According to foreign media reports, ExxonMobil and Renewable Energy Group announced on November 1, 2017, the two sides took advantage of REG's patent fermentation technology (fermentation), a joint demonstration of various types of non-edible biomass containing sugar into Feasibility of biodiesel.
In the preliminary phase, the two companies successfully validated the feasibility of using REG Life Sciences fermentation technology and several research methods aimed at producing multiple cellulosic sugar compositions from non-edible biomass. The study also demonstrated , Compared with conventional diesel, REG life sciences can significantly reduce the amount of new biodiesel greenhouse gas emissions throughout its life cycle.
In January 2016, ExxonMobil and REG signed an agreement to work on biodiesel research with the aim of obtaining renewable cellulosic sugars from feedstocks such as agricultural waste by means of fermentation technology. Both parties agreed to deepen their findings based on important findings The cooperation between the two sides, and actively explore the technology to achieve the possibility of mass production.
Black Technologies, Forward-Looking Technologies, ExxonMobil Biodiesel, REG Woody Sugar Sugar Diesel, REG Woody Fermentation Patented fermentation technology by REG Life Sciences uses a one-step fermentation process by which cellulose Sugar is converted to biodiesel Cellulosic feedstocks isolated from agricultural waste contain various types of sugars, including glucose, xylose and impurities that inhibit the fermentation process.
The two countries have made technological breakthroughs in the production of cellulose sugar, which is of far-reaching significance to the transportation industry.It is estimated that the relevant energy demand of the global transportation industry will increase by 25% by 2040 and the transportation industry will step up adoption of new technologies such as biodiesel , Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector and playing a key role in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
ExxonMobil also actively develops other emission reduction technologies, including: algae biofuels, carbon capture and sequestration.
