Using Bacteria In Oil Wells To Convert Oil To Natural GasKnoxville TN (SPX) Jun 18, 2010 Some bacteria destroy oil. Might those bacteria lead oil companies to change their methods of harvesting the energy of the oil while at the same time reducing the carbon dioxide that burning oil and gasoline discharges into the atmosphere? Steve Larter thinks that may be possible. Larter, professor of geoscience and holder of the Canada Research Chair in Petroleum Geology at the University of Calgary, was the keynote speaker for the 2010 Goldschmidt Conference hosted by the University of Tennessee ... read more |

Philadelphia, PA (SPX) May 24, 2010Existing technology can produce biodiesel fuel from municipal sewage sludge that is within a few cents a gallon of being competitive with conventional diesel refined from petroleum, according to an article in ACS' Energy and Fuels, a bi-monthly journal. Sludge is the solid material left behind from the treatment of sewage at wastewater treatment plants. David M. Kargbo points out in ... more 
Tel Aviv, Israel (SPX) May 20, 2010Plant geneticists are on a determined quest - to control auxin, a powerful plant growth hormone. Auxin tells plants how to grow, where to lay down roots, how to make tissues, and how to respond to light and gravity. Knowing how to manipulate auxin could thus have enormous implications for the production of biofuel, making plants grow faster and better. A recent publication in the journal P ... more

Biofuel combustion research neededLivermore, 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 |
