In Networking It's Not the Tools, It's the Approach

October 5, 2017
October 6, 2017

The topic of networking isn't an obvious one because there isn't any magic list of things you can do to be the best networker.

Manufacturing Supply Chain Development for the STARS Technology Modular Solar-Thermochemical Conversion Platform

October 5, 2017
This project is looking to address the primary challenge we see in the module manufacturing space – how we can significantly improve the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) of a high Technical Readiness Level (TRL) technology to open the door for broad deployment. In particular, the team at PNNL and OSU is carrying out a cost/manufacturability study on the piloted STARS technology for solar steam methane reforming.

Autothermal pyrolysis of lignocellulose wastes to sugars and other biobased products

October 5, 2017
Deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars is among the major challenges in producing cellulosic biofuels and biobased products. Current pretreatment methods to liberate solid cellulose are expensive, accounting for as much as 30% of the cost of producing cellulosic biofuels. Most pretreatments do not completely fractionate cellulose and lignin, the latter of which interferes with enzymatic hydrolysis.

Adsorptive Nitrogen Rejection from Natural Gas

October 5, 2017
Low permeability natural gas reservoirs are being developed across the world using fracturing technologies. The most common approach for fracturing uses water with friction-reducing agents and thickening polymers. However, this approach requires approximately 400 tanker trucks to bring millions of gallons of water to a wellhead and results in millions of gallons of contaminated water that must be treated before going back into the natural water cycle. A second approach to fracturing uses high-pressure gases such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide.
