National Algae Association Meeting
The Woodlands TX (SPX) Nov 24, 2008The National Algae Association is growing at an astronomical rate. We are the first national trade association for the algae industry in the United States. Algae is renewable, does not affect the food channel and eats C02. Due to the high cost of oil, commercializing the algae oil industry is now on a fast track. Algae can be converted into fuels such as jet fuel, biodiesel, ethanol ... read more New Generation Biofuels Announces Test Burn Agreement 
Lake Mary FL (SPX) Nov 24, 2008New Generation Biofuels has announced that it has entered into a Test Burn Agreement with Progress Energy Florida to demonstrate its proprietary biofuel technology in utility boiler applications. The Agreement calls for New Generation Biofuels to supply its biofuel for a test program that will be performed in early 2009 at Progress Energy Florida's Bartow Plant in St. Petersburg. ... read more Stratos Renewables Secures Land Agreements For Sugarcane Ethanol Production 
Lima, Peru (SPX) Nov 26, 2008Stratos Renewables has announced that the company has secured enough land in the northern coastal region of Peru required for the production of up to 90 million gallons per year of sugarcane-based ethanol. Stratos intends to use this land for extensive sugarcane cultivation, milling and distillation into ethanol primarily for export. Peru has historically achieved some of the highest yields ... read more A Model To Measure Soil Health In The Era Of Bioenergy 
Madison WI (SPX) Nov 24, 2008One of the biggest threats to farmlands is the loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil organic matter (SOM) from poor land-management practices. The presence of these materials is essential as they do everything from providing plants with proper nutrients to filtering harmful chemical compounds to the prevention of soil erosion. Sustainable management practices for crop residues are ... read more US Sugar To Explore Building 100 Million Gallon Coskata Ethanol Facility 
Clewiston FL (SPX) Nov 21, 2008U.S. Sugar has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Coskata of Warrenville, IL to explore building a 100 million gallon per year cellulosic ethanol facility in Clewiston, Florida. The facility would be the world's largest second generation ethanol facility. It would convert left-over sugar cane material into ethanol, and would help Florida meet its aggressive second ... read more |

Cape Town, South Africa (SPX) Nov 21, 2008Significant potential exists for additional crop production in Southern Africa based on land availability. However, growing crops for biofuel feedstock will only be realised if there is concerted effort from key stakeholders to address the food shortages in the region. New analysis from Frost and Sullivan, Opportunities for Biofuel Feedstock Production in Southern Africa, finds that the ... read more Brazil Says Ethanol Having Little Impact On Amazon Basin 
Miami (UPI) Nov 19, 2008 Increasing ethanol production in Brazil will not lead to greater deforestation of the Amazon, as some critics of the world's largest ethanol exporter contend, according to a top Brazilian official at the outset of a five-day international biofuel conference in Brazil. Dilma Rousseff, the chief of staff for Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, told representatives from 40 ... read more BIO Thanks Senators For Supporting Sound Scientific Review In Renewable Fuel Standard Rule 
Washington DC (SPX) Nov 21, 2008The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency should implement new rules for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) in a timely manner that is consistent with the goals of achieving energy security and addressing climate change priorities. The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) has thanked Senators who sent a letter to EPA Administrator Johnson urging the agency to publish and seek comment on ... read more NASA Plans Test Of Electronic Nose On ISS 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Nov 20, 2008NASA astronauts on Space Shuttle Endeavour's STS-126 mission will install an instrument on the International Space Station that can "smell" dangerous chemicals in the air. Designed to help protect crew members' health and safety, the experimental "ENose" will monitor the space station's environment for chemicals such as ammonia, mercury, methanol and formaldehyde. The Enose fills the long ... read more American Palm Oil Council Applauds Tri-Rail's Switch To Biodiesel 
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 13, 2008The American Palm Oil Council (APOC), a U.S. association representing the Malaysian palm oil industry, applauds the South Florida Regional Transportation Authoritys decision to run eight of 10 Tri-Rail locomotives on a 99 percent blend of either palm or soy oil.

Paris (AFP) Nov 4, 2008Will the Ferrari of tomorrow be fungus-powered? A reddish microbe found on the inside of a tree at a secret location in the rainforests of northern Patagonia could unlock the biofuel of the future, say scientists. Its potential is so startling that the discoverers have coined the term "myco-diesel" -- a derivation of the word for fungus -- to describe the bouquet of hydrocarbons that it ... read more Innovation Valley Builds First-of-its-Kind Biofuels Facility
Knoxville TN (SPX) Nov 04, 2008Construction started this week in the Knoxville-Oak Ridge Innovation Valley of East Tennessee on a biofuel refinery that will use switchgrass, a perennial crop, as a feedstock to produce cellulosic ethanol. The pilot plant, a partnership between the University of Tennessee (UT), DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol and Genera Energy, should produce 250,000 gallons of ethanol by the end of ... read more Which Grass Will Power The Bioenergy Era
Ithaca NY (SPX) Oct 31, 2008A field of fuel dreams: Cornell bioenergy plant experts are learning which field grasses are the best candidates for "dedicated energy" crops in the Northeast, considering the region's climate and soil conditions. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences' (CALS) Bioenergy Feedstock Project, now in its second year, is the only project of its kind devoted to exploring the many species of ... read more Powered By Olive Stones - Turning Waste Stones Into Fuel 
Jaen, Spain (SPX) Oct 31, 2008Olive stones can be turned into bioethanol, a renewable fuel that can be produced from plant matter and used as an alternative to petrol or diesel. This gives the olive processing industry an opportunity to make valuable use of 4 million tonnes of waste in olive stones it generates every year and sets a precedent for the recycling of waste products as fuels. Researchers from the ... read more Commission to allow EU biofuels to stay 
Brussels (UPI) Oct 29, 2008 The European Commission is working on a new directive to allow certain biofuels produced in Europe to meet greenhouse gas emission rules.
