Any company that prefers stability over the trauma of change should avoid the energy business for the next couple of decades.
Biomass fast pyrolysis yields oxygen rich (hydrogen deficient) hydrocarbons of inferior fuel quality. They contain upwards of 40 dry-weight % oxygen, whereas petroleum contains around 1%, so these bio-oils must be upgraded to be rightfully considered a replacement for liquid fossil fuels. Jack Ferrell of NREL's National bioenergy Center spoke at the Spring Meeting about their program to develop electrochemical hydrodeoxygenation processes.
Working with a plant site's existing natural resources, chemical engineers can harness ecosystems to mitigate undesirable plant outputs and reduce or eliminate the need for traditional unit operations equipment.
A new approach to address the problems of the large land area required for cultivation, culture contamination and the difficult and costly dewatering of the harvested cells in large-scale algal biofuel projects is under development at Iowa State University.
Michael Thien, SVP at Merck & Co., discusses some of the transitions in the bio-pharmaceutical industry and looks at some of the opportunities for young chemical engineers and students who seek to enter the industry.
