Omani researcher Zumrud Al Siyabiya has developed a method for extracting biofuel <\/strong>from <\/strong>shimeji mushrooms<\/a><\/strong>, Oman Daily<\/a> reported last week. Shimeji mushrooms produce biofuel that matches international specifications with an extracted percentage rate of 25%, Siyabiya says. The researcher is currently working on using bacteria to increase this percentage and exploring the development of new fungal strains that increase the efficiency of biofuel production.<\/p>\n

Why this matters: <\/strong>Researchers have found that mushroom waste<\/a> can serve as an abundant and cost-effective feedstock for producing various biofuels including biogas, biohydrogen, bioethanol, bio-oil, and solid biofuels3. Mushroom cultivation also acts as an efficient biological pretreatment for biofuel production, enhancing biofuel yield.<\/p>\n

Oman is making headway in biofuels:<\/strong> Omani-British green energy venture X2E revealed last month<\/a> that it will pour USD 1.6 bn into the production of biodiesel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and Camelina oil. Oman\u2019s first biofuels producer Wakud also revealed in June last year<\/a> its plans to establish a plant with a capacity of 250 tons per day. The Sultanate finalized a feasibility study with Be'ah in April 2023 for a new plant<\/a> with a capacity of 4.5k tons of municipal waste which is set to slash the carbon footprint of landfills by 50 mn tons in 35 years. <\/p>\n

Oman\u2019s first fish waste recycling plant going online soon:<\/strong> Wakud is also setting up a fish-waste recycling facility<\/a> and a vegetable and fruit waste-to-biogas plant, with work expected to begin by 2H 2024. The company operates WtE plants<\/a> that use waste products, including recycled cooking oil, to produce biofuels for offtakers including Oman Aluminium Rolling Company.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a wider biofuels push happening regionally:<\/strong> Saudi Arabia\u2019s Biofuel Company<\/a> inaugurated the first biofuel production plant in the country a year ago<\/a> converting reclaimed cooking oil into carbon-neutral biodiesel. Over in the UAE, two international consortiums submitted proposals last May<\/a> to the Emirates Water and Electricity Company and the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Company (Tadweer) for the development of a 900k ton capacity greenfield Waste-to-Energy (WtE) IPP facility in Abu Dhabi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
