U.S.-India Consortium for Development of Sustainable Advanced Lignocellulosic Biofuel Systems The Biofuels Consortium is a collaborative effort focused on second-generation biofuels R&D under the PACE-R initiative. The project focuses on sustainable feedstock cultivation and supply, biochemical conversion technologies for production of second-generation biofuels with minimal environmental impact, and analysis of overall sustainability and supply chain of feedstock and biofuels. The feedstock development program focuses on breeding high-yielding switch grass and sorghum in the U.S., and sorghum, pearl millet and bamboo cultivars in India that can be grown on marginal lands. These marginal lands are in areas that are flood and drought prone in the U.S. along the Mississippi and Missouri river flood plains and the Midwestern states and salinity and drought prone areas in the central and western states of India. Two switch grass and sorghum lines were identified for high biomass traits and abiotic (drought and flood) stress tolerance. Genomic-assisted breeding will begin this summer for sorghum and next summer for switch grass. Small-scale field planting has proven that switch grass is highly productive on marginal lands compared to corn and soybean; large-scale field trials in collaboration with farmers were conducted this summer. The feedstock conversion program in the U.S. is developing a genetically engineered Escherichia coli for production of butyric acid, which would be subsequently converted to butanol. The Stan Mayfield Biorefinery Pilot Plant, operated by the University of Florida, is processing sugarcane bagasse to cellulosic ethanol at the 10,000-gallon fermentation level. Ethanol yield using this process averages about 70 gallons of ethanol per dry ton of bagasse. This pilot plant scale process as well as the corresponding microbial biocatalyst is currently being upgraded to increase cellulosic ethanol productivity, and the pilot plant will later process switch grass and sorghum. The pilot plant is available for the India consortium members for training purposes. The sustainability analysis program in the U.S. has developed an agent-based model for assessing economic impacts of biofuel markets along the supply chain. Stakeholder input is being gathered on switch grass-based butanol supply chain analysis. Work on development of certification protocols, lifecycle analysis, regional economic models, and data collection is in progress.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
