This discovery led to the identification of coating formulations with superior capacity to prevent mildew growth. The scientists proved the performance of the coatings by conducting field tests involving painting sample patches onto an ethanol storage tank.  http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/08/be8-signs-license-agreement-with-praj-for-ethanol-plant/ Be8 has chosen and entered into a license agreement with Praj, an Indian company and global leader in bio-energy, to establish the process, design and engineering of its first ethanol plant in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/08/us-biofuel-output-capacity-rose-last-year-on-renewable-diesel-rush/ Five new renewable diesel production plants opened last year, boosting U.S. output of the drop-in diesel substitute and other emerging biofuels by 44% to 282,000 bpd. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/08/brazils-raizen-partners-with-dutch-biorefinery-to-explore-lignin-uses/ Brazil's Raizen, the world's largest sugarcane processor, has struck a deal with Dutch biorefinery Vertoro to develop new uses for lignin, a residue from second-generation ethanol (E2G) production, including its conversion into advanced biofuels, chemicals and materials. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/08/verbio-launches-ethanol-production-at-its-biorefinery-plant-in-iowa-us/ Verbio has commenced the commercial production of corn-based ethanol at its biorefinery facility in Nevada, Iowa. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/07/petrobras-and-braskem-complete-tests-for-renewable-content-chemical-product/ Petrobras has successfully finished a series of industrial-scale tests to produce a light hydrocarbon stream (LHR) rich in ethylene, incorporating renewable content. Over the past year, this project, in collaboration with Braskem, has developed a viable renewable raw material for the chemical industry.
