A recent analysis of Postia placenta’s genome, secretome and transcritome, may pave ways for better biofuel productions in the future. Postia placenta, also known as brown rot, can decompose plant, specifically wooden material rapidly.
In the recent scientific study, the international group of scientists found a system of extracellular enzymes that occurs uniquely in the rot [...]
Researchers forecasts a good price of $3 per gallon or Euros 0.8 per liter for the biosynfuel that will be produced through the Bioliq biosyncrude gasification method that has a capacity of more than 1 Mt/a.
The estimate price has a 30% margin which will translate into a price between US$2.72 and $5.03 per gallon. The [...]

Novozymes and its Chinese partner COFCO signs an agreement with another Chinese energy and oil company Sinopec for the possible commercial-scale production of cellulosic bioethanol from corn stover.
To date, China is the second-biggest corn producer globally, next to the US. The US Department of Agriculture projects a 16.5 million metric tons produce from China this [...]
Chevrolet, a division of General Motors, has been manufacturing cars powered by biofuel for the last eight years. According to Beth Lowery, GM Vice President, Environment, Energy and Safety Policy, “at GM, we believe that the biofuel with the greatest potential to displace petroleum–based fuels in the U.S. is ethanol.” GM’s preferred form of ethanol [...]

The race is on to find reliable and realistic foodstocks to produce biodiesel. In keeping with the rest of the world to voluntarily contribute to the advancement of alternative fuels, Bharat Petroleum Corp, Ltd, the state run oil refinery of India, has recently announced that it will commit nearly four hundred and eighty million dollars [...]

Doing not talking is important. It is not enough to say that we need to find better ways to power modern day cars. The best solution is to do something about the dilemma. And that is exactly what Bio-Beetle from Maui, Hawaii has done. They have taken a stand against traditional, dirty polluting cars and [...]
This has become a common topic and everywhere that you go you will find people discussing about natural gas car fuel. People are fed up with the sharp increase in the prices of both diesel and petrol and it is becoming tough for them to run their car on these standard fuels. People feel afraid [...]
People generally assume that when someone says alternative fuel, the new fuel must be better than gas or better for the environment. Unfortunately, this is not true. Alternative fuels can be equally as detrimental or worse than currently used fuels.
Remember that the word alternative only means another form. It does mean better or cleaner. Take [...]

Biodiesel is a substitute fuel comparable to usual or ‘fossil’ diesel can be shaped from direct vegetable oil, animal fats and waste cooking oil. The procedure used to exchange these oils to Biodiesel is known as transesterification. It is a non-petroleum diesel. The major feasible resource of suitable oil comes from oil crops like soybean; [...]
Unlike many of the hybrid and green cars at present on the market, hydrogen cars offer the comfort of zero emanation technology, where the merely derivative from the cars is water vapor. Contemporary fossil-fuel flaming vehicles give out all sorts of pollutants such as, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ozone, nitrous oxide, and microscopic particulate material. [...]
