REMINDER! On Wednesday, July 31, at 12:00 p.m. MDT, join the Chemical Catalysis for Bioenergy Consortium (ChemCatBio) and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE’s) Bioenergy Technologies Office for a webinar titled, “Single-Step Catalytic Conversion of Ethanol to n-Butene-Rich Olefins and 1,3-Butadiene Chemical Coproduct.”
Ethanol is an attractive feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals as it is already produced at commercial scale and can be produced from a variety of renewable biomass and waste sources. In addition, the ethanol “blend wall” coupled with advances in production efficiency and feedstock diversification is expected to lead to excess ethanol at competitive prices. Within ChemCatBio’s Upgrading of Indirect Liquefaction Intermediates Project, research teams from multiple National Laboratories have been developing catalytic upgrading routes for this key intermediate.
In this presentation, investigators Robert Dagle from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Zhenglong Li from Oak Ridge National Laboratory will discuss collaborative efforts to develop this economically viable ethanol catalytic upgrading process technology using commercially relevant process streams.
