As a biofuel, ethanol has drawbacks. Conventional engines and infrastructure can corrode when exposed to it. The alcohol can absorb water from the air, reducing its already low energy density and ...

Researchers have developed technologies to efficiently produce, recover and separate sugars from the fast pyrolysis of biomass. That's a big deal because those sugars can be further processed into ...

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency recently announced $5.2 million funding for Renergi to design and construct an innovative pilot scale biofuel production facility Perth. ARENA CEO Ivor ...

Pyrolysis - a process of biomass decomposition - can be organized automatically for heat generation out of the most common type of biomass such as peat and straw. That is, it is sufficient to heat ...

Save those rinds, grounds, and scraps! You may be able to use them to heat your home or power your car. Garbage is a viable source of renewable energy, and the energy potential of biomass is the ...

The Carbon Trust has created a consortium of British businesses led by Axion Energy to pioneer the development of a commercially viable process to turn municipal and wood waste into transport biofuel.

Oil and gas giant ExxonMobil Corp. is investing $1 million over two years to establish an advanced biofuels research program at Iowa State University, the partners said today. The ExxonMobil biofuels ...

The global push for sustainable energy and carbon-neutral fuels has accelerated the innovation in biomass-to-energy conversion. Traditional methods like combustion, gasification, and anaerobic ...

When it comes to biofuels we have choices. We can do it poorly, using short-run approaches with no potential to scale, poor trajectory, and adverse environmental impact. Or we can do it right, with ...

But before it goes into planes, the rubbish will be processed at GreenSky London: a biofuels plant under construction on the eastern side of the city. Each year, the facility will take in some 500,000 ...

Biomass. Biofuel. What's the difference? Biomass is what's used as the feedstock to produce biofuel, which can then has a wide range of applications: from firing power stations to fuelling jet ...
