Biofuel Study Looks At Cost To Wildlife And Environmental DiversityCollege Station TX (SPX) Aug 05, 2010 Whether we can grow bio-energy crops such as switchgrass and forage sorghum isn't the question, said a Texas AgriLife Research scientist. The question is, where's the nitrogen going to come from to grow these crops and how much is it going to add to the cost of the end product, said Dr. Gerald Smith, AgriLife Research legume breeder based in Overton. And there also are hidden costs, such as the effect of fencerow-to-fencerow crops on wildlife and biodiversity, he said. "It's time to take th ... read more |

Drilling Down To The Nanometer Depths Of Leaves For BiofuelsLivermore CA (SPX) Jul 20, 2010 By imaging the cell walls of a zinnia leaf down to the nanometer scale, energy researchers have a better idea about how to turn plants into biofuels. In a paper appearing online in the journal Plant Physiology, a team from Lawrence Livermore led by Michael Thelen, in collaboration with researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, has used four different imaging techniques to systematically drill down deep into the cells of Zinnia elegans. Zinn ... read more |
