INFORMATION OVERLOAD – What’s the Solution to my Problem?
Obtaining Vital Information – Part III
How do you sift all the available information to find only what you need to help you make sound decisions? It is worthwhile to know the best sources of information for your business. Many industries have websites, research reports or other sources [...]
Today in Biofuels Opinion: “Algae commercially grown in the ocean on specialized platforms could reduce the high costs.”
Manning Feraci, NBB’s Vice President of Federal Affairs: “The biodiesel tax incentive is working. Since its enactment in 2004, U.S. biodiesel production has reached commercial scale, and the nation has realized the job creation, environmental and energy security benefits that come with the expanded production and use of biodiesel. Biodiesel use is consistent with a [...]
Today in Biofuels Opinion: “financiers explaining why they aren’t touching this stuff with a 10 foot pole.”
From Global Carbon Project: “Scientists report a 29 per cent increase in global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel between 2000 and 2008 (the latest year for which figures are available), and that in spite of the global economic downturn emissions increased by 2 per cent during 2008. The use of coal as a fuel has [...]
50 Hottest Companies in Bioenergy: Special Voter’s Report on Algae
Algae, algae, algae.
Open up an industry magazine or a website, and there doesn’t seem to be an end to the hope, the hype, and the coverage.
What’s the big deal?
The background
Microalgae is a fast-growing organism that is highly efficient in converting sunlight, CO2 and micronutrients found in water into simple sugars. So efficient, that it stores [...]

Today in Biofuels Opinion: “Terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans have a much greater capacity to absorb CO2 than previously expected.”
Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis: “A recently-published study by the U.S. Geological Services found steady or declining levels of pesticide in Corn Belt waterways from 1996 to 2006, despite record increases in per-acre yields. With increasing frequency, farmers are using advanced practices to reduce runoff and protect water supplies. This report shows that each year [...]
