Chinese scientists have developed a new method that dramatically increases the yield of a clean biogas fuel from rice straw.
In a major sustainability milestone for the industry, InEnTec Chemical LLC yesterday announced it successfully completed demonstration of its mobile Plasma Enhanced Melter(TM) (PEM(TM)) system for four of the world's largest chemical companies to produce ultra clean, hydrogen rich synthesis gas (referred to as "syngas") from chemical residuals that would normally be treated as hazardous waste and incinerated.
BioGold Fuels Corporation announced that it has entered into a letter of intent for a strategic alliance with ICM, Inc. to engineer, design, and build BioGold's municipal solid waste to energy plants. ICM will design, engineer, and construct BioGold's next planned waste to energy facility.
Perhaps there is no greater societal need for scientific know-how than in finding new ways to meet future energy demands. Skyrocketing gas prices, an uncertain oil supply, increasing demand from around the world, and the looming threat of climate change have made identifying and developing realistic energy alternatives a national priority.
Renewafuel LLC, a subsidiary of Cleveland-Cliffs Inc, will build a next-generation biomass fuel production facility at the Telkite Technology Park in Marquette, Mich. Projected to begin operations in the first quarter of 2009, the plant will annually produce 150,000 tons of high-energy, low-emission biofuel cubes from a sustainable composite of collected wood and agricultural feedstocks, including wood byproducts, corn stalks, grasses and energy crops.
According to the latest kbb.com Marketing Research study, 61 percent of new-vehicle shoppers believe that increased biofuel demand has tightened supplies of farmland and water worldwide, thereby pushing food prices up. In addition, the May 2008 study results reveal that 58 percent of new-car shoppers do not think that national and state governments should subsidize farmers who produce crops aiding in the production of biofuel, such as the production of corn for ethanol-based E-85.
Growing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere primarily from CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels are impacting the climate on earth. Replacing fossil fuels with forest fuels is becoming more and more urgent. That would reduce the net emissions of CO2 and the effects on the climate. This is shown in a dissertation from Mid Sweden University.
Ahead of a United Nations conference on food security and climate change, unfair blame has been leveled against the world biofuels industry as playing a major role in the food crisis we are experiencing today.
