Oslo (AFP) March 22, 2009Can the key to "clean" energy be found down in the sewer? That's the idea in Oslo, where city officials soon plan to introduce buses that run on biofuels extracted from human waste. As of 2010, the new buses are due to start plying the streets of the Norwegian capital. "It's a win-win situation: It's carbon neutral, it hardly pollutes the environment, it's less noisy and its endlessly re ... read more PetroAlgae Sprukes Next Gen Biofuels To World Biofuels Markets 09 
Brussels, Belgium (SPX) Mar 19, 2009At World Biofuels Markets (WBM) 09, the scene last year of mass protests against corn and soy based biofuels, PetroAlgae this year helped demonstrate the near-term commercial viability of algae-based biofuel. In contrast with corn and soy, algae does not compete with the food supply, actually consumes C02 (2.2 times its own weight), leaves no toxic waste during the harvesting process, is e ... read more Netafim To Supply Smart Irrigation Systems For Sugar Cane Project

Sacramento CA (SPX) Mar 09, 2009Growth Energy has called on the California Air Resources Board (ARB) to reject rules developed by its staff that would impose unfair standards in calculating the carbon intensity of fuels as part of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The ARB staff report calls for the adoption of a flawed indirect land use change (ILUC) theory that would only penalize biofuels while ignoring the signific ... read more Netafim To Supply Smart Irrigation Solutions For Peruvian Ethanol Project
Tel Aviv, Israel (SPX) Mar 09, 2009Netafim has entered into an EPC agreement with Maple, under which Netafim will provide engineering, procurement and construction of a drip irrigation system and become the exclusive supplier of smart irrigation solutions for Maple's sugar cane project to be constructed and operated in Peru.

Champaign IL (SPX) Mar 04, 2009University of Illinois plant geneticist Stephen Moose has developed a corn plant with enormous potential for biomass, literally. It yields corn that would make good silage, Moose said, due to a greater number of leaves and larger stalk, which could also make it a good energy crop. The gene known as Glossy 15 was originally described for its role in giving corn seedlings a waxy coating that ... read more Study Critiques Corn-For-Ethanol's Carbon Footprint 
Durham NC (SPX) Mar 04, 2009To avoid creating greenhouse gases, it makes more sense using today's technology to leave land unfarmed in conservation reserves than to plow it up for corn to make biofuel, according to a comprehensive Duke University-led study. "Converting set-asides to corn-ethanol production is an inefficient and expensive greenhouse gas mitigation policy that should not be encouraged until ethanol-pro ... read more Soybean Oil Reduces Carbon Footprint In Swine Barns 
West Lafayette IN (SPX) Mar 03, 2009One of agriculture's most versatile crops could one day play a role in combating climate change, Purdue University research shows. In addition to using soybeans in beverages, biofuel, lip balm, crayons, candles and a host of other products, Purdue agricultural engineers Al Heber and Jiqin Ni found that soybean oil reduces greenhouse gas emissions when sprayed inside swine finishing barns. ... read more |

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
