Sugarcane Ethanol Industry Eager To Implement US Renewable Fuel Standard
Washington DC (SPX) May 15, 2009The Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) has welcomed the White House's announcement that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will finally publish proposed rules to implement the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). UNICA confirmed that it would submit formal, detailed comments to the EPA in coming weeks. UNICA President and CEO Marcos Jank said from Brazil that his organizatio ... read more Mascoma Announces Major Cellulosic Biofuel Technology Breakthrough 
Lebanon NH (SPX) May 11, 2009Mascoma has announced that the company has made major research advances in consolidated bioprocessing, or CBP, a low-cost processing strategy for production of biofuels from cellulosic biomass. CBP avoids the need for the costly production of cellulase enzymes by using engineered microorganisms that produce cellulases and ethanol at high yield in a single step. "This is a true breakt ... read more Bioelectricity Promises More Miles Per Acre Than Ethanol 
Stanford CA (SPX) May 11, 2009Biofuels such as ethanol offer an alternative to petroleum for powering our cars, but growing energy crops to produce them can compete with food crops for farmland, and clearing forests to expand farmland will aggravate the climate change problem. How can we maximize our "miles per acre" from biomass? Researchers writing in the online edition of the May 7 Science magazine say the best bet ... read more Baltimore To Evaluate New Gen Biofuels 
Lake Mary FL (SPX) May 11, 2009Renewable fuels provider New Generation Biofuels Holdings has announced that it has signed a contract with the City of Baltimore, Maryland,("the City") to provide its renewable biofuel in an evaluation program for boiler applications in the heart of Baltimore. This is the first time the City of Baltimore has evaluated a non fossil fuel in its industrial boilers. In this program, New ... read more Propel Fuels Partners Up On Industry-leading Green Program 
Sacramento CA (SPX) May 05, 2009Propel Fuels ahs announced a partnership with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, to fuel Enterprise's rental cars in the Sacramento area with renewable E85 Flex Fuel.

Duluth MN (SPX) Apr 20, 2009Ethanol production in Minnesota and Iowa uses far less water overall than similar processes in states where water is less plentiful, a new University of Minnesota study shows. The study, which will be published in the April 15 edition of the journal Environmental Science and Technology, is the first to compare water use in corn-ethanol production on a state-by-state basis. The authors used ... read more Plant Gene Mapping May Lead To Better Biofuel Production 
Upton NY (SPX) Apr 20, 2009By creating a "family tree" of genes expressed in one form of woody plant and a less woody, herbaceous species, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered clues that may help them engineer plants more amenable to biofuel production. The study, published in Plant Molecular Biology, also lays a foundation for understanding these genes' evoluti ... read more The Impact Of Ethanol On Water Supplies 
St Paul MN (SPX) Apr 14, 2009At a time when water supplies are scarce in many areas of the United States, scientists in Minnesota are reporting that production of bioethanol - often regarded as the clean-burning energy source of the future - may consume up to three times more water than previously thought. Their study is scheduled for the April 15 issue of ACS' Environmental Science and Technology, a semi-monthly publ ... read more Analysis: Advanced biofuels roundup 
Washington DC (UPI) Apr 08, 2009With the economy tanking, federal officials are turning toward green energy as an economic and financial savior, and new biofuels are appearing increasingly attractive to legislators and industry for a number of reasons. More than a year ago, Congress passed a law requiring dramatic increases in biofuel production, ramping up national production from 8.5 billion gallons in 2008 to 36 b ... read more LifeSciences BC Applauds Investment In Support Of Bioenergy Sector 
Vancouver, Canada (SPX) Apr 08, 2009This morning, at Lignol Innovations, in Burnaby, Premier Gordon Campbell announced that the provincial government will invest over $32.6 million in support of BC's biofuel and clean technology development.

Geneva (AFP) March 31, 2009The international airline association IATA is aiming to approve biofuels for commercial flights by 2010 or 2011, its director general Giovanni Bisignani said Tuesday. Bisignani told a civil aviation industry meeting that recent tests by Continental Airlines, Japan's JAL, Air New Zealand and Virgin had shown that "next generation sustainable" clean burning biofuels worked. "We have made a ... read more Analysis: Brazil to increase ethanol 
Miami, April 1, 2009 Brazilian ethanol producers are reportedly gearing up to increase production of the alternative fuel in reaction to stronger sugar prices, energy experts said. Production of sugar-based ethanol in Brazil is expected to increase by 5 percent, and two-thirds of all sugar produced would go toward the creation of the fuel, Platts reported Tuesday, citing sources in the country's ethanol se ... read more Advanced Biofuel Companies Ask Congress For Comprehensive Biofuels Policy 
Washington DC (SPX) Apr 02, 2009Biofuel producers and biotechnology companies have asked Congressional leaders to help them overcome economic obstacles to obtaining financial backing and bring commercially ready advanced biofuels to the marketplace. The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) submitted a letter to Congressional leaders proposing six principles to guide development of legislation needed to support conti ... read more AE Biofuels Announces Strategic Agreement With Merrick And Company
