Expanding Options And Identifying Obstacles Of Cellulosic EthanolWashington DC (SPX) Apr 14, 2010 Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists are figuring out how to turn wheat straw into ethanol "gold," and learning more about the bacteria that can "infect" ethanol plants and interfere with fuel production. At the ARS National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research (NCAUR) in Peoria, Ill., ARS chemist Badal Saha conducted a 5-year study that examined whether wheat straw-a crop residue left over after the grain has been harvested-could have commercial potential for cellulosic ethanol ... read more |
