Cellulosic Ethanol: Future’s Fuel

Nature's Building Block - It looks like that the time of cheap oil is over. The challenge of this century will be the exploitation of alternative resources to secure growth and quality of life for an ever growing population.

Thus, a small molecule has come into the focus of attention: glucose, nature's chemical building block. The conversion of sugars into chemicals such as ethanol offers new and sustainable alternative routes independent from fossil-based production to chemicals and fuels and with substantial savings in CO2 emissions. moreDec. 09, 2011

Finding The Energy

Directive Replacement - The European IED (Industrial Emissions directive) was published in January 2011. This replaces the former IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention Control) directive. Directive 2010/75/EU, concerning Industrial Emissions (IED), merges the existing directive 2008/1/EC of the European Parliament concerning IPPC, with six industrial-sector specific directives, into a single directive for the clarification and simplification of existing provisions. moreNov. 08, 2011

Full Transparency To The Limit

Fewer Emissions - Successful reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions requires a systematic approach. Since climate protection is a key element in its sustainability strategy, Bayer has developed and systematically implemented the "Bayer Climate Check" and the integrated energy management system STRUCTese (Structured Efficiency System for Energy).

Oil And Gas

Oil and gas account for more than half of all primary energy consumed globally. The sheer volume of oil and gas consumed means that these fuels will continue to feed a large share of the world's hunger for energy for the foreseeable future. Assuring a reliable and dependable supply depends on the technologies used in their extraction.

As ever-more challenging fields are commercialized, demands on technology are increasing to assure the economic, efficient and safe extraction of the fuel. more
