In July, WELTEC BIOPOWER client Fernbrook Bio won the 2012 UK AD & Biogas Associations (ADBA) industry award for “Best Biogas Project”. The 1.5 MW biogas plant impressed the jurors with its efficient operation and overall concept, which provides for use of a biogas facility as a waste utilisation plant.
The AREVA group, a major player in renewable energies, has announced the acquisition of a technology enabling the production of bio-coal.
A new yeast gene that can increase the production yield of ethanol fuel has been discovered by iDiverse, a biotechnology company that develops genetically enhanced cell lines for bioproduction of pharmaceuticals, industrial enzymes, and fuel ethanol.
The peer-reviewed journal, Industrial Biotechnology, is featuring a review of the strategies that are available and also under development for improving biomass specifications for co-firing with coal.
Researchers have developed a novel strain of yeast using gene shuffling to improve the production of bioethanol.
WELTEC BIOPOWER, a manufacturer of biogas plants, has commenced construction of a 370 kW biogas plant in Bure, Switzerland. The electricity produced will be fed into the power grid and the excess heat will be utilized for heating the Swiss Army’s local barracks.
The result of a study carried out at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid evidences that to use biodiesel reduces emissions of greenhouse gases.
At a site in Laupheim, Germany, grass, maize and whole plant silage have been used for biogas production in the past four years. Erdgas Südwest processes the raw biogas into biomethane, which is then supplied through the own natural gas grid to end customers.
Solena Fuels has chosen Oxford Catalysts Group’s microchannel Fischer-Tropsch technology for utilization in a biomass-to-liquids (BTL) project being developed in the United Kingdom.
A new study conducted by researchers at North Carolina State University and the University of Illinois at Chicago found a statistical correlation showing that as prices increase, farmers make changes that result in higher per acre yields. Farmers also react to lower prices. The study's findings support the use of yield-price elasticity in indirect land use models, but found that commonly used models currently use factors at the low end of the actual range which underestimates real yield performance.
