Our method is both simple and inexpensive and at the same time achieves better results than all these other systems Alison Sweeney of the University of Pennsylvania has been studyi... Read more
An almost entirely accidental discovery by University of Guelph researchers could transform food and biofuel production and increase carbon capture on farmland. By tweaking a plant... Read more
A new study from a UVA environmental scientist and colleagues shows about a third of the world’s malnourished population could be fed by using resources now used for biofuel produc... Read more
Biofuels pioneer Mascoma LLC and the Department of Energy’s BioEnergy Science Center have developed a revolutionary strain of yeast that could help significantly accelerate t... Read more
The efficient production of both biofuel and animal feed from 1 crop is now possible, and can be done on a farm without the need for off-site processes The efficient production of... Read more
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a simple, effective and relatively inexpensive technique for removing lignin from the plant material used to make biof... Read more
Prospects for economic and sustainable fuel alternative enhanced with discovery Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have developed a method for great... Read more
Limited availability of fossil fuels stimulates the search for different energy resources. The use of biofuels is one of the alternatives. Sugars derived from the grain of agricult... Read more
“This technology could have a payback period of less than one year.” All chefs know that “you have to break some eggs to make an omelet,” and that includes engineers at Iowa... Read more
A new biofuel production process created by Michigan State University researchers produces 20 times more energy than existing methods. The results, published in the current issue o... Read more
A Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University research team has developed a process that removes a key obstacle to producing low-cost, renewable biofuels from bacteria. The tea... Read more
Two types of raw materials are currently used for biorefining and biofuel production: carbohydrates and lipids. Biofuels like ethanol are derived from carbohydrate raw materials su... Read more
The biofuel industry stands to benefit from the development of a new variety of yeast which produces ethanol from plant products more efficiently. Engineered by combining two exist... Read more
