From Farm to Flight: CoverCress as a Low Carbon Intensity Cash Cover Crop for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production. A Review of Progress Towards Commercialization

Thlaspi arvense L. (Field Pennycress; pennycress) is being converted into a winter-annual oilseed crop that confers cover crop benefits when grown throughout the 12 million-hectares U.S. Midwest. To ensure a fit with downstream market demand, conversion involves not only improvements in yield and maturity through traditional breeding, but also improvements in the composition of the oil and protein through gene editing tools. The conversion process is similar to the path taken to convert rapeseed into Canola. In the case of field pennycress, the converted product that is suitable as a rotational crop is called CoverCress™ as marketed by CoverCress Inc. or golden pennycress if marketed by others. Off-season integration of a CoverCress crop into existing corn and soybean hectares would extend the growing season on established croplands and avoid displacement of food crops or ecosystems while yielding up to 1 billion liters of seed oil annually by 2030, with the potential to grow to 8 billion liters from production in the U.S. Midwest alone. The aviation sector is committed to carbon-neutral growth and reducing emissions of its global market, which in 2019 approached 122 billion liters of consumption in the U.S. and 454 billion liters globally. The oil derived from a CoverCress crop is ideally suited as a new bioenergy feedstock for the production of drop-in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), renewable diesel, biodiesel and other value-added coproducts. Through a combination of breeding and genomics-enabled mutagenesis approaches, considerable progress has been made in genetically improving yield and other agronomic traits. With USDA-NIFA funding and continued public and private investments, improvements to CoverCress germplasm and agronomic practices suggest that field-scale production can surpass 1,680 kg ha -1 (1,500 lb ac -1 ) in the near term. At current commodity prices, economic modeling predicts this level of production can be profitable across the entire supply chain. Two-thirds of the grain value is in oil converted to fuels and chemicals, and the other one-third is in the meal used as an animal feed, industrial applications, and potential plant-based protein products. In addition to strengthening rural communities by providing income to producers and agribusinesses, cultivating a CoverCress crop potentially offers a myriad of ecosystem services. The most notable service is water quality protection through reduced nutrient leaching and reduced soil erosion. Biodiversity enhancement by supporting pollinators’ health is also a benefit. While the efforts described herein are focused on the U.S., cultivation of a CoverCress crop will likely have a broader application to regions around the world with similar agronomic and environmental conditions.

Data for Rapid and High-Throughput Determination of Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) Biomass Composition using Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Chemometrics

Compositional characterization of biomass is vital for the biofuel industry. Traditional wet chemistry-based methods for analyzing biomass composition are laborious, time-consuming, and require extensive use of chemical reagents as well as highly skilled personnel. In this study, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was used to quickly assess the composition of above-ground vegetative biomass from 113 diverse, photoperiod-sensitive, biomass-type sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) accessions cultivated under field conditions in Central Illinois. Biomass samples were analyzed using NIR spectra collected in the spectral range of 867–2536 nm, with their chemical compositions determined following the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) protocol. Advanced spectral pre-treatment and band selection techniques were utilized to develop calibration models using partial least squares regression (PLSR). The models’ effectiveness was assessed through cross-validation and independent data tests. The predictions for moisture, ash, extractives, glucan, xylan, acid-soluble lignin (ASL), acid-insoluble lignin (AIL), and total lignin were accurate and reliable, demonstrating the capability of NIR spectroscopy to provide rapid and precise characterization of sorghum biomass. The results demonstrated that NIR spectroscopy is an efficient tool for rapidly characterizing sorghum biomass, making it a sustainable option for screening desirable feedstock for biofuel or bioproduct production.

Bio-Based Polyurethane Materials: Technical, Environmental, and Economic Insights

Polyurethane (PU) is widely used due to its attractive properties, but the shift to a low-carbon economy necessitates alternative, renewable feedstocks for its production. This review examines the synthesis, properties, and sustainability of bio-based PU materials, focusing on renewable resources such as lignin, vegetable oils, and polysaccharides. It discusses recent advances in bio-based polyols, their incorporation into PU formulations, and the use of bio-fillers like chitin and nanocellulose to improve mechanical, thermal, and biocompatibility properties. Despite promising material performance, challenges related to large-scale production, economic feasibility, and recycling technologies are highlighted. The paper also reviews life cycle assessment (LCA) studies, revealing the complex and context-dependent environmental benefits of bio-based PU materials. These studies indicate that while bio-based PU materials generally reduce greenhouse gas emissions and non-renewable energy use, their environmental performance varies depending on feedstock and formulation. The paper identifies key areas for future research, including improving biorefinery processes, optimizing crosslinker performance, and advancing recycling methods to unlock the full environmental and economic potential of bio-based PU in commercial applications.

Production of mechanically-generated 316L stainless steel feedstock and its performance in directed energy deposition processing as compared to gas-atomized powder

The objective of this work is to study the feasibility of mechanically-generated feedstock for use in directed energy deposition (DED) processing. Mechanically-generated powder was created by machining 316L stainless steel bar stock followed by comminution of the resulting chips through oscillation ball milling. This methodology's production yield and processing time for the specifications of a commercially available DED system are presented along with resulting powder morphology. Performance of the mechanically-generated feedstock was compared to gas-atomized powder and evaluated based on the following figures of merit: flowability, printed part height, printed part density, and chemical compositional stability throughout processing. Mechanically-generated feedstock was created to meet deposition system requirements. Compared with gas-atomized powder, mechanically-generated powder did not flow as well through the powder-delivery system. Parts printed from mechanically-generated feedstock were generally taller than their counterparts from gas-atomized feedstock, but their densities were less predictable. As a result, chemical composition of prints using both feedstocks was within standard nominal compositions for 316L stainless steel.

Zero-gap microbial electrolysis cells for efficient hydrogen production from real liquid waste streams

Zero-gap microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) have demonstrated large current and hydrogen production rates from defined substrates in synthetic media, but operation with real waste streams has yet to be proved. This study evaluated the performance and 30-days stability of zero-gap MECs operated with effluent from a single-stage anaerobic digester. The system achieved a maximum current density of 8.8 ± 0.3 A/m 2 with a hydrogen production rate of 32 ± 6 L/L-d, and during 30 days of continuous operation, sustained an average current density of 7 ± 2 A/m 2 and a hydrogen production rate of 20.8 ± 0.2 L/L-d. Carbonate precipitation was identified as a major challenge to long-term stability, and mild acid washing effectively mitigated its adverse effects. The low buffer capacity of the effluent was primarily limiting performance. Furthermore, these findings underscore the significant impact of wastewater chemistry on MEC operation and validate the feasibility of utilizing real waste streams as viable feedstocks for biohydrogen production in zero-gap configurations.

Progress and roadmap for electro-privileged transformations of bio-derived molecules

Biomass incorporates carbon captured from the atmosphere and can serve as a renewable feedstock for producing valuable chemicals and fuels. Here we look at how electrochemical approaches can impact biomass valorization, focusing on identifying chemical transformations that leverage renewable electricity and feedstocks to produce valorized products via electro-privileged transformations. First, we recommend that the field should explore widening the spectrum of platform chemicals derived from bio-feedstocks, thus offering pathways to molecules that have historically been derived from petroleum. Second, we identify opportunities in electrocatalytic production of energy-dense fuels from biomass that utilize water as the hydrogen source and renewable electricity as the driving force. Finally, we look at the potential in electrochemical depolymerization to preserve key functional groups in raw feedstocks that would otherwise be lost during harsh pre-treatments in traditional depolymerization routes. Finally, on the basis of these priorities, we suggest a roadmap for the integration of biomass and electrochemistry and offer milestones required to tap further into the potential of electrochemical biomass valorization.

Valorization of Hemp-Based Packaging Waste with One-Pot Ionic Liquid Technology

The range of applications for industrial hemp has consistently increased in various sectors over the years. For example, hemp hurd can be used as a resource to produce biodegradable packaging materials when incorporated into a fungal mycelium composite, a process that has been commercialized. Although these packaging materials can be composted after usage, they may present an opportunity for valorization in a biorefinery setting. Here, we demonstrate the potential of using this type of discarded packaging composite as a feedstock for biofuel production. A one-pot ionic liquid-based biomass deconstruction and conversion process was implemented, and the results from the packaging material were compared with those obtained from untreated hemp hurd. At a 120 °C reaction temperature, 7.5% ionic liquid loading, and 2 h reaction time, the packaging materials showed a higher lignocellulosic sugar yield and sugar concentrations than hemp hurd. Hydrolysates prepared from packaging materials also promoted production of higher titers (1400 mg/L) of the jet-fuel precursor bisabolene when used to cultivate an engineered strain of the yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides. Box–Behnken experiments revealed that pretreatment parameters affected the hemp hurd and packaging materials differently, evidencing different degrees of recalcitrance. This study demonstrated that a hemp hurd-based packaging material can be valorized a second time once it reaches the end of its primary use by supplying it as a feedstock to produce biofuels.

Development of Clostridium tyrobutyricum as a Microbial Cell Factory for the Production of Fuel and Chemical Intermediates From Lignocellulosic Feedstocks

Microbial conversion of lignocellulosic substrates to fuel and platform chemical intermediates offers a sustainable route to establish a viable bioeconomy. However, such approaches face a series of key technical, economic, and sustainability hurdles, including: incomplete substrate utilization, lignocellulosic hydrolysate, and/or end-product toxicity, inefficient product recovery, incompatible cultivation requirements, and insufficient productivity metrics. Development of a production host with native traits suitable for high productivity conversion of lignocellulosic substrates under process-relevant conditions offers a means to bypass the above-described hurdles and accelerate the development of microbial biocatalyst deployment. Clostridium tyrobutyricum , a native producer of short chain fatty acids, displays a series of characteristics that make it an ideal candidate for conversion of lignocellulosic substrates and thus represents a promising host for microbial production of diverse carboxylate-derived product suites. Herein, recent progress and future directions in the development of this bacterium as an industrial microbial cell factory, with emphases on the utilization of lignocellulosic substrates and metabolic engineering approaches, is reviewed.

A recirculation system for concentrating CO 2 electrolyzer products

Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction represents a promising path to utilize CO 2 as a feedstock for generating valuable products such as fuels and chemicals. Faradaic efficiencies near 100% have been achieved for certain CO 2 reduction products such as CO, but the electrolyzer outlet streams usually contain large fractions of unreacted CO 2 , dropping the product concentrations below 1% in many cases. The system disclosed here recycles the unreacted CO 2 together with the products and flows them back into the CO 2 reduction reactor, enabling much higher CO 2 conversion rates without dropping the gas flow rate. However, simple recirculation is shown to accumulate significant amounts of hydrogen, impeding effective CO 2 reduction. In this looped system, an electrochemical H 2 pump is placed in series with the CO 2 reactor, which effectively removes all the H 2 from the recycled gas stream, increasing the concentrations of carbon-containing products. Here, the system was initially tested with a CO-generating catalyst and CO concentrations above 70% were achieved in the recycled gas stream, compared to a maximum CO concentration of 8% in single-pass configuration. Results with a CO 2 reactor targeting ethylene as the main product show that ethylene concentrations of at least 10% can be achieved, which is roughly 20 times higher compared to a single-pass system.

Carbon Cycling, Environmental & Rural Economic Impacts of Collecting & Processing Specific Woody Feedstocks in Biofuels

Woody biomass will be an essential feedstock for a large-scale cellulosic biofuel industry. The life cycle carbon accounting for the production of biofuels from woody feedstocks is complex and has engendered significant controversy. Issues such as below ground carbon, carbon debt, varied regional forest practices, multiple parallel forest product lines, and development of realistic counterfactual scenarios all contribute to the complexity. DOE funded CORRIM to develop comprehensive and definitive lifecycle inventories and assessments on the production of fuels from woody feedstocks. CORRIM brought together expertise in forest practices, short rotation woody crops, bioconversion of woody biomass, process modeling, and life cycle assessment to successfully accomplish this goal. The CORRIM team has developed data on forest productivity, fuel usage, and fuel production for six regionally specific forest systems. These six forest systems include three current commercial systems; southern pine plantations, Douglas-fir plantations, naturally regenerated Northeastern (NE) spruce/fir, and three ‘short rotation woody crops’, poplar, eucalyptus and willow, which are at different stages of demonstration in the US. The fuel production systems include cellulosic ethanol and bio-oil based hydrocarbons. The project was successfully reviewed at the BETO Program review in March 2015, 2017, and 2019 and has resulted currently in 19 publications and reports and 35 presentations at both national and international conferences, with more in the pipeline. See publications and presentations for links to each document. Finally, and most importantly, CORRIM has gone beyond the scope of the original DOE proposal to work closely with GREET at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to incorporate all the life cycle data and scenario models into their modeling system. GREET is the most widely used and definitive information source for evaluating lifecycle carbon emissions for fuels. The incorporation of CORRIM data from this project guarantees the results of the research will be extensively used and widely disseminated. Technical process improvements and policy relevant accomplishments are detailed in the relevant programmatic sections in the full report including citations therein. Highlights are summarized here for easy reference.

4D structural changes and pore network model of biomass during pyrolysis

Biochar is an engineered carbon-rich substance used for soil improvement, environmental management, and other diverse applications. To date, the understanding of how biomass affects biochar microstructure has been limited due to the complexity of analysis involved in tracing the changes in the physical structure of biomass as it undergoes thermochemical conversion. In this study, we used synchrotron x-ray micro-tomography to visualize changes in the internal structure of biochar from diverse feedstock (miscanthus straw pellets, wheat straw pellets, oilseed rape straw pellets, and rice husk) during pyrolysis by collecting a sequence of 3D scans at 50 °C intervals during progressive heating from 50 °C to 800 °C. The results show a strong dependence of biochar porosity on feedstock as well as pyrolysis temperature, with observed porosity in the range of 7.41–60.56%. Our results show that the porosity, total surface area, pore volume, and equivalent diameter of the largest pore increases with increasing pyrolysis temperature up to about 550 °C. The most dramatic development of pore structure occurred in the temperature range of 350–450 °C. This understanding is pivotal for optimizing biochar’s properties for specific applications in soil improvement, environmental management, and beyond. By elucidating the nuanced variations in biochar’s physical characteristics across different production temperatures and feedstocks, this research advances the practical application of biochar, offering significant benefits in agricultural, environmental, and engineering contexts.

Alternate routes to acetate tolerance lead to varied isoprenol production from mixed carbon sources in Pseudomonas putida

ABSTRACT Lignocellulose is a renewable resource for the production of a diverse array of platform chemicals, including the biofuel isoprenol. Although this carbon stream provides a rich source of sugars, other organic compounds, such as acetate, can be used by microbial hosts. Here, we examined the growth and isoprenol production in a Pseudomonas putida strain pre-tolerized (“PT”) background where its native isoprenol catabolism pathway is deleted, using glucose and acetate as carbon sources. We found that PT displays impaired growth in minimal medium containing acetate and often fails to grow in glucose-acetate medium. Using a mutant recovery-based approach, we generated tolerized strains that overcame these limitations, achieving fast growth and isoprenol production in the mixed carbon feed. Changes in the glucose and acetate assimilation routes, including an upregulation in PP_0154 (SpcC, succinyl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase) and differential expression of the gluconate assimilation pathways, were key for higher isoprenol titers in the tolerized strains, whereas a different set of mechanisms were likely enabling tolerance phenotypes in media containing acetate. Among these, a coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase (HemN) was upregulated across all tolerized strains and in one isolate required for acetate tolerance. Utilizing a defined glucose and acetate mixture ratio reflective of lignocellulosic feedstocks for isoprenol production in P. putida allowed us to obtain insights into the dynamics and challenges unique to dual carbon source utilization that are obscured when studied separately. Together, this enabled the development of a P. putida bioconversion chassis able to use a more complex carbon stream to produce isoprenol. IMPORTANCE Acetate is a relatively abundant component of many lignocellulosic carbon streams and has the potential to be used together with sugars, especially in microbes with versatile catabolism such as P. putida . However, the use of mixed carbon streams necessitates additional optimization. Furthermore, the use of P. putida for the production of the biofuel target, isoprenol, requires the use of engineered strains that have additional growth and production constraints when cultivated in acetate and glucose mixtures. In this study, we generate acetate-tolerant P. putida strains that overcome these challenges and examine their ability to produce isoprenol. We show that acetate tolerance and isoprenol production, although independent phenotypes, can both be optimized in a given P. putida strain. Using proteomics and whole genome sequencing, we examine the molecular basis of both phenotypes and show that tolerance to acetate can occur via alternate routes and result in different impacts on isoprenol production.

Evaluation of near-ambient algal biomass fractionation conditions for bioproduct development

This contribution describes an algal fractionation scheme based on cell lysing and carbohydrate hydrolysis under acidic conditions, coupled with solvent extraction, that produces algal lipids, carbohydrates, and proteinaceous solid from partially dewatered algal biomass. Here, a design of experiments analysis was employed to identify the effect of fractionation conditions on the yields of the three product streams. By selection of appropriate conditions, the process can be steered from simple lipid extraction to near complete fractionation of the biomass. Lipid purification and upgrading were respectively achieved with a low-cost adsorbent and an inexpensive Ni-based catalyst that deoxygenated the lipids via decarboxylation/decarbonylation, an approach offering several advantages over the hydrodeoxygenation-based processes typically employed to convert lipids to hydrocarbons. The proteinaceous solids obtained were found to have much lower ash content as well as higher protein content relative to the untreated algae, enhancing the suitability of this material as a feedstock for the production of bioplastics.

Switchgrass cropping systems affect soil carbon and nitrogen and microbial diversity and activity on marginal lands

Abstract Switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.), as a dedicated bioenergy crop, can provide cellulosic feedstock for biofuel production while improving or maintaining soil quality. However, comprehensive evaluations of how switchgrass cultivation and nitrogen (N) management impact soil and plant parameters remain incomplete. We conducted field trials in three years (2016–2018) at six locations in the North Central Great Lakes Region to evaluate the effects of cropping systems (switchgrass, restored prairie, undisturbed control) and N rates (0, 56 kg N ha −1 year −1 ) on biomass yield and soil physicochemical, microbial, and enzymatic parameters. Switchgrass cropping system yielded an aboveground biomass 2.9–3.3 times higher than the other two systems (Jayawardena et al., unpublished data) but our study found that this biomass accumulation did not reduce soil dissolved organic C, total dissolved N (TDN), or bacterial diversity. The annual aboveground biomass removal for bioenergy feedstock, however, reduced soil microbial biomass C (MBC) and microbial biomass N (MBN) and bacterial richness in the second and third years; despite this, continuous monocropping of switchgrass improved soil TDN, inorganic N, bacterial diversity, and shoot biomass in the second and/or third years compared with the first year. N fertilization increased aboveground biomass yield by 1.2 times and significantly increased soil TDN, MBN, and the shoot biomass of switchgrass compared with the unfertilized control. Locations with higher C and N contents and lower C:N ratio had higher aboveground biomass, MBC, MBN, and the activity of BG, CBH, and UREA enzymes; by contrast, locations with higher pH had higher soil TDN and activity of NAG and LAP enzymes. Our research demonstrates that switchgrass cultivation could improve or maintain soil N content and N fertilization can increase plant biomass yield. The comprehensive data also can inform future biogeochemical models to successfully implement switchgrass for bioenergy production.

Processing lunar soils for oxygen and other materials

Two types of lunar materials are excellent candidates for lunar oxygen production: ilmenite and silicates such as anorthite. Both are lunar surface minable, occurring in soils, breccias, and basalts. Because silicates are considerably more abundant than ilmenite, they may be preferred as source materials. Depending on the processing method chosen for oxygen production and the feedstock material, various useful metals and bulk materials can be produced as byproducts. Available processing techniques include hydrogen reduction of ilmenite and electrochemical and chemical reductions of silicates. Processes in these categories are generally in preliminary development stages and need significant research and development support to carry them to practical deployment, particularly as a lunar-based operation. The goal of beginning lunar processing operations by 2010 requires that planning and research and development emphasize the simplest processing schemes. However, more complex schemes that now appear to present difficult technical challenges may offer more valuable metal byproducts later. While they require more time and effort to perfect, the more complex or difficult schemes may provide important processing and product improvements with which to extend and elaborate the initial lunar processing facilities. A balanced R&D program should take this into account. The following topics are discussed: (1) ilmenite--semi-continuous process; (2) ilmenite--continuous fluid-bed reduction; (3) utilization of spent ilmenite to produce bulk materials; (4) silicates--electrochemical reduction; and (5) silicates--chemical reduction.

Towards an Integrated Process for CO 2 Capture and Utilization: Cultivation of Scenedesmus acutus Using Gaseous CO 2 and NH 3

Integrating CO 2 scrubbing from flue gas with its utilization in algae cultivation represents a potential means of lowering the cost of CO 2 capture. Towards this goal, this study sought to assess the feasibility of using gaseous a CO 2 /NH 3 stream, derived from CO 2 capture using aqueous ammonia, as a C- and N-source for algae cultivation. Scenedesmus acutus was cultured in 800 mL photobioreactors using gaseous CO 2 /NH 3 in mole ratios varying from 7 to 18. Excellent growth of Scenedesmus acutus was observed, the average growth rate for CO 2 /NH 3 = 10 of 0.171 ± 0.015 g/L·day exceeding that obtained using 1% CO 2 /N 2 and urea as the N-source (0.099 ± 0.28 g/L·day). Under optimal growth conditions (CO 2 /NH 3 mole ratio of 10), CO 2 utilization ranged from 57% to 72%, while the NH 3 utilization was >90%. The CO 2 /NH 3 feed rate was also found to exert a significant effect on algae productivity, excessive feed rates leading to accumulation of NH 3 in the culture at concentrations that were toxic to the algae. Consequently, to avoid the toxic effects of high NH 3 concentrations (>2.0 mM), it proved necessary to balance the NH 3 supply with the algae growth rate so that excessive NH 3 accumulation was prevented. This indicates that for practical applications, a CO 2 /NH 3 feed control strategy would be required that takes into account the ammonium ion concentration in solution and the pH so as to avoid significant concentrations of free NH 3 . Furthermore, analysis of the harvested biomass revealed a high protein (≥ 47 wt%) and a low ash content (< 3.6 wt%), suggesting it would be well suited for use as animal feed or as a feedstock for the production of bioplastics.
