Felicia MesterGUEST
Shipping and chemicals demand is already building the project pipeline around renewable methanol.
Felicia MesterGUEST
ASTM approved methanol to jets this summer, which leaves a major technical barrier behind.
Felicia MesterGUEST
So the tack is new, but builds on methanol to olefins chemistry that's run commercially for decades.
Felicia MesterGUEST
The cost modeling for our report found that biomethanol, methanol to jet is among the lowest cost of the new soft pathways.
Felicia MesterGUEST
Now, the ether pipeline is more interesting in the sense and is much more evenly split.
Felicia MesterGUEST
In that sense, we have a 49% split for methanol to JET and the 51% fissure trops.
Felicia MesterGUEST
We did expect in our report ASTM approval in 2026-2027, and we're very happy that it came already in July of this year.
Felicia MesterGUEST
And that leaves a major technical barrier behind.
Mitch HoeftGUEST
Other places I've used it, I've had it running some pretty interesting thickness calculations for my CAPP liners.
Mitch HoeftGUEST
You know, ASTM's developed different ways that we can look at these liner calcs and how thick they should be.
Mitch HoeftGUEST
It's, we've developed some of our internal calculators, but those are constantly changing.
Mitch HoeftGUEST
Now there's a whole, I'm trying to think, I can't remember the name, but there's essentially a new liner that looks at the close fit nature and it takes into account that existing piping and it runs a whole different calculation.
Mitch HoeftGUEST
So AI is actually pretty good.
Mitch HoeftGUEST
If you tell it, I want ASTM F1216, I want to run it on this pipe given these constraints, it'll give you an accurate number that matches up exactly with their calculator.
Mitch HoeftGUEST
But it's allowed everybody to run those calcs.
Mitch HoeftGUEST
One of the things in the lining industry is I think the contractors got over on some of the cities is, you know, it's a very competitive industry.
James RoguskiGUEST
That's about 100 pounds per person.
James RoguskiGUEST
Now, 25% of that jet fuel, according to the specifications by the International Body ASTM, 25% of that jet fuel can be aromatic hydrocarbons, which are carcinogenic compounds like benzene.
James RoguskiGUEST
So 200 billion pounds of jet fuel is aromatic hydrocarbons that are carcinogenic.
James RoguskiGUEST
About 3% of that 800 billion pounds is naphthalene.
Rob SanchezHOST
Some want strain-driven profiles, and others want flavor-forward options like key lime pie or peach rings.
Rob SanchezHOST
He explains why the company brought a board-certified toxicologist onto the team six years ago, and how her methodology became part of an ASTM standard for vapes.
Rob SanchezHOST
We talk about what the wine aroma wheel could teach cannabis about common language, and why THC percentage does not predict what people enjoy.
Rob SanchezHOST
He also tells us how the team immerses itself in a flavor before building it, like eating the same childhood cereal every day for eight weeks to get cereal milk just right.
29 MINS LATER
Rob SanchezHOST
Yeah, I think both could be interesting threads.
Rob SanchezHOST
Let's start with measurements.
Rob SanchezHOST
We've seen the ASTM and more formal measurement guidelines being set for the industry and things like that.
Rob SanchezHOST
I saw there was some contribution on the true terpene side For that, can we talk about that a little bit? You bet.
Monica HernandezHOST
Entonces, fíjese, fue, esto no fue un esfuerzo chiquito porque tuvimos que ver dónde interactúan todas estas cosas y algunas de estas normas, eh, hacen colisión con la otra, sobre todo cuando son de entidades diferentes.
Monica HernandezHOST
Entonces, algunas de las APIs hacen colisión con las, ah, bueno, esta no, porque es la misma, con las ASTM.
Monica HernandezHOST
Eh, y encontramos que unas de ellas son super, super, superconservativas.
Monica HernandezHOST
Entonces, cuando los ingenieros antes usaban solamente, por ejemplo, el Norsok, y encontramos el número de Prehn, que ustedes deben saber qué es eso, que por ejemplo, para el titanio con agua salada es, es cierto número que es setenta o setenta y cinco, ochenta grados, que es donde empieza a formarse el pitting en aguas saladas y en ciertas condiciones.
GregHOST
I believe
BobHOST
I've, I, unfortunately you, this is the one thing I hate about the whole regulatory system where like ASTM, it's like, you can't just go look at it because you didn't pay money.
BobHOST
But as far as I'm aware, like, the seatbelts on those coasters are not even applicable under ASTM.
BobHOST
Like, they're not suitable for a ride of those forces.
BobHOST
That's what my understanding was.
Iain MartinHOST
So I think you're probably going to refer to a few abbreviations.
Iain MartinHOST
I think they are ASTM and ENCE.
Iain MartinHOST
You might as well just tell us exactly what they mean.
Al MorganGUEST
We're not going into what this stuff stands for.
Al MorganGUEST
It's all online.
Al MorganGUEST
We've spoken about it before.
Al MorganGUEST
But ASTM is the American standard, if you want.
Al MorganGUEST
Then ENC is the European standard.
James RoguskiGUEST
That's about 100 pounds per person.
James RoguskiGUEST
Now, 25% of that jet fuel, according to the specifications by the International Body ASTM, 25% of that jet fuel can be aromatic hydrocarbons, which are carcinogenic compounds like benzene.
James RoguskiGUEST
So 200 billion pounds of jet fuel is aromatic hydrocarbons that are carcinogenic.
James RoguskiGUEST
About 3% of that 800 billion pounds is naphthalene.
Federico OlivaresGUEST
Yeah, so basically every helmet type has a different type of testing.
Federico OlivaresGUEST
So there's an OXY, an ASTM helmet testing.
Federico OlivaresGUEST
So for football, it's more than OXY.
Federico OlivaresGUEST
But for, let's say, a bike or a skiing helmet, it might be an ASTM testing.
Federico OlivaresGUEST
So there's standards for impact.
Federico OlivaresGUEST
So on the front, the side, the crown, and all that.
Daniel KoppGUEST
Every technology starts with a mortar cube.
Daniel KoppGUEST
It's a small two inch by two inch ASTM standardized method of determining, do you have a good product or not a good product? And it's very helpful at the beginning of a technology when you can only make a handful, a literal handful of cement.
Daniel KoppGUEST
But as you scale the technology, the testing scale goes up.
Daniel KoppGUEST
And of course the technology scale goes up.
