A new way of dramatically speeding up production of innovative bio-based fuels, materials, and chemicals

New discovery may ultimately make biofuels competitive with petroleum

A recent discovery by Sandia National Laboratories researchers may unlock the potential of biofuel waste — and ultimately make biofuels competitive with petroleum. Fuel made from plants is much more expensive than petroleum, but one way to decrease the cost would be to sell products made from lignin, the plant waste left over from biofuel

One-Stop Shop for Cellulosic Ethanol Biofuels

JBEI Researchers Develop First High-Gravity One-Pot process for Producing Cellulosic Ethanol The falling price of gasoline at the pumps may warm the hearts of consumers but it chills the souls of scientists who recognize that humankind must curtail the burning of fossil fuels to reduce the threat of climate change. Biofuels can help mitigate climate

Unlocking the Rice Immune System

Joint BioEnergy Institute Study Identifies Bacterial Protein that is Key to Protecting Rice against Bacterial Blight A bacterial signal that when recognized by rice plants enables the plants to resist a devastating blight disease has been identified by a multi-national team of researchers led by scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Joint BioEnergy

Lab breakthrough can lead to cheaper biofuels, improved crops, and new products from plants

Imagine being able to precisely control specific tissues of a plant to enhance desired traits without affecting the plant’s overall function. Thus a rubber tree could be manipulated to produce more natural latex. Trees grown for wood could be made with higher lignin content, making for stronger yet lighter-weight lumber. Crops could be altered so

One-Pot to Prep Biomass for Biofuels

The advantages of the “one-stop” shop have long been recognized in the retailing and services industries. Similar advantages would also be realized for the biofuels industry with the development of a “one-pot” processing system in which sugars could be extracted from biomass and turned into fuels in a single vat. A major step forward in

Making living matter programmable

Thirty years ago, the future lay in programming computers. Today, it’s programming cells. That was the message of panelists at an afternoon session yesterday (March 25) in Stanley Hall auditorium titled “Programming Life: the revolutionary potential of synthetic biology.” Co-presented by UC Berkeley’s Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC) and Discover magazine, the panels brought

Researchers Develop a New Candidate for a Cleaner, Greener and Renewable Diesel Fuel

Fragrant New Biofuel A class of chemical compounds best known today for fragrance and flavor may one day provide the clean, green and renewable fuel with which truck and auto drivers fill their tanks. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have engineered Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria to generate significant

Researchers Develop a New Candidate for a Cleaner, Greener and Renewable Diesel Fuel

Can Bacteria Produce “Drop-In” Biofuels?

Scientists are seeking help from microbes to produce road-ready biofuels By tweaking the smallest units of life, scientists are making bigger gains in producing alternative and renewable energy, with recent efforts aimed at molecule-level controls and promoting fractal growth patterns to create different fuels and improve efficiencies. Bacteria, which range from 0.5 to 5

New Advanced Biofuel Identified as an Alternative to Diesel Fuel

Alternative to Diesel Fuel Researchers with the U.S Department of Energy (DOE)’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have identified a potential new advanced biofuel that could replace today’s standard fuel for diesel engines but would be clean, green, renewable and produced in the United States. Using the tools of synthetic biology, a JBEI research team engineered
