Using a genetically engineered microbe, researchers have developed a method to produce isobutanol directly from plant material. The method is both cost effective and does not require crops be grown, as it can use any woody material like agricultural and…
Ineos Bio plans to open a factory in Florida that will convert plant waste and garbage into electricity and ethanol. First they will gasify the waste then use a recently discovered bacterium that lives in chicken waste to convert the…
These loan guarantees are specifically for cellulosic ethanol not made from corn, and that’s a good thing. Instead the ethanol will be made from leftovers like woody biomass, animal fat, crop processing leftovers, and trash. Thus, they are turning a…
Biomass has low energy density relative to fossil fuels, and thus a conversion facility must have easy logistical access. In most cases, this means that biomass must be sourced close to the facility. This puts some limits on the size…
A Department of Agriculture reports suggests that after two decades of research into cellulosic ethanol with no technical breakthroughs, that algae biofuel and oil crops should get the funding. One problem with cellulosic is the logistics in getting hundreds of…
