U.S. ethanol exports decreased by a third from January to February, landing at a total of 42.5 million gallons of denatured and undenatured (non-beverage) ethanol, according to the most recent government data.
Project development is in the financing stage for a nitrogen fertilizer facility to be co-located with Tharaldson Ethanol Inc., a 153 MMgy facility located in Casselton, N.D. The fertilizer plant would produce urea, anhydrous ammonia and UAN.
John Caupert pilots the National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center, now in its 10th year as an industry research partner.
Imports of U.S. distillers grains to the Philippines grew nearly 13 percent from 2011 to 2012 and there's still potential for growth, according to the U.S. Grains Council. which is working to promote the use of the coproduct in areas of the country.
I've been writing about ethanol, and therefore corn oil, for more than three years now. That means I started writing about it when only a few plants had the technology installed.
Kansas State University civil engineers are developing the right mix to reduce concrete's carbon footprint and make it stronger. Their innovative ingredient: biofuel byproducts.
Air Liquide Industrial U.S. LP has announced a new carbon dioxide liquefaction plant in the California central valley that will capture gases from an ethanol plant. The plant joins Air Liquide's five other plants in the state.
The 2013 International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo, the ethanol industry's largest and longest-running conference, released its highly anticipated agenda featuring more than 140 speakers and four content-packed tracks.
Byong Ryol Min, the U.S. Grains Council director in Korea, recently highlighted a positive story for distillers grains in that country. Declaring 2012 an overall good year for U.S. DDGS, he said Korea imported 469,000 metric tons from the U.S.
Stanford University's Global Climate and Energy Project has released a report highlighting the potential to combine bioenergy production with carbon capture and storage techniques to enable carbon-negative energy production.
Lignol Innovations Ltd. has landed a commercial supply agreement with a European thermoplastics producer. The subsidiary of Lignol Energy Corp. had previously delivered samples of its trademarked HP-LTM lignin for evaluation and product trials.
ICM Inc. has announced that it signed a contract with Abengoa Bioenergy for the Advanced Oil Separation System (AOS) to be deployed at the company's Madison, Ill., and Mt. Vernon, Ind., facilities.
NEAtech, a new energy alternatives company, is searching for financing to further test and commercialize its patented distillers grain-to-cellulosic ethanol process.The consulting company received the patent in October.
The U.S. Grains Council has issued its 2012 Annual Report, which includes success stories from the year and market profiles from more than 25 countries and regions. The also includes export data on distiller's dried grains with solubles.
Poet LLC announced that 25 of its network of 27 biorefineries have installed its patent-pending corn oil technology, bringing its total capacity to approximately 250,000 tons per year, enough to produce 68 million gallons of biodiesel annually.
It's official. The classification of U.S. distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) as a non-hazardous cargo became final and mandatory under the code of the International Maritime Organization on Jan. 1, 2013.
A two-year research project aims to crack the lignin question by engineering a microbe to break down the byproduct into a lipid, or fat, and then into biodiesel. The research has the potential to make cellulosic ethanol refineries more profitable.
