This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features information on the production of bio-jet fuel and algal oil from microalgae, development of catalytic hydrocracking technology for generation of aviation fuel from waste cooking oil, and development of catalytic graphene-based bioreactors for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels that can be used in the aviation industry. The TOE also features information on the use of thermo-catalytic reforming technology to convert waste cooking oil and food waste into biocrude oil, which can be further purified to obtain sustainable aviation fuels. It also features information on the integration of gasification and Fischer Tropsch refining process for conversion of wood waste into aviation and renewable diesel fuels. The TOE focuses on innovations associated with the development of high temperature bio-reforming processes for conversion of wet biomass feedstock into aviation fuel, the use of membrane-based electrochemical processes, which converts captured carbon dioxide into bio-fuels, which can readily replace diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel in the transportation industry. The TOE also has latest information on generation of renewable feedstock from household waste, which can be blended with fossil fuels and used in the aviation industry. The TOE additionally provides insights on the use of heterotrophic bacterial strains for the removal of nitrogen and phosphorous from wastewater, and the latest developments in the use of environmental friendly solutions for enhancing nutrition efficiency, improve crop yields and to reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers in agriculture.
The Industrial Bioprocessing TOE provides intelligence on technologies, processes and strategic insights of industries involving bioprocessing, including innovations in the development and production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alternative fuels, chemical feedstocks, food and beverages, and consumer products.
Keywords: Microalgae, bio-jet fuel, sustainable aviation fuel, catalytic hydrocracking, thermocatalytic reforming, gasification, Fischer Tropsch refining, hydrogenation treatment, hydrotreated esters, heterotrophic bacteria, nitrification
