Alion To Analyze Promising Biofuel Energy CropMclean VA (SPX) Jul 14, 2010 Alion Science and Technology has been awarded a contract from the Biotechnology Research and Development Center (BRDC) to develop models that will assess options for processing pennycress seeds into biofuels. Pennycress is a potentially attractive biofuel source crop that produces twice the oil per acre as soybeans but can be grown by U.S. farmers in the winter and harvested in the spring between segments of a typical corn/soybean rotation. It takes full advantage of existing farm infrastructure w ... read more |

Washington DC (SPX) Jun 29, 2010Full implementation of the expanded Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS2) by 2022 would reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation fuels used in the Midwest by approximately 7.7% compared to 2005 levels, according to a new study released. With certain regional "enhancements" to the RFS2 program, the Midwest could readily achieve a 10% GHG reduction by 2022, according to the study. ... more |

Enzyme Trio For Biosynthesis Of Hydrocarbon FuelsBerkeley CA (SPX) Jun 25, 2010 If concerns for global climate change and ever-increasing costs weren't enough, the disastrous Gulf oil spill makes an even more compelling case for the development of transportation fuels that are renewable, can be produced in a sustainable fashion, and do not put the environment at risk. Liquid fuels derived from plant biomass have the potential to be used as direct replacements for gasoline, diesel and jet fuels if cost-effective means of commercial production can be found. Researchers wi ... read more |
