Rolla MO (SPX) Oct 13, 2009Dr. Nam, Asst. Professor of Chemistry at Missouri University of Science and Technology is partnering with a coal plant in Chamois, Mo to produce algae in large pools near the plant's coal stacks. The algae feeds off the CO2 emissions from the coal plant and multiplies more quickly. He and engineers from the school are using a strain of Missouri native algae because it sinks to the bottom ... more 
Yerington NV (SPX) Oct 09, 2009Desert Hills Dairy Biodigester has begun plans and acquired land to construct the first biodigester in the State of Nevada at Desert Hills Dairy in Wabuska, near Yerington, Nevada. The biodigester will capture methane from the effluent from dairy cattle to generate clean electrical energy, highly nutritious and non-toxic liquid fertilizer, a mulch by-product and enough power to run both ... more 
Indianapolis IN (SPX) Oct 09, 2009For the last five years, Madison County farmer Mike Shuter has maintained the same crop rotation on his farm of two-thirds of his fields in corn and one-third in soybeans. He hasn't seen the need to increase his corn acres even with the evolution of the biofuels industry and its need for corn. This seems to be the trend across the state. Indiana farmers planted 5.7 million acres of corn in ... more |

Washington DC (SPX) Oct 02, 2009Advanced biofuel producers announced the formation of the Low Carbon Synthetic Fuels Association (LCSFA), with members including TRI, Rentech Inc., Velocys, CHOREN, Flambeau River Biofuels/Johnson Timber, AP Fuels and World GTL. The LCSFA was formed to address existing legislative and regulatory inequities that have slowed or even hindered the development of advanced biofuels. ... more 
West Lafayette IN (SPX) Oct 02, 2009More of the fertilizers and pesticides used to grow corn would find their way into nearby water sources if ethanol demands lead to planting more acres in corn, according to a Purdue University study. The study of Indiana water sources found that those near fields that practice continuous-corn rotations had higher levels of nitrogen, fungicides and phosphorous than corn-soybean rotations. ... more 
Singapore (UPI) Oct 1, 2009 Singaporean and Swiss scientists say using trash to produce biofuels might help solve the world's growing energy crisis and also reduce carbon emissions. The researchers said current biofuels produced from crops require an increase in crop production, which has its own severe environmental costs. However, second-generation biofuels, such as cellulosic ethanol derived from processed ... more |
