Businesses and local governments aren’t doubting climate change, and they aren’t waiting to do something about it. Sea-Tac, USA may become the first airport to fuel all of its flights with biofuel.
Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific will switch to biofuels made from landfill rubbish on select long haul flights, reports said Tuesday, in an effort to cut harmful emissions.
Chemical engineers program yeast to convert plant sugars into oils.
The Netherlands will spend 150 million Euros on a program for farmers to turn cow poop into biogas using anaerobic digesters.
A new method of nearly doubling the efficiency of common yeast strain to convert plant sugars into biofuel has been discovered.
Last year, biodiesel use in the U.S. cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 18 million tons, or the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions of 3.8 million cars.
Scientists in Denmark have developed a process of "reverse photosynthesis" to use sunlight to breakdown biomass for use as fuel, a faster and cleaner process than existing methods.
Global waste to energy market was valued at USD 24.0 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach USD 36.0 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of around over 7.5% between 2015 and 2020.
The desert facility uses coastal seawater to raise fish and shrimp for food, while growing salt-tolerant plants that can be harvested to create biofuels.
The Chinese firm Kaidi announced that it wants to build a big biodiesel refinery in Kemi. Kaidi Finland's CEO says this signals a new phase in Finnish industrial history, driven by the need to replace fossil fuels with biofuels.
Scientists may have created a nano-reactor that can produce hydrogen fuel.
When biomass is combusted the carbon that once was bound in the growing tree is released into the atmosphere. For this reason, bioenergy is often considered carbon dioxide neutral. Research from Sweden, however, shows that this is a simplification. The use of bioenergy may affect ecosystem carbon stocks, and it can take anything from 2 to 100 years for different biofuels to achieve carbon dioxide neutrality.
In Copenhagen this week, a coalition of companies and associations involved in aviation biofuels made a strong case for the sector not only as a quick win for biofuels, but as a quick win for clean energy as a whole.
