“With our patented SimplePath™ technology platform, we developed a new way to make valuable chemicals from plant-based energy sources, thereby reducing the pollution associated with traditional production methods.

Key Points:

“With our patented SimplePath™ technology platform, we developed a new way to make valuable chemicals from plant-based energy sources, thereby reducing the pollution associated with traditional production methods.
This includes isobutanol, which is an industrial chemical with potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially when used as aviation fuel,” said Mo Hayat, CEO of Invizyne.
BETO previously awarded Invizyne $2.08 million to develop and demonstrate conversion of cellulosic sugars to isobutanol, which the company successfully completed.
Hayat concluded, “Most people considered Invizyne’s approach to produce chemicals outside of living cells near impossible until we invented it.

Monday, October 16, 2023

WALTHAM, Mass. and BROOKLYN, N.Y., Oct. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --National Grid today is announcing the kickoff of a landmark study to support the electrification of commercial fleets, mapping out truck charging needs across nearly 3,000 miles of major highways in the U.S. Northeast. Funded by a $1.2 million grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the two-year effort to build a Northeast Freight Corridors Charging Plan will focus on highways with heavy trucking traffic, including I-95 and I-90, and areas with commercial activity, like the Port of New York and New Jersey.

Key Points:

The study led by National Grid will develop 20-year demand forecasts for more than 100 sites across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and all New England states.
"Readying our grid infrastructure for electric trucks will require careful planning and close collaboration across state lines," said Bart Franey, Vice President of Clean Energy Development in New York, National Grid.
"This DOE grant award brings the right stakeholders into the same room to chart a clear course for electric truck charging across the Northeast.
National Grid will also closely coordinate with CALSTART, the recipient of a similar DOE grant, to map out truck charging needs south of National Grid's study area.
