In Hawaii, BioTork annoucned that it has converted unmarketable Hawaiian papayas to fatty acids that can be refined into green fuels. This result is a first milestone in a developmental research project conducted in collaboration with the US Dept of Agriculture Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center (USDA-PBARC) and Rivertop Solutions. The objective of the project […]
In Brazil, a University of Iowa study indicates that Brazillian ethanol fuel producers create up to seven times more air pollutants than originally believed. The new study used survey data to calculate emissions from 2000 to 2008. The results show that pollutants and greenhouse gases were 1.5 to 7.3 times higher than the estimate from […]
In Washington, the DOE announced that their Joint BioEnergy Institute has achieved a major breakthrough in engineering systems of RNA molecules through computer-assisted design, which could lead to important improvements across a range of industries, including the development of cheaper advanced biofuels. Scientists will use these new “RNA machines”, to adjust genetic expression in the […]

In California, researchers at UC Riverside have found a way to heighten a plant’s cellular response to drought. Plants under drought stress produce abscisic acid, a stress hormone to help the plant survive. The research, conducted at the laboratory of Associate Professor Sean Cutler, has now succeeded in supercharging the plant’s stress response pathway by […]

In Serbia, researchers at the University of Niš explores the effects of ultrasound action in biodiesel production including effects on enzyme catalysts. The research published in the February 2012 issue of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews also looks at how the process can reduce biodiesel production costs.

In the UK, researchers at Imperial College London say that the Christmas wrapping paper and Christmas cards used in the country could provide enough biomass to produce sufficient biofuel for driving a double-decker bus to the moon and back more than 20 times. Between the 1.5 billion cards and the 83 square kilometers of wrapping […]
In Germany, Ecofys Germany GmbH compiled a report on the market development for biodiesel in the German and international biodiesel markets. The report not only examines the production and sales development in the most important countries of the European Union, and the also takes the USA, Argentina, Malaysia and Indonesia aamong other countries. The trade […]
