It is still a matter of debate among policymakers and scientists whether biofuels have a place in the list of future clean energy portfolios although they are being studied as an energy source over many years. This dispute has led to the exploitation of other clean technologies like solar and wind which has overtaken the use of biofuels in actual practice. Biofuel developments are still not underway, because of their inherent drawbacks in terms of acceptance and feasibility.
A potential plant for biofuel production has been found on the roadside of North Australia.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) in collaboration with researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a workflow that integrates various omics data and genome-scale models to study the effects of biofuel production in a microbial host.
Alliance BioEnergy Plus, Inc. (the "Company"), is very pleased to announce the successful completion of its yearlong efforts to optimize its patented CTS technology to extract 100% of the sugar from virtually any cellulosic feed-stock after having it completed and proven by major industry ethanol producers.
Janssen-Cilag International NV today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a Positive Opinion, recommending broadening the existing marketing authorisation for ibrutinib as a single agent for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).
Running vehicles without the use of fossil fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, is an extremely challenging task. Biodiesel that is extracted from fats and natural oils is a potential alternative to these fossil fuels, but the high cost is its major drawback.
Chemical pre-treatments and separations are usually performed to break down raw biomass into liquid fuels. Now, for the first time, researchers have developed a new catalytic process that produces high quantities of clean liquid hydrocarbon fuel without using any separation or chemical pre-treatment methods. The study represents a major advancement towards renewable energy, and can go a long way in reducing our reliance on fossil fuel, which is a non-renewable energy.
To see biochemist Ee-Been Goh in the lab today, figuring out how to rewire bacteria to produce biofuels, one would never guess she was once so uninterested in school that she barely made it through junior high.
A few years ago, petroleum-based products, including gasoline, were not available at affordable prices, unlike the case today. However, the prices are likely to return to the same level in the coming years.
The U.S. is the largest oil consuming country in the world, exceeding all other nations across the globe. This fact highlights this unsustainable practice, and because of this Congress issued a new directive in 2007 to move from the limited petroleum-based oils to more sustainable sources.
