* USA - Turning municipal and agricultural liquid waste into ethanol fuel
Marlborough, MA,USA -Fleet Owner, by Sean Kilcarr -October 20, 2009: -- A new process developed jointly by Qteros of Marlborough, MA and Applied CleanTech (ACT) based in Israel say they’ve developed a solution for turning cellulose from municipal and agricultural liquid waste into ethanol fuel for vehicles... Here’s the real trick to all of this: By using ACT’s feedstock production process in combination with Qteros’ Q Microbe, they say, allows an ethanol production plant to produce 120–135 gallons of ethanol per ton of Recyllose... That means positive economics for the production of cellulosic ethanol could be viable at a smaller scale – meaning a wastewater plant that handles 150 million gallons a day (roughly serving a population of about 2 million people) could be sufficient to supply a smaller-scale ethanol plant with cellulose...* New Zealand - L-NGV Growth Anticipated to Follow Dramatic LNG Market Expansion in Asia and Europe
Auckland. New Zealand -NGV Global News, by Dr. Jeffrey M. Seisler -October 19, 2009: -- World LNG demand is forecast to rise from 226 billion cubic metres (bcm) during 2007 to 640 bcm by 2020 and close to 790 bcm by 2030, according to projections by the International Energy Agency and supported by a 2008 analysis by Ocean Shipping Consultants (OSC) (London). This represents a compound annual growth rate of 5.6%. In Europe, continued increases in LNG demand from Spain and France, and large-scale usage from the UK will significantly increase imports into Europe. In addition, there are many countries planning LNG terminals such as Germany, Poland and the Netherlands. Overall LNG demand in the region is forecast to reach 254 bcm by 2030. As such, the market for liquefied natural gas vehicles (L-NGVs) should strengthen concurrently as more countries incorporate LNG into their energy strategies... In the Asia Pacific region Japan and South Korea will remain the region’s largest LNG consumers. LNG demand growth in China and India will significantly increase during the study period. In addition, the Philippines, Thailand and even Indonesia are planning future LNG receiving terminals. LNG demand in the region is forecast to approximate 385 bcm by 2030...
