Biofuel combustion research needed
Livermore, Calif. (UPI) May 12, 2010
U.S. scientists say they've embarked on needed research into the chemistry of biofuel combustion. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore and Sandia national laboratories in California say a better understanding of the key elements of biofuel combustion will be important in developing the next generation of alternative fuels. Sandia researcher Nils Hansen and Lawrence Livermore scientist Charles Westbrook lay out the diverse and complex chemical reactions of biofuel combustion in a paper publi ... read more

More Economical Process For Making Ethanol From Nonfood Sources
San Francisco CA (SPX) Mar 31, 2010
Scientists in Wisconsin are reporting discovery of a way to lower the cost of converting wood, corn stalks and leaves, switch grass, and other non-food biomass materials into ethanol fuel. They describe their process, which reduces amounts of costly enzymes needed to break down tough fibrous cellulose matter in biomass for fermentation into alcohol, here today at the 239th National Meeting of th ... more
