BAILEYVILLE A $12 million oil-to-natural gas conversion project at Woodland Pulp LLC, formerly Domtar, was given a big boost this week when a legislative committee approved the mills plans to proceed under state rather than federal regulation. This emergency change will need to be approved by the full Legislature.
JAY -- Verso Paper Corp. will hold a public information meeting on Thursday on its proposal to file an application to the state for a major air modification emission license. The project will add a natural gas option in the paper-making process that will increase the Androscoggin Mill's fuel flexibility and allow the mill to take advantage of lower cost, cleaner burning fuels, mill Communication Manager Cherilee Budrick said.
SALT LAKE CITY -- A House committee approved a bill Friday that will allow the state to regulate natural gas conversion kits for vehicles. HB70 would allow inspectors at the state level to inspect and certify vehicles retrofitted to run on compressed natural gas.
Velocys claims on its Web site that its patented microchannel process technology for the conversion of natural gas to synthetic petroleum products naphtha, diesel and jet fuel and paraffinic waxes is more efficient and less expensive than other GTL processes, in a smaller equipment footprint.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Department of Environmental Protection today issued technical guidance clarifying that natural gas conversions are authorized under the Pennsylvania Clean Vehicles Program. New passenger car or light-duty truck conversion systems certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the California Resources Air Board may be installed on vehicles in Pennsylvania.
Current fuel prices have driven investor interest in Northeast Oklahoma Technologies Inc. development, President Dennis Manning said. This technology would really excel in the underserved, stranded gas market. There's about 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas produced annually that's isolated from transmission lines or typical process conversions that would allow that material to enter the marketplace," Manning said.
A long-simmering fight among Republicans will burst onto the public stage Tuesday when the Senate votes on eliminating government subsidies for ethanol producers - the first skirmish in what is expected to be a much bigger war over tax breaks, carve-outs and other taxpayer funding that boosts U.S. businesses and can fund American jobs. Ethanol, which thanks to government mandates has become a standard auto fuel additive, is just one target for the free-market rebellion. A potentially bigger fight is brewing in the House over a bill that some Republicans are pushing to subsidize vehicles' conversion to using natural gas, which would be a huge boon for domestic energy producers, though opponents say it could cost taxpayers up to $64,000 per commercial truck.
