New Publications: A Life Cycle Assessment of Potential Pathways to Increase Sustainable Aviation Fuel Yields through CO2 Upgrading Co-located with Corn Ethanol Production

Abstract Alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) upcycling of ethanol to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is an attractive emerging pathway for SAF production, especially in the US Midwest with large-scale corn ethanol production. Only 39% of the corn carbon is converted to ethanol, 20% is emitted as CO2. Capturing the CO2 to produce additional ethanol or SAF directly can increase…

New Publications: CDR literature examined with AI and systematic mapping

Here, we use artificial intelligence to provide a comprehensive systematic map of carbon dioxide removal research. We find a total of 28,976 studies on carbon dioxide removal— 3 to 4 times more than previously suggested. Growth in research is faster than for the field of climate change research as a whole, but very concentrated in…
