Trillium Renewable Chemicals’ Post

MyRechemical, part of the sustainable technology solutions business unit led by NextChem, and Dimeta B.V. have agreed to carry out a study to explore the feasibility for the development of plants to produce renewable and recycled carbon Dimethyl Ether (DME), a low-carbon sustainable liquid gas from waste, that can be used as a clean-burning fuel, based on MyRechemical’s Waste-to-Chemicals technologies and expertise. ---------- For the latest in #Science, #Engineering and #Chemical & #processindustry, Follow Chemical Industry Digest If you like to receive the latest updates in your inbox, Register here - https://bit.ly/2YYWajj ---------- #wastetochemicals #chemicalsindustry #chemicalstechnologies #fuel #feasibility #renewables #dimethylether #liquidgas #cleanfuels #chemicals #chemical #chemicalindustry

Worldwide #sustainability goals are calling for a redesign of the petrochemical and chem­ical industries. That requires improved efficiency as well as the usage of renewable or recycled raw materials like vegetable or pyrolysis oils. Catalyst testing using high throughput technology can help these industries in transitioning from fossil to renewable feedstocks.   In the recently published article in Digital Refining / PTQ, we show the possibilities and best practices to run #renewable feedstocks in high throughput units.   Learn more about catalyst testing for renewable #fuels and #chemicals: https://lnkd.in/eNifGDm6   #highthroughput #catalysis #catalysttesting

The transition away from fossil fuels opens up new opportunities not only for energy but also for materials. Because we've produced chemicals and plastics from crude oil for so long, we often think there's no other way of doing it. Well, let me introduce you to Celtic Renewables https://lnkd.in/evQsJRTC This company has revived the technique of fermentation to manufacture important chemicals such as Acetone, Butanol and Ethanol. And, their raw material is not oil but the waste from whisky distilling! Celtic Renewables has built their first commercial plant on the Grangemouth refinery campus in central Scotland; as oil and gas refining winds down, so a new sustainable industry is growing up to take its place. Commercial quantities of chemicals are already being produced and volumes are increasing steadily. The company is poised to enter a period of growth. Disclosure: I am a minor investor in this company.

Congratulations to our innovator ZymoChem for receiving 4M$ funding from the U.S. Department of Energy! 🥂🎊 For this funding, five projects are selected to advance the production of affordable biofuels and biochemicals that will significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Zymochem’s project is about scaling an integrated process for biopolymer production using lignocellulosic feedstock. ZymoChem offers bio-based materials powered by proprietary carbon-conserving microbes that convert renewable feedstocks into high-value materials. This technology radically minimises CO2 loss during the production phase. The efficiencies of their platform unlock superior economics – up to 50% lower cost than incumbents with a higher yield compared to today’s best-in-class biomanufacturing.

NEXTCHEM partners with Johnson Matthey NEXTCHEM S.p.A. (Sustainable Technology Solutions), through MyRechemical, and MI member Johnson Matthey (JM) have agreed to partner up for the commercialisation of the Circular MethanolTM technology package worldwide. Following the joint cooperation agreement of July 2021, aimed at integrating MyRechemical’s waste-to-syngas technology with JM’s syngas-to-methanol technology, the two companies have reached a new agreement to jointly commercialise the integrated technology under MyRechemical’s proprietary Circular MethanolTM trademark. MyRechemical grants JM the right to use its proprietary Circular MethanolTM trademark, further enhancing the technology package’s positioning in the market. The cooperation has recently led to the signature of the first engineering agreement for the FEED of a waste to methanol project for a confidential client in Europe. Additionally, there are various other confidential opportunities that are progressing at different levels of development across the globe. The process uses municipal and industrial waste that cannot be mechanically recycled as the feedstock, and it chemically recycles it into synthesis gas via a partial oxidation process. The synthesis gas is then purified and conditioned, transformed into methanol and distilled to the required purity level. Circular MethanolTM flowsheet can also be applied to biomass conversion as well as incorporate the addition of low carbon hydrogen to maximise the carbon utilisation. https://bit.ly/3UZ0kSz #methanol #sustainable #marine #maritime #efuel #futurefuel #energytransition #renewable #alternativefuel

A Collaborative Approach to Handling and Storing Bio-coal and biocarbon Sustainable Solutions for Biomass In the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, collaborative efforts are pivotal. A recent article from Biomass Magazine explores the importance of teamwork in handling and storing bio-coal - an exciting development in the world of renewable energy. The same challenges can be transferred to the biocarbon and biochar spaces. Bio-coal, produced through a process known as pyrolysis, offers a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional coal. However, the challenge lies in efficiently handling and storing this innovative biomass product. We would add that transport can also be problematic if not handled properly. The article highlights the significance of collaborative approaches. By working together, industry experts and stakeholders can find effective solutions for the storage and transportation of bio-coal. This approach not only ensures the smooth transition to cleaner energy sources but also promotes a greener and more sustainable future. Limiting risks associated with dust and self-ignition is primordial to having safe operations and enabling the deployment of capital in decarbonization efforts related to these sectors. ♻️ Sustainable Impact As consultants in pyrolysis and biochar, we are committed to fostering sustainable solutions. Our expertise in this field allows us to contribute to this collaborative effort, ensuring that bio-coal, biocarbon and biochar reaches its full potential in the transition to a green economy.
