Jared Cohon, board chair for the Center for Sustainable Shale Development and president emeritus of Carnegie Mellon University, will share insight into incorporating diverse, impassioned opinions to frame effective policy in his talk, “Working Together on Shale Gas Policy and Practice,” Tuesday, April 15, at 4:30 p.m., in 155 Olin Hall.
The 2nd BBEST conference will be a forum for the presentation of results of research developed in São Paulo and abroad at the frontier of knowledge, and in all areas of bioenergy: technology, innovation, engines, environment, sustainability, land use, biomass, alternative fuels, among others - with emphasis on investigations undertaken under FAPESP Bioenergy Research Program (BIOEN).
Stanford University scientists have found a new, highly efficient way to produce liquid ethanol from carbon monoxide gas. This promising discovery could provide an eco-friendly alternative to conventional ethanol production from corn and other crops, say the scientists. Their results are published in the April 9 advanced online edition of the journal Nature.
On the less glamorous side of space exploration, there's the more practical problem of waste — in particular, what to do with astronaut pee. But rather than ejecting it into space, scientists are developing a new technique that can turn this waste burden into a boon by converting it into fuel and much-needed drinking water. Their report, which could also inspire new ways to treat municipal wastewater, appears in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering
Ameresco, Inc., a leading energy efficiency and renewable energy company, announced today that its biomass cogeneration facility located at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken, South Carolina, operational since January 2012 under the direction of DOE-SR Manager Dr. David Moody, is utilizing storm-damaged timber as a result of the major ice storm which impacted the U.S. southern region during February 11-13, 2014.
MagneGas Corporation, ("MagneGas" or the "Company"), a leading technology company that counts among its inventions a technology that converts liquid waste into a hydrogen-based fuel, today announced it signed an expanded joint venture agreement with technology partner Future Energy Pty Ltd of Australia.
In response to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) announcement it will halt new petitions for renewable fuel pathways for approximately six months, the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) today urged the agency to speed up rather than slow down the Petition Process for New Renewable Fuel Pathways under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). EPA first established the petition process in March 2010, as it finalized the rules for the RFS.
Intrexon Corporation, a leader in synthetic biology, today announced the formation of Intrexon Energy Partners (IEP), a joint venture with a select group of external investors, to optimize and scale-up Intrexon's gas-to-liquid (GTL) bioconversion platform for the production of fuels and lubricants. IEP's first target product is isobutanol for gasoline blending.
With biofuels being used globally on a wider scale than ever before, scientists are discussing the implications of their use on human and environmental health at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) 53rd Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Phoenix, Ariz.
Chicken fat, pork fat or beef fat –– none is the cornerstone of a healthful diet –– but animal fats, including those from alligators, could give an economical, ecofriendly boost to the biofuel industry, according to researchers who reported a new method for biofuel production here today.
