Houston TX (SPX) Mar 12, 2008Gulf Ethanol will meet this month with several Central American ethanol producers to negotiate the conversion of existing plants to cellulosic feedstocks. Demand for cellulosic ethanol is high in these countries. Gulf will provide the technology, engineering and installation of cellulosic technology to the plant owners and will share in the profits of each plant. "The economics of cellulosic ... more UM Invention Promises Major Advance In BioFuel Production 
College Park MD (SPX) Mar 12, 2008University of Maryland research that started with bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay has led to a process that may be able to convert large volumes of all kinds of plant products, from leftover brewer's mash to paper trash, into ethanol and other biofuel alternatives to gasoline. That process, developed by University of Maryland professors Steve Hutcheson and Ron Weiner, professors of cell ... more Market For Clean Energy Will Reach 254 Billion USD By 2017 
Portland OR (SPX) Mar 12, 2008Global clean-energy markets are expanding rapidly, with revenues in four benchmark sectors - biofuels, wind power, solar photovoltaics, and fuel cells - up 40 percent from $55 billion in 2006 to $77.3 billion in 2007, according to the Clean Energy Trends 2008 report released today. The four sectors are projected to more than triple over the next decade, growing to $254.5 billion by 2017. ... more US Rush To Produce Corn-Based Ethanol Will Worsen Dead Zone In Gulf Of Mexico 
Vancouver, Canada (SPX) Mar 11, 2008The U.S. government's rush to produce corn-based ethanol as a fuel alternative will worsen pollution in the Gulf of Mexico, increasing a "Dead Zone" that kills fish and aquatic life, according to University of British Columbia researcher Simon Donner. In the first study of its kind, Donner and Chris Kucharik of the University of Wisconsin quantify the effect of biofuel production on the ... more Newly Defined Signaling Pathway Could Mean Better Biofuel Sources 
West Lafayette IN (SPX) Mar 10, 2008A newly defined biochemical pathway in plants may provide the scientific tools to design plants that will yield larger quantities of alternative transportation fuels than currently can be produced, according to Purdue University researchers.

Washington (AFP) March 4, 2008Top crude oil consumer the United States said Tuesday it is "imperative" to expand the use of renewable energy such as wind power and biofuels to reduce its dependence on foreign oil and slow global warming. A senior Bush administration official sounded the call at the opening of the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference, or WIREC 2008, which gathered representatives from more ... more Genetic code of corn cracked 
Tucson AZ (UPI) Mar 04, 2008U.S. researchers said they have cracked the genetic code of corn, one of the world's most important food and biofuel crops. Researchers from Washington University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Iowa State University and the University of Arizona used a genetic physical map created by the University of Arizona to complete a working draft of the corn genome. The group sequenced a ... more California's First Cow Power Project Opened 
Fresno CA (SPX) Mar 05, 2008Pacific Gas and Electric Company and BioEnergy Solutions have announced that their biogas-to-pipeline injection project in Fresno County has begun production of renewable natural gas derived from animal waste.
