The invention provides an oligosaccharide debranching enzyme mutant and use thereof in a glucose mother liquor. The mutant is obtained by mutating valine at position 219 in SEQ ID NO: 1 into alanine. According to oligosaccharide debranching enzyme mutant V219A, a primary mother liquor, a secondary mother liquor, or a tail liquid after chromatographic separation is used as a substrate, the percentage contents of glucose in the products are 99.21% (primary mother liquor), 98.89% (secondary mother liquor) and 97.97% (tail liquid after chromatographic separation) respectively, which are 2.86%, 8.64%, and 28.67% higher than that of glucose obtained with the wild-type oligosaccharide debranching enzyme. Therefore, the mutant V219A obviously improves the percentage content of glucose in the glucose mother liquor, and the scope of application of the mother liquor can be expanded by the high product purity and substrate conversion rate, so the mutant V219A has higher industrial application value.

The present technology relates to biofuels, and more particularly, to biomass-based diesel from olefin oligomers. Diesel fuels with cetane number of 49 or greater are prepared by blending hydrocarbons produced by olefin oligomerization with renewable diesel, resulting in a blended fuel that has a lower cloud point than the cloud point of the renewable diesel. A different aspect relates to an integrated process for lipid HDO and olefin oligomerization wherein the propane coproduct of lipid HDO is subjected to dehydrogenation to produce a vapor stream having propylene and hydrogen. The propylene is subsequently oligomerized to iso-olefins and the iso-olefins are combined with the lipid feed for hydrogenation in the HDO reactor.

A process is hereby provided for permanently (>1000 years) reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The process involves the cultivation of tree and plant waste (biomass), the conversion of the biomass in a reactor to a carbon product, e.g., charcoal, and subsequent storage of the carbon product. The reactor used for conversion is run at a low temperature, e.g., 300-450°C. Thus, there is negligible cracking. The product is primarily a solid carbon product, which is safe and can be easily handled. The carbon product can also be safely stored. In one embodiment, the carbon product is buried in a location that is tested for limited oxygen at burial depths. The permanence of the CO; reduction is therefore assured.
