at the Bay Street site. Once operating… Continue reading Sandpiper Blue Methanol Plant
A study on how to permanently and safely store CO2 below the ocean floor. The goal is to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and inject it into young (less than 15 million years old) porous basalt rock, such as that found in the Cascadia Basin off the west coast of Canada, where it would interact… Continue reading Cascadia Basin Carbon Sequestration
A blue methanol production plant at the Port of Caddo-Bossier in Shreveport, Louisiana. Plans for the proposed plant include a production capability of 530,000 metric tons of methanol annually, using natural gas as a feedstock. The plant would feature carbon capture capabilities, reducing carbon dioxide. The facility would be located on a 74-acre site located… Continue reading Bia Energy | Port of Caddo-Bossier Blue Methanol Plant
A hydrogen-fired blue methanol production facility on the lower Mississippi River, 25 miles south of New Orleans in Plaquemines Parish. The carbon dioxide produced from the plant will be removed and directed either to sequestration or for re-use by carbon tech companies located adjacent to the plant, including the plan to recycle the CO2 into… Continue reading IGP Methanol Mississippi River Blue Methanol Production Facility
A facility in Florida manufacturing bio-methanol from biomass.
A facility manufacturing bio-methanol from biomass in Texas.
Enerkem and Dimeta are initiating feasibility studies for the development of a large-scale project that will convert waste into renewable dimethyl ether (rDME). As DME is chemically similar to Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), it can be blended with it up to 20% and ‘dropped-in’ to existing LPG supply chains. The project is expected to be… Continue reading Dimeta-Enerkem Waste-to-DME Project
