The chemical industry contributes to 6% of global carbon emissions, but switching from fossil fuels to biomass and plastic waste could significantly cut this down.

Our process is designed to minimize the use of products derived from fossil fuels. Unlike conventional methods, we do not use cyclohexane, toluene, monoethylene, dispersants, or anti-foams, all of which are derived from fossil fuels. Looking ahead, we aim to replace diesel in the transportation of feedstock and finished products with trucks powered entirely by biomethane, marking an important milestone in our journey towards negative carbon emissions. #ethanol #lowcarbonethanol #netzero #biofuel  #carbontransition

Did you know many of the products you use every day are derived from petroleum? At the Agile BioFoundry, we're developing innovative pathways to enable sustainable biomanufacturing of fuels as well as chemicals that can be converted into direct replacements for petroleum-derived products. Through our new Strategic Core Industry Partnerships, you can leverage our capabilities and expertise to help develop these technologies.

A new report published by the Royal Society, the UK’s national scientific academy, has outlined the major challenges facing the chemicals sector as it looks to transition away from fossil-based feedstocks. They've highlighted biomass, plastic waste and carbon dioxide feedstocks as the key to cutting emissions.

Understanding the life cycle emissions of bio-based chemical products is key to reducing our carbon footprint. From carbon sequestration during biomass feedstock production to emissions from transport and fertilizers, each stage plays a critical role. The bio-based chemical industry processes these materials, which are then used for downstream manufacturing. Throughout the product's life cycle, energy-related and biogenic carbon emissions are released, from its production to its use (spanning from days to over 50 years) and ultimately to its disposal or breakdown, where more biogenic carbon is emitted. Two main system boundaries are essential: "Cradle to gate," which accounts for emissions up to product manufacturing, and "Cradle to grave," which includes the entire lifespan and end-of-life emissions. The total emissions across these stages highlight the importance of sustainable practices in the entire product life cycle. At Carbonlocked Technologies, we are dedicated to utilizing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to address these emissions and create sustainable solutions.

Perhaps #MalaysianPalmOil is a solution for #PlanetVsPlastics? Did you know? Bio-based plastics or bioplastics are plastic material made of renewable biomass sources such as corn starch, food waste and vegetable oils and fats including palm oil.

CapCO2 Solutions wants to change carbon dioxide (CO2) from ethanol plants into a type of methanol called "green methanol." This methanol can be used instead of building pipelines to transport CO2. Ethanol plants make CO2 in a way that makes it easier to capture. They plan to use special containers to turn this CO2 into methanol, which can be sold for different uses, like fuel. This method is cheaper and gets support from government incentives. It helps ethanol plants reduce their carbon footprint and make more money. But some people are not sure if green methanol is better than pipelines, which they think are more reliable. The article talks about how both methods are developing and how ethanol plants could help make cleaner fuels using different technologies.

Biomass, captured carbon and plastic waste can help 'defossilize' chemicals, report says. Policy briefing sets out how industry can move away from fossil fuel feedstocks and embrace low carbon and sustainable alternatives https://lnkd.in/dC3Gy82P
