Virent energy systems

APR [Aqueous-Phase Reforming] A process for making hydrogen or lower alkanes from carbohydrates, biomass, or glycerol from biodiesel production. The catalyzed process operates at a relatively low temperature (180 to 260°C). Developed from 2001 at the University of Wisconsin and later by Virent Energy Systems, which operated a demonstration plant from 2006. [Pg.22]

BioForming A proprietary version of APR developed at the University of Wisconsin since the early 2000s and now under development by Virent Energy Systems. Virent is cooperating with Royal Dutch Shell, Honda, and Cargill. The process won an Innovation Award from ICIS in 2008. Shell and Virent started a demonstration plant in Madison, WI, in 2010, which was operational in Jnne 2011. In June 2011, Virent announced that it expected to have a commercial plant for making p-xylene by this process under construction in 2014. [Pg.43]
