The Department of Defense awarded $1.9 million to a biofuel research team to turn wood and corn waste products into fuel precursors. Chemical engineer George Huber and colleagues developed new catalysts to allow low-cost conversion of woody plant fibers to liquid for easy refining to military fuel
The Department of Defense has awarded $1.9-million in funding to a biofuel research team led by chemical engineer George Huber at the University of Massachusetts Amherst so he and colleagues can turn wood and corn waste products into fuel precursors
Scientists have decoded genomes of two algal strains, highlighting the genes enabling them to capture carbon and maintain its delicate balance in the oceans
Scientists in Minnesota are reporting that production of bioethanol — often regarded as the clean-burning energy source of the future — may consume up to three times more water than previously thought
By creating a “family tree” of genes expressed in one form of woody plant and a less woody, herbaceous species, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered clues that may help them engineer plants more amenable to biofuel production
Higher energy costs have been found to have a greater effect on food prices than did the use of ethanol as a motor fuel
Though greenhouse gases are invariably at the center of discussions about global climate change, new NASA research suggests that much of the atmospheric warming observed in the Arctic since 1976 may be due to changes in tiny airborne particles called aerosols
The U.S. Postal Service has added to its list of more than 70 environmental awards by accepting a Climate Action Champion Award. The U.S. Postal Service is one of only two organizations recognized for leadership in advancing climate policy
Transforming cellulose to ethanol efficiently is a technical challenge that will transform the biofuels industry. Gulf Alternative Energy believes it has moved the industry much closer to economic viability with its preprocessing technology
Today, a leading national advocate for advanced biofuels released a new study showing that the production and use of a gallon of oil releases more climate change emissions than previously believed
