Advanced Biofuels USA Announces 1st Annual Essay Contest: How Can Advanced Biofuels Become a Transformative Source for US Transportation? DEADLINE: October 1, 2022

(Advanced Biofuels USA) Open to all People of the Planet Twenty-Five Years Old and under  — 1st Place – $200, 2nd Place – $150, 3rd Place – $100  Advanced Biofuels USA is committed to bringing new ideas forward that would accelerate the use of advanced biofuels worldwide.

We think the young people of the world have some great ideas and we think all people, and especially decision makers, should know about them. That’s why we’re sponsoring an essay competition for all people on the planet under twenty-five years old.

 “We’re starting off this essay contest  by asking how advanced biofuels could be a transformative fuel source for the transportation sector in the United States,” said Joanne Ivancic, Executive Director of Advanced Biofuels USA. “The planes, trains, motor vehicles, ships, and construction equipment in the US produce about 30 percent of the nation’s greenhouse gases. This means changes in US transportation fuels GHGs could be a Big Bang for the Buck on the US’s and the planet’s climate change impact,” she continued.

Dr. Doug Root, President of Advanced Biofuels USA, thought that asking young people who are seeing the collision of climate change weather effects and high fossil fuel prices first-hand could help produce new and possibly breakthrough solutions. “After living through what they have for the past few years and looking forward to what the rest of their lives could be like, they know changes are needed. Because of the long life of GHGs, everyone on the planet is affected by all GHGs produced, no matter their production source. That’s why we’re inviting everyone under twenty-five on the planet to enter this challenge. I hope they’ll apply their ingenuity and knowledge to this essay challenge. We can’t wait to see the results!”

The inspiration for this essay challenge comes from the U.S. Naval Institute. “The Naval Institute started their essay contests in the 19th century, shortly after they were formed,” said Advanced Biofuels USA Treasurer Bob Kozak. “Former winners are a who’s who of people who later became key to naval thought and leadership. You’d recognize the names even if you’re not a naval historian. We hope we can start something similar in biofuel development.”

Besides the prize money, the three winning essays will be published on the Advanced Biofuels USA website.  Additionally, essay winners may be invited to submit short videos after they have been informed that they won.

The Details

The Question: How can Advanced Biofuels become a Transformative Source for US Transportation? 

The Essay: Essays of up to 1500 words (does not include author’s name or title). Essays must be in English, original and not previously published, on-line or in print, and not be considered for publication elsewhere. One essay per author. Reviewers will not know identity of authors.

The Reward: 1st Place – $200 (USD), 2nd Place – $150 (USD), 3rd Place – $100 (USD) 

The Author: Authors may be from anywhere on the Planet. They must be under 25 years old on December 31, 2022.

ACI’s European Carbon Capture and Storage Industry Summit   ---   September 14-15, 2022   ---   London, UK

While CO2 emissions from fuel combustion have been declining in Europe, industries like cement, iron and steel, aluminium, pulp and paper, and refineries have inherent CO2 emissions resulting from energy-intensive industry processes. CCS can provide a key contribution to tackling these sectors’ emissions. Furthermore, it can help removing carbon from the atmosphere through carbon removals such as bio-energy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) and be a platform for low-carbon hydrogen production. The Commission’s 2050 long term strategy depends in part on CO2 removal techniques based on CCS: either in combination with direct air capture or biomass to achieve climate neutrality. The target of climate neutrality has been written into the European Climate Law which requires a balanced Union-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals within the Union at the latest by 2050 and that the Union shall aim to achieve negative emissions thereafter.

The event will focus on the legislation, regulatory framework, infrastructure overview, potential issues and technology opportunities within the CCS industry. The conference will highlight the challenges to improve the cost-efficiency of CCS projects in Europe, along with the need to develop new CCS technologies in line with complying with regulations. The summit will also cover the need for shared business models as well as the insight of the future of CCS.
