Phenotypic diversity as a tool to guide and optimize random strain improvement approaches
… will depend, if only partly, on efficient renewable-feedstock conversion to chemicals and fuels, and advances in that direction have relied and will continue to rely on strain engineering. Traditional methods comprising directed genetic modifications (i.e. targeting specific genes) have …

Biofuels production from hydrotreating of vegetable oil using supported noble metals, and transition metal carbide and nitride
… and selectivities by using soybean oil as the feedstock. For comparison study, catalytic cracking of soybean oil over a commercialized ZSM-5 was investigated. However, steady state could not be reached because significant amounts of tar and coke were generated during the reaction though a high …

Metabolic control of the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1
… growth on one-carbon substrates, such as the renewable feedstock methanol, M. extorquens AM1 utilizes the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway that involves several rare four- and five carbon CoA-esters of great biotechnological interest. M. extorquens AM1 also incorporates carbon dioxide as half of the …

Carbon Accounting in the Arboriculture Industry; Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Tree Surgery
… 2011 DTE provided 719 tonnes of wood chip to a renewable electricity generation plant, substituting coal use avoiding the release of 1,062 tonnesCO2e. Therefore, although arboricultural activities emitted 235.50 tonnesCO2e, this figure was more than offset (825.58 tonnes CO2e) by the avoided …

Bio based photocurable polymers for advanced applications
… most abundant natural polymer, was selected as a renewable feedstock due to its availability, structural versatility, and chemical functionality, and was integrated into photocurable systems and additive manufacturing technologies. The first part of the thesis introduces the fundamentals of …

Investigation of Volatile Products from Wood Pyrolysis
… as it is considered carbon-neutral and it uses a renewable feedstock. The information obtained from this research work will also be valued by industries, such as charcoal and activated carbon producers, which currently perform biomass pyrolysis, by allowing them to form approaches that optimize …

Sustainable treatment of oil contaminated waste: oil-based mud (OBM) drill cuttings and soil.
… They can be produced from natural and renewable feedstock (agricultural and industrial waste). This work focused on the production, purification and characterisation of rhamnolipid (RL) biosurfactant, produced from Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST5 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PS1, and its …

Water oxidation catalysis beginning with cobalt polyoxometalates: determining the dominant catalyst under electrocatalytic conditions and investigation of the surface properties of Co3O4 nanoparticles
… is one of the most promising technologies for a renewable energy future. Electrocatalytic water splitting can take energy from virtually any power source and split water into oxygen and hydrogen, thereby creating a renewable feedstock of hydrogen. The efficiency of electrocatalytic water …

Spectroscopic and Kinetic Characterization of Catalytic Materials for the Conversion of Biomass-Derived Compounds
… biomass will continue to attract attention as a renewable feedstock for the fuels and chemicals industry. In order to turn biomass into end use fuels and chemicals, the oxygen content must be lowered significantly, requiring large hydrogen inputs. For these processes to be completely renewable, …
