It’s been about 18 months since RFS2 regulations went into effect. Aside from the changes in the core standards, as well as changes in policies regarding lifecycle analysis of biofuels and calculations of indirect land use changes, RFS also instituted a new central clearing house for all RIN transactions, called the EPA Moderated Transaction System (EMTS). This represented a significant change from RFS1 in the way that RINs are managed, recorded, reported, complied with and move through the chain of commerce. Instead of a 38-digit number that was recorded on paper and passed from company to company, EMTS provides a mandatory banking system that generates all RINs and manages their movements from one party to the next. http://whitepapers.opisnet.com/DisplayWhitepaper.aspx?whitepaper_id=151 Fri, January 20, 2012 12:00:00 EST RIN Attest and Advisory Services, LLC The demand for a clean, renewable biofuel increases as new benchmarks are legislated and increased pressure is placed on the petroleum industry to reduce America’s dependence on imported fossil fuels for energy consumption. Gevo® — a leader in next-generation biofuels — has developed and patented a cost-effective process, Gevo Integrated Fermentation Technology® (GIFT®), which converts fermentable sugars from sustainable feedstocks into isobutanol, a biobutanol product that provides solutions to many of the value chain issues highlighted by first-generation biofuels. In this paper, you’ll learn how isobutanol provides a renewable solution to improve the transportation fuels value chain. What you will learn: * Isobutanol is a dynamic platform molecule. * Isobutanol ships in pipeline systems. * Isobutanol can address future regulatory issues now. * Isobutanol mitigates end-user challenges. 16 pages. http://whitepapers.opisnet.com/ViewSurvey.aspx?survey=98&whitepaper_id=138 Fri, May 27, 2011 12:00:00 EDT Gevo Transportation Fuels Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can be crippling to petroleum refining, storage, and transportation, as well as to people exposed to even small concentrations. However, proper treatment of H2S with an appropriate H2S scavenger, such as Baker Petrolite SULFIX™ scavenger, will improve safety, environmental compliance, product quality, and process integrity management. The increasing market demands for hydrocarbon processing, coupled with the increase in the sulfur content of crude oils being processed in the world’s petroleum refineries, boost the need for H2S management. Nearly every hydrocarbon product entering or exiting the refinery, from flare gas and liquefied petroleum gas to crudes and resides, is subject to H2S contamination and its corresponding problems. Additionally, depending on specific regulations, penalties and fines can result from exceeding H2S emissions standards. 12 pages. http://whitepapers.opisnet.com/DisplayWhitepaper.aspx?whitepaper_id=133 Wed, March 16, 2011 12:00:00 EDT Baker Hughes
