A consortium, including LanzaTech and Danone, led to the discovery of a new route to monoethylene glycol, which is a key building block for polyethylene terephthalate, resin, fibers and bottles. The technology converts carbon emissions from steel mills or gasified waste biomass directly into MEG. The carbon capture technology uses a proprietary engineered bacterium to convert carbon emissions directly into MEG through fermentation, bypassing the need for an ethanol intermediate, and simpli...

ASTM International recently revised ASTM D7566 Annex A5 the Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons to add ethanol as an approved feedstock for producing alcohol-to-jet synthetic paraffinic kerosene (ATJ-SPK). The revision of ASTM D7566 Annex A5 clears the way for increased adoption of sustainable aviation fuels because ethanol feedstocks can be made from so many different low-cost sources. Behind this significant advancement in the Department of Ener...
