. And if the relatively small amount of diesel fuel used by these buses is replaced with sustainably-produced biodiesel,
#Extra-hairy microbes make biodiesel sustainable With the help of Geobacter microbes, biodiesel plants may be able to stop creating hazardous wastes
and eliminate fossil fuel from their production process. The platform, which uses microbes to glean ethanol from glycerol
wee come up with a way to allow producers to generate bioethanol, which replaces petrochemical methanol.
she adds. ne bacterium ferments the glycerol waste to produce bioethanol, which can be reused to make biodiesel from oil feedstocks.
Geobacter removes any waste produced during glycerol fermentation to generate electricity. It is a win-win situation.
to develop industrial-sized units that could handle the capacities of a full-scale biodiesel plant.
The next step will be field tests with a Michigan-based biodiesel manufacturer i
#New battery turns wasted heat into energy Stanford university rightoriginal Studyposted by Dan Stober-Stanford on May 22 2014researchers have developed a new battery technology that captures low-temperature waste heat
Synthetic yeast could also churn out more efficient biofuels such as alcohol butanol or biodiesel which could enable humanity to transition off of a petroleum economy Boeke said.
plant the right crop in the right place (Nanowerk News) Corn, wheat and rapeseed can be used to produce biofuels, such as bioethanol and biodiesel.
"This figure shows the duration of the payback times for greenhouse gases produced by corn-based bioethanol per intensively farmed crop location,
This figure shows the duration of the payback times for greenhouse gases produced by corn-based bioethanol,
These include bioethanol from corn, wheat and sugar cane, as well as biodiesel from soybeans and rapeseed. Food for discussion These results will contribute an angle of nuance to the current debate on biofuels in The netherlands.
In a follow-up study on biofuel crop farming Elshout and his colleagues hope to investigate the payback times related to the impact on biodiversity y
#Biodiesel made easier and cleaner with waste-recycling catalyst Researchers at Cardiff University have devised a way of increasing the yield of biodiesel by using the waste left over from its production process.
when biodiesel is formed from vegetable oil, and convert this into an ingredient to produce even more biodiesel.
It is believed this new process will have significant environmental benefits by improving the yield of biodiesel in a sustainable way that doesn't require the use of additional fossil fuels
and could potentially reduce the costs of the biodiesel production process. The results have been published today, 14 september, in the journal Nature Chemistry.
By 2020, the EU aims to have 10 per cent of the transport fuel of every EU country come from renewable sources such as biofuels.
At present, biodiesel is produced by combining fats and oils with methanol, which is derived usually from fossil fuels.
which could then be used as a starting reactant to create more biodiesel. To achieve this, the researchers reacted glycerol with water,
the researchers estimate up to a 10 per cent increase in biodiesel production, which they claim would be very helpful to industry at this point in time.
"Biodiesel manufacture is a growing part of the EU fuel pool, with statutory amounts being required to be added to diesel that is derived from fossil fuels."
"We've provided unprecedented chemistry that highlights the potential to manufacture biodiesel in a much more environmentally friendly,
"This paper shows how fundamental catalysis research can develop new mild processes to enhance the sustainability of biodiesel.
#Biodiesel made easier, cleaner with waste-recycling catalyst Researchers at Cardiff University have devised a way of increasing the yield of biodiesel by using the waste left over from its production process.
Using simple catalysis, the researchers have been able to recycle a non-desired by-product produced when biodiesel is formed from vegetable oil,
and convert this into an ingredient to produce even more biodiesel. It is believed this new process will have significant environmental benefits by improving the yield of biodiesel in a sustainable way that doesn't require the use of additional fossil fuels
and could potentially reduce the costs of the biodiesel production process. The results have been published in the journal Nature Chemistry.
By 2020, the EU aims to have 10 per cent of the transport fuel of every EU country come from renewable sources such as biofuels.
Fuel suppliers are required also to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of the EU fuel mix by 6 per cent by 2020 in comparison to 2010.

The top biodiesel crops--palm soybean, and rapeseed oil--are all the least energy efficient. However, they are also the cheapest to produce,
#Biodiesel production from Sugarcane A multi-institutional team led by plant biology professor Stephen P. Long from the University of Illinois reports that it can increase sugarcane's geographic range boost its photosynthetic rate by 30 percent
and turn it into an oil-producing crop for biodiesel production. These are the first steps in a bigger initiative that will turn sugarcane
will churn cow manure into bioethanol which can then be blended with conventional gasoline. The core of Calgren plant is an anaerobic digester built by DVO,
a compound that can be processed into biodiesel and higher-value products, such as soaps and detergents.
