The document discusses IH2 technology, which uses proprietary catalysts and hydrogen to convert biomass directly into hydrocarbon fuels. It can produce drop-in gasoline and diesel fuels from a variety of feedstocks like crop residues, waste, and energy crops. The process is nearly carbon neutral and produces fuels with a quality of R100, meeting gasoline and diesel fuel standards. It has undergone testing from lab scale to pilot plant scale. Commercial scale facilities are planned to begin construction in 2014.

Shell, with strategic support from SSE, are looking to develop the world’s first full-scale gas carbon capture and storage (CCS) project – the Peterhead CCS Project. The proposed project would see 10 to 15 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions captured from the Peterhead Power Station in the North East of Scotland and transported by pipeline offshore for geological storage deep under the North Sea.
In March 2013, the Peterhead CCS Project was chosen as one of two CCS demonstration projects in the UK to progress to the next stage of the UK Government’s CCS Commercialisation Competition funding. This funding allowed the Project to progress through the detailed design phase known as Front-End Engineering Design, or FEED.
Now, as the Project nears the end of this FEED phase of development, we were delighted to have Peterhead’s Business Opportunity Manager, Bill Spence join us for this webinar. In addition to giving an overview of the project and an update on recent developments, Bill also painted a picture of how this proposed project fits into Shell’s overall global CCS programme.
This presentation was prepared for the 2015 Benchmark Minerals Intelligence Battery Raw Materials | Supply Chain 20/20 World Tour and was presented in NYC and Toronto by CEO Paul Gorman.

At CMP of Rs 85, the company is trading at 6.1x its FY14 Adjusted EPS of Rs 13.9. Investors could buy the stock at the CMP and add on dips to Rs.70-76 band (~5.25 xFY14 EPS) for sequential target prices of Rs 111 and 125.
CRI/Criterion has deployed high-throughput tools for formulation of new catalyst compositions, and for testing the performance of the catalysts in several applications. This ability allows for screening of a large number of catalysts in a very short amount of time, significantly reducing the time required for catalyst development. The high-throughput screening ability has been proven in several areas of CRI/Criterion’s businesses, including chemicals and refining. High-throughput screening tools are equally, if not more, valuable in speedy deployment of biofuels and biochemicals from the lab to the market. Here we provide an overview of a program for rapid catalyst and process development to convert a mixed alcohol feed into gasoline and kerosene range hydrocarbons.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

18. – Cost-effective process developed by GTI using CRI proprietary
catalysts
– Converts biomass directly to hydrocarbon fuels and/or high quality
blend stocks
– Self-sufficient & self-sustaining w/ little lasting environmental
impact, needs only transport in/out
– Feedstock flexible
– Nearly carbon-neutral
– Integrated for potentially improved economics
– Currently in FEED (FEL-2/-3) for multiple feed demonstrations
– Available exclusively from CRI Catalyst Company

– Electricity conversion was estimated based on Mass Balance provided by J.P. Mukherji Associates Pvt. Range of electricity conversion was assumed based on
internal values for conversion . Low end total GW produced assumed an 80% efficiency and high end assumed no losses. Estimated electricity price applied to
calculation for the Low scenario assumed 80% of the retail electricity price was the selling rate per KWH back to the grid. High scenario assumed the selling rate
per KWH was the same as retail price.
