The increase in exports this year has largely been driven by demand in countries with biofuel blending mandates and cheaper-than-usual U.S. fuel ethanol prices. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/11/lanzatech-and-eramet-plan-integrated-ccus-project-in-norway/ LanzaTech Global, Inc., the carbon recycling company transforming above-ground carbon into sustainable fuels, chemicals, materials and proteins, will develop a commercial-scale carbon capture and utilization (CCU) facility at Herøya Industrial Park in Porsgrunn, Norway. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/surge-in-us-ethanol-exports-offsets-thriving-production/ Despite a jump in production, U.S. ethanol stocks dropped significantly last week, partly owing to a sharp rebound in gasoline demand, which neared three-year highs. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/09/gevo-granted-us-patent-for-its-novel-ethanol-to-olefins-process-technology/ Gevo, Inc. announced the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted to Gevo a patent for its ethanol-to-olefins process, focusing on bio-based renewable fuel and chemical production from alcohols. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/09/gevo-to-acquire-red-trail-energy-assets-in-north-dakota-us/ Gevo Inc., a leading developer of net-zero hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the ethanol production plant and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) assets of Red Trail Energy LLC for $210 MM. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/09/ethanol-push-turns-india-into-corn-importer-shaking-up-global-market/ A push by India to make more corn-based ethanol has turned Asia's top corn exporter into a net importer for the first time in decades, squeezing local poultry producers and scrambling global supply chains. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/august-2024/tanks-terminals-and-storage/case-study-developing-mildew-resistant-coatings-on-ethanol-tanks/ Scientists from the authors’ company determined how best to combat persistent black mildew on aboveground storage tanks by first using a novel strategy to identify it. 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.
