Algae were collected using the proven Algae Harvesting Hydronucleation Flotation Technology. The recovered algae were then processed using a breakthrough Hydrothermal Liquefaction technology to convert the recovered algae into biocrude. The algal biocrude is almost identical to fossil crude and can be refined using the same processes to create sustainable aviation fuel. The process additionally prevents greenhouse-gas release from decomposing algae. Coupling these novel technologies provides a closed-loop system that can restore our nation\u2019s impacted waterways and provide clean energy with virtually no waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-DYdMD35kAIzegvcF-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-DYdMD35kAIzegvcF-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-DYdMD35kAIzegvcF-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guizhou Zhengxi Expressway Project ESG Report<\/strong><br>Won by: China State Construction International Holdings Limited<br>Award: EBJ, Industry Leadership: Infrastructure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guizhou Zhengxi Expressway Project integrated ESG principles into the whole process of planning, design, construction and operation.

Argonne\u2019s early leadership showed an approach that has been adopted by other government labs\/agencies, utilizing ArchTam tools. Early Decarbonization planning led to IIJA-funding for Argonne\u2019s waste heat recovery project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-7uX6LELMQgugid-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-7uX6LELMQgugid-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-7uX6LELMQgugid-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-7uX6LELMQgugid.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Environmental Business International, Inc. and its awards selection committee recently announced winners of the 2022 Business Achievement Awards spanning the environmental and climate change industries.
