Taiwan's Feng Chia University has succeeded in boosting the production of hydrogen from biomass to 15 liters per hour, one of the world's highest biohydrogen production rates, a researcher at the university said Friday. The research team managed to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide (which can be captured and stored) from the fermentation of different strains of anaerobes in a sugar cane-based liquefied mixture. The highest yield was obtained by the Clostridium bacterium.
China's National Petroleum Corporation signs jatropha plantation deal with Yunnan province
Quicknote bioenergy investments
The China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC), the parent of PetroChina Co Ltd, has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with southern China's Yunnan provincial government on biofuel, the China News Service reports.
Under the agreement, CNPC will invest five million yuan (€490,000/US$645,000) to establish a first jatropha plantation base in the southwestern province.
Oil can be extracted from the seed of the Jatropha plant for processing into biodiesel. No further details were provided.
Earlier this month, the largest oil and gas producer also signed a deal with the government of eastern Shandong province to produce fuel ethanol and biodiesel, using non-grain crops such as cassava as the feedstock.
Initially, CNPC would produce 200,000 tons of fuel ethanol and 100,000 tons of biodiesel a year in Shandong. The company and the provincial government will cooperate in building supplementary raw material bases in Shandong.
Finally, CNP is also a partner in the large project announced earlier this year which consists of the establishment of a vast plantation of energy trees covering 13 million hectares in Southern China (earlier post) [entry ends here].
