In Tennessee, last month, FedEx continued its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) procurement momentum, beginning to take delivery of blended SAF at two additional U.S. airports for the first time: Chicago-O’Hare Airport and Miami International Airport. The start of these fuel deliveries in October marked the company’s second and third deployments of blended SAF at a […]
In Tennessee, POET has finalized its acquisition of Green Plains Obion, which will now be known as POET Bioprocessing – Obion, a bioethanol facility in northwestern Tennessee. With this milestone, POET’s portfolio grows to 35 bioprocessing facilities across nine states, bringing its annual production capacity to 3.1 billion gallons of bioethanol. POET also produces 15 […]
In Tennessee, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory conducted a meticulous analysis of the compounds released by plant roots into their surrounding environment. The analysis yielded an abundance of data that can guide research aiming to improve the way we grow energy and food crops. Researchers have long known that the […]

In Tennessee, scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, inside plant cells using a technique that results in a visible fluorescent signal. The technology can help researchers detect and track changes in RNA and gene expression in real time, providing a powerful tool for the […]
In Tennessee, a team of scientists from two Department of Energy Bioenergy Research Centers identified a gene in poplar trees that enhances photosynthesis and can boost the height of trees by about 30% in the field and as much as 200% in a greenhouse. The gene, named BOOSTER, is a chimeric gene—one formed by the […]
In Tennessee, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Cincinnati achieved a breakthrough in understanding the vulnerability of microbes to the butanol they produce during fermentation of plant biomass. The discovery could pave the way for more efficient production of domestic fuels, chemicals and materials. The team used […]
In Tennessee, scientists need a better understanding of what is happening both above and below the soil. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have led the way in using a unique measurement tool to analyze plants, soil, and other biological samples. It’s part of the work that scientists have done for more […]
In Tennessee, a team of scientists with two Department of Energy Bioenergy Research Centers — the Center for Bioenergy Innovation, or CBI, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation, or CABBI, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign — identified a gene in a poplar tree that enhances photosynthesis […]
