Scientists have charted a significant signaling network in a tiny organism that's big in the world of biofuels research. The findings about how a remarkably fast-growing organism conducts its metabolic business bolster scientists' ability to create biofuels using the hardy microbe Synechococcus, which turns sunlight into useful energy.
Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have developed a method for greatly enhancing biofuel production in tiny marine algae.
Although invasive Asian carp have been successfully harvested and served on a dinner plate, harvesting invasive plants to convert into ethanol isn't as easy.
Global Bioenergies announces its decision to construct its second industrial pilot on the site of the Leuna refinery, close to Leipzig in Germany. This new pilot plant, to be supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) through a EUR 5.7 million grant, should include a 3 year study at the Fraunhofer Center for Chemical-Biotechnological Processes (CBP). The pre-commercial pilot is designed for an isobutene production capacity of up to 100 tons per year.
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories will use their expertise in protein expression, enzyme engineering and high-throughput assays as part of a multiproject, $34 million effort by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) aimed at developing advanced biocatalyst technologies that can convert natural gas to liquid fuel for transportation.
A mere tinkering with the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the corn ethanol mandate by the Environmental Protection Agency will not help relieve the impacts of artificially-high food prices, according to a grassroots food coalition.
The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) and its advanced biofuel members will make every effort to correct a flawed proposed rule on the 2014 volume obligations for the Renewable Fuel Standard, the group said today in response to the official release of the proposal.
Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Analysis and Outlook of the Global Biofuels Industry
Researchers studying more effective ways to convert woody plant matter into biofuels at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have identified fundamental forces that change plant structures during pretreatment processes used in the production of bioenergy.
What: The University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil a new steam hydrogasification reactor system. Following the ceremony, university researchers will conduct a tour and demonstrate how the technology works. California Energy Commission Chair Robert B. Weisenmiller will be in attendance to speak about the commission’s support of hydrogasification technology. State and local government officials in attendance will include: Senator Richard Roth, Assemblymember Jose Medina and Mayor Rusty Bailey of Riverside.
