A team of Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funded scientists at the University of Essex has discovered a new mechanism that slows the process of carbon dioxide fixation in plants.
Chevron Corporation and Weyerhaeuser Company today announced the creation of a 50-50 joint venture company focused on developing the next generation of renewable transportation fuels from nonfood sources.
Efficient-V, Inc. announced today its new technology, called Efficient-V, for increasing the fuel efficiency of engines.
Novozymes has been working on enzyme development for cellulosic ethanol, where agricultural residues like straws and corn stover are converted into ethanol, since 2001 when we received a previous Department of Energy-funded project.
With crude oil, gasoline, and home heating oil prices near all-time highs, energy security in the US is one of the most common themes among the presidential candidates. While Democratic and Republican candidates alike agree that energy security should be high on the next president's agenda, their plans for achieving that goal vary widely.
Commercializing of clean technologies is in stage of moving into global mainstream business. The driving forces are climate change, energy security and increasing energy prices. In the energy sector, these factors, are pushing clean technology markets of biomass, biofuels, solar, wind and fuel cells in the extent that cleantech is seen to be a next engine for economic growth.
Delivering all-day runtime in a notebook PC is a Holy Grail for battery manufacturers, PC OEMs, and fuel cell developers.

Researchers have found that the first step in building new cell walls in plants is the assembly of a scaffold made of structural proteins. This finding could lead to engineered plants that are better materials for biofuels production. Since plant structural proteins can self-assemble, this knowledge may also be useful to the field of nanotechnology.
While sampling blended biodiesel fuels purchased from small-scale retailers, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found that many of the blends do not contain the advertised amount of biofuel.
