West Lafayette IN (SPX) Feb 24, 2009A Purdue University researcher has found a way to get more bang for fewer bucks when it comes to processing cellulosic material to make ethanol. By shredding corn stover instead of chopping, as is commonly done, about 40 percent less energy is needed to gain access to more of the material stored in the plant. Dennis Buckmaster, an associate professor of agricultural and biological engineer ... read more Renewable Biofuel For Cleaver-Brooks Boiler Test 
Lake Mary FL (SPX) Feb 24, 2009Renewable fuels provider New Generation Biofuels Holdings has announced that it is supplying Delta Chemical Corporation of Baltimore, Maryland, with its renewable biofuel in an evaluation program at Delta Chemical's Baltimore facility. "Delta Chemical Corporation has taken a proactive approach to renewable and sustainable energy and we are delighted to be working with them on this ... read more Opponenets Call On FTC Stop To Big Oil Bid For Alcohol Fuel Market Control 
Santa Cruz CA (SPX) Feb 24, 2009International Institute for Ecological Agriculture (IIEA) has announced that its members have launched a campaign to communicate public outrage and opposition to the Valero bid to acquire the assets of bankrupted independent Ethanol producer VeraSun. IIEA executive director and renewable biofuel expert, David Blume noted that Valero's offer clearly demonstrates the end-game strategy for ... read more |

Van Buren TWP MI (SPX) Feb 20, 2009Ricardo has revealed the development of technology that optimizes ethanol-fueled engines to a level of performance that exceeds gasoline engine efficiency and approaches levels previously reached only by diesel engines. The technology, called Ethanol Boosted Direct Injection or EBDI, takes full advantage of ethanol's best properties - higher octane and higher heat of vaporization - to ... read more MSU Scientists Speed Up Discovery Of Plant Metabolism Genes 
Chicago IL (SPX) Feb 19, 2009Michigan State University researchers are dramatically speeding up identification of genes that affect the structure and function of chloroplasts, which could lead to plants tailored specifically for biofuel production or delivering high levels of specific nutrients. Chloroplasts, which are specialized compartments in plant cells, convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into sugars and ... read more The Future Global Demand For Biofuels 
Miami FL (SPX) Feb 19, 2009Gunster shareholder James E. McDonald who serves as the general counsel for the International Biofuels Commission (IBC) recently addressed the critical need for infrastructure and logistics to support worldwide biofuels production and trade during a recent presentation to members of the Canning House in London, the prestigious headquarters for the Hispanic and Luso Brazilian Council, a non-polit ... read more Blade Switchgrass Management Guide For Bioenergy Now Available 
Thousand Oaks CA (SPX) Feb 19, 2009A new crop management guide is available for producers interested in learning more about growing switchgrass as a non-food, low-carbon source for biofuels and biopower. Published by Blade Energy Crops, a seed brand of Ceres, the guide features the latest thinking among agronomists for this multi-year crop, including criteria for seed variety selection, field preparation and planting rates ... read more Biofuels, Like Politics, Are Local 
Chicago IL (SPX) Feb 19, 2009Field work and computer simulations in Michigan and Wisconsin are helping biofuels researchers understand the basics of getting home-grown energy from the field to consumers. Preliminary results presented suggest that incorporating native, perennial plants during biofuels production reduces emissions of greenhouse gases, improves water quality and enhances biodiversity. The results are ... read more |

Livermore, Calif. (UPI) Feb 12, 2009 A nine-month study has found plant and forestry wastes and dedicated energy crops could replace nearly a third of U.S. gasoline use by 2030. The research conducted by the Sandia National Laboratories and the General Motors Corp. was designed to discover whether and how much cellulosic biofuels could be sustainably produced. Researchers said they assessed the feasibility, implicat ... read more Process turns raw biomass into biofuel 
Madison, Wis. (UPI) Feb 12, 2009 U.S. biochemists say they have developed a two-step chemical process that can convert cellulose in raw biomass into promising biofuels. University of Wisconsin researchers said the new process is unprecedented in its use of untreated, inedible biomass as the starting material. They said the key to the new process is the first step, in which cellulose is converted into the "platform" ... read more Large Volumes Of Cellulosic Biofuels Can Be Sustainably Produced By 2030 
New York NY (SPX) Feb 13, 2009Large-scale production of advanced biofuels beyond the level of the Renewable Fuel Standard is achievable and sustainable by 2030, with accelerated development of biofuel and agricultural technology. The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) has welcomed the release of The 90-Billion Gallon Biofuel Deployment Study, a new report by Sandia National Laboratories and General Motors Corp ... read more USDA considers using GE corn for ethanol 
Washington (UPI) Feb 5, 2009 The U.S. Department of Agriculture is considering approving the use of genetically engineered corn for use in manufacturing ethanol. The Agriculture Department recently ended the public comment period for its proposal to permit, for the first time, widespread cultivation of a food crop engineered for biofuel production. If authorized, officials said the new ethanol corn would also ... read more Morphic Awarded Patent On Method For CO2 Capture And Liquid Fuel Production
