Abstract: A method for producing a light oil fraction from plant-based and/or animal-based fats, oils or greases is disclosed. The method comprises introducing a feedstock including free fatty acids into a processing system. The system is heated at a controlled rate to a specified temperature, both of which are selected to produce a light oil fraction with a reduced fatty acid content. The system is permitted to reflux for a predetermined time, during which more of the light oil fraction is produced. The light oil fraction is separated from the remainder of the feedstock and contains less than 10% free fatty acids.

Abstract: Provided are a method and a device with which carbon dioxide is used as a starting material to yield methanol, without requiring high-temperature high-pressure conditions or the addition of hydrogen, and fuel hydrocarbons such as gas oil or heavy oil are produced in a satisfactory yield. The method is a method for increasing the amount of a hydrocarbon oil, characterized by: mixing methanol with water into which air has been bubbled in the presence of a catalyst; mixing the resultant liquid mixture with the feed hydrocarbon oil to produce an emulsion; and contacting this emulsion with a gas or aqueous solution which contains carbon dioxide.

Abstract: Modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast that produce terminal alkenes are described. The modification of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast includes insertion of at least one heterologous fatty acid decarboxylase gene, deletion of FAA1 and FAA4, overexpression of HEM3, and triple-deletion of CTT1, CTA1 and CCP1. Methods of producing terminal alkenes by culturing and fermenting the modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast and optionally harvesting the terminal alkenes are also described. Mixtures of terminal alkenes produced by the modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, and methods of metabolically engineering a yeast for optimizing overexpression of one or more alkenes are also described.

Abstract: An enhanced Fischer-Tropsch process for the synthesis of sulfur free, clean burning, green hydrocarbon fuels, examples of which include syndiesel and aviation fuel. Naphtha is destroyed in a hydrogen generator and recycled as feedstock to a syngas (FT) reactor in order to enhance the production of syndiesel from the reactor. A further variation integrates a second hydrogen generator capturing light hydrocarbon gas for conversion to hydrogen and carbon monoxide which supplements the Fischer-Tropsch reactor. The result is a considerable increase in the volume of syndiesel formulated. A system for effecting the process is also characterized in the specification.
