New Biofuel Technology Produces 2.5% More Corn Bioethanol
In response to the food crisis that the first generation biofuel is causing (partially), an industrial producer of enzymes based in Denmark, Novozymes, has...
Agricultural Waste Biofuel Now a Reality, Thanks to Yeast
Agricultural plant waste could be turned into sustainable biofuel a new study from the University of East Anglia has found.
The study investigated over 70...
New Ethanol Conversion to Deliver More Energy
Researchers have found a new method of ethanol conversion that may be applied to the development of renewable fuels.
Ethanol, a corn-based product, is traditionally...
Algae Biofuel 50% Cleaner Than Petroleum, Study Suggests
There are many alternative fuel options available to us today, one of them being algae-derived biofuel. It has been found to be a viable substitute...
Research Finds Gas Prices Unaffected by Ethanol
New research from MIT has found the use of ethanol in gasoline does not significantly lower the price of gasoline. Former research had...
Obama Keeps Encouraging Alternative Fuel Industries in Georgetown Speech
I have always admired Obama's attitude towards green technologies. During a speech in Georgetown, he continued encouraging the biofuel industry and telling people that "the only way for America's energy supply to be truly secure is by permanently reducing our dependence on oil."
Fast-Food Lobbyists Fight Biofuel Law
American fast-food lobbyists are pushing back again an alternative fuel policy that requires gasoline to contain ethanol, a fuel produced from corn, and are...
Genetically Modified Switchgrass Offers Bright Perspective on Bioethanol
Ethanol is already being used to supplement gasoline, as you may already know. Still, researchers are trying to find methods to produce bio-ethanol from plant sources that are both less costly to grow and to process, while at the same time keeping the efficiency into account. Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers found how newly-modified prairie grass may be the perfect candidate.
European Report Expects Diminished Use of Biofuels
One alternative source of energy grows in trees...or almost! I'm talking about plants involved in the production of biofuels, like sugarcane, corn or palm...
Complex Algae-Powered Energy System Made by a 15-Year Old
This years scholarship prize of $20,000 of Invent Your World Challenge went to a 15 year old fellow from Texas called Javier Fernández-Han, who proved us all that renewable energy is the way we should direct our creativity upon.
