Unfortunately, most unique monomers are incorporated only after feeding a structurally related feedstock to a PHA accumulating bacterium.
North American olefin plants have switched from a heavy petroleum feedstock to a light ethane feedstock due to the shale revolution.
Once the clean hydrogen has been produced, it can be used as feedstock to fuel cell technologies, or in the nearer term as feedstock to a coal-to-liquids process to produce cleaner synthetic liquid fuels.
Successful development of a large-scale microalgae-based biofuels industry requires comprehensive analysis and understanding of the feedstock supply chain from facility siting and design through processing and upgrading of the feedstock to a fuel product.
Precondition for EF gasification is the conversion of a solid feedstock to a gas, liquid, slurry, or paste, which can easily be transferred by a compressor or pump into the pressurized gasifier chamber.
A multifaceted policy effort to support a broad array of technological, structural and behavioural changes is needed to enable energy and industrial transitions and the development of supply chains that deliver feedstock to a range of conversion and utilisation routes.
Biorefineries are envisioned as complex, integrated plants capable of using biomass feedstocks to produce a broad spectrum of chemical and fuel products.
There are many factors influencing the current global interest in the biorefining of biomass feedstocks to produce a wide variety of extracts, fuels and chemicals.
Metabolic engineering applications are driven by a desire to decrease costs, increase yields, increase efficiency, increase consumer acceptability, and use renewable feedstocks to provide a more environmentally friendly process than traditional chemical approaches.
A large plant requires feedstocks to be gathered from a larger area, thereby entailing greater transport emissions.
