Archer Daniels Midland Company has received $24.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop and build a manufacturing facility that will produce renewable fuel from biomass. The ADM Advanced Biorefinery project will manufacture ethanol fuel and ethyl acrylate compound that is used to manufacture a range of materials including plastics, coatings, and adhesives. This project is one among 19 biofuel projects to receive funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Environmental Defense Fund released a case study on 3 December, 2009. This case study projected all the efforts carried out by Poland Spring Water Company in order to reduce the emissions of carbon by reducing the idling time of the truck fleet. Maine’s environment has been protected by Poland Spring for a long time with an aim to develop measures that would create a meaningful impact on the local communities.
Sapphire Energy has received an award of $104.5 million for its efficient energy work. Sapphire Energy, which is considered as a leading company in algae-based fuel technology, received this award, as a part of President Obama’s American Recovery and Investment Act and the Biorefinery Assistant Program, which gained its authorization through the Farm Bill of 2008. The US Department of Energy issued this grant for $50 million and the US Department of Agriculture issued the loan guarantee for $54.5 million.
Reportlinker has updated its website with a report titled, ‘China Bioethanol Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2013’. The report provides a detailed forecast and detailed analysis of the bioethanol market at global level and in particular to China bioethanol market.

Chief Ethanol Fuels is engaged in the production of bioethanol, delivering about 62 million gallons every year. The ethanol plant of the company employs a continuous flow Vogelbusch process. The company runs the grain feedstock through hammer mill that grinds it into fine powder. This powdery meal is mixed with an enzyme known as alpha-amylase and water. When the mixture is heated to a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit, it becomes as a mash.
