In order to begin to explore synergies between the corn-to-ethanol industry and lignocellulose-to-ethanol industry, a joint project between two agencies responsible for aiding these technologies in the Federal government was established. This joint project of the USDA-ARS and DOE with NREL looked at the two processes on a similar process...
This paper focuses on Biodiesel as an alternative fuel for diesel engines that is receiving great attention around the world. Although it attracts the most attention because it is renewable, it can be used either pure or in blends with diesel fuel in unmodified diesel engines, and it reduces some...
The basic objective of this white paper is to develop advanced thermal management methods and systems that will allow next-generation power electronics to operate at high heat fluxes and high temperatures in a compact low volume, lightweight power electronics package. The paper further analyzes the cooling and thermal control technology...
This study uses life-cycle assessment LCA as a tool to understand some of the key energy, environmental, and economic aspects of ethanol made from stover, the agricultural residue that is left in the field after harvesting corn grain. The results of this study, as with the results of any lifecycle...
The biomass feedstocks evaluated in this report are lipids from animal fats, fish and poultry oils, plant oils, and recycled cooking greases. These feedstocks shall be referred to as biomass oils. These outcomes can be achieved by concentrating investments in research platforms that show the highest likelihood of success and/or...
U.S. energy consumption is based on oil - a multi-billion dollar industry - and changing that is going to take investments in technology, as well as a change in consumers' attitudes.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory NREL and U.S. Department of Energy DOE are interested in developing more efficient vehicle air conditioning (A/C) systems to reduce fuel consumption in advanced vehicle designs. Vehicle A/C systems utilizing electrically-driven compressors are one possible system design approach to increasing A/C system performance over various...
October 6, 2003 - DuPont and the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory NREL announced a joint research agreement leading toward the development of the world's first integrated "bio-refinery" that uses corn or ot October 6, 2003 - DuPont and the U.S. Department of...
The study analyzes strategies for deployment of biomass resources for Biopower generation. It evaluates and compares several biomass supply databases. It also compares the projected biopower market penetration for several alternative incentive scenarios. It analyzes the availability of biomass to meet the projected market demands. Based on the analysis, a...
Rapid analysis methods specific to biomass are needed for the emerging biomass conversion industry. Rapid analysis is a category of modern analytical techniques that uses multivariate analysis to extract chemical information directly from spectroscopic data. The Biomass Rapid Analysis Network is designed to fast track the development of modern tools...
Diesel-electric hybrid buses not only hit ultra-low emissions targets but also avoid huge CNG refueling infrastructure costs, a final report by National Renewable Energy Laboratory NREL for U.S. Department of Energy DOE shows.
Microbial bioprocessing can produce a myriad of valuable products. This paper discusses the Mini-Pilot Plant is a Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) facility in which cells can be grown in 5- to 150-liter vessels followed by purification of the product at intermediate scale. This facility allows affordable research development that will...
This report has been assembled to provide the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy EERE with an idea of how the American public views various transportation, energy, and environmental issues. The Consumer Views on Transportation and Energy consists of six sections, including the introduction. Next Section examines public concern...
The objective of this report is to provide an overview assessment of the state of the biopower industry and the technology for producing electricity and heat from biomass. The assessment addresses the industry status, barriers to development, feedstock characterization, and lessons learned from the existing industry and selected development projects,...
