Presentation for the AIChE Spring Meeting on behalf of Bio-Optimized Technologies to Keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLE) project.
The efficacy, economics, and sustainability of a bio-based insecticide produced from the catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass is reported. This synergistic approach to fuels and agrochemical production can improve both energy and food sectors.
As next-generation technologies gain traction and change the marketplace, they allow the U.S. manufacturing sector to steadily evolve. However, they may be more energy and emissions intensive than current technologies. That’s why the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed the Materials Flows through Industry (MFI) tool to help manufacturers stay efficient and sustainable.
