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 Asia's biofuel dreams shelved as crude oil tumbles 
Kuala Lumpur (AFP) March 2, 2009Hopes of a biofuel bonanza for Southeast Asia, raised when sky-high oil prices made the search for alternative fuels a priority, have been shelved as global fortunes and crude prices nose-dive. Back when movie stars won plaudits for driving hybrid cars, and grains and oils were going cheap, regional governments grew excited over producing biofuel to lower energy costs and soak up agricultura ... read more |

San Antonio TX (SPX) Feb 24, 2009At the 14th annual National Ethanol Conference, Danish biotech pioneer Inbicon announced a series of technical and marketing initiatives for bringing commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol to North America. Under the banner of The New Ethanol, and in collaboration with the U.S.-based G-team, Inbicon is putting the finishing touches on new engineering and business model that incorporates its ... read more Shredding Corn Silage Could Produce More Ethanol At Less Cost 
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 Lignol Suspends Colorado Project Due To Market Uncertainty 
Vancouver, Canada (SPX) Feb 20, 2009Suncor Energy Products and Suncor Energy (U.S.A.), both wholly owned subsidiaries of Suncor Energy, and Lignol have determined it prudent not to enter into a joint venture to pursue the development of a cellulosic ethanol commercial demonstration plant in Grand Junction, Colorado given the instability of energy prices, the uncertainty in the capital markets and the general market malaise. ... read more |

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 Chemists Offer New Hydrogen Purification Method 
Boston MA (SPX) Feb 18, 2009President Barack Obama's pursuit of energy independence promises to accelerate research and development for alternative energy sources - solar, wind and geothermal power, biofuels, hydrogen and biomass, to name a few. For the hydrogen economy, one of the roadblocks to success is the hydrogen itself. Hydrogen needs to be purified before it can be used as fuel for fuel cells, but current ... read more E-Fuel And Sierra Nevada Brewing Join Forces
