Solazyme Completes World's Largest Microbial Advanced Biofuel Delivery To US MilitarySan Francisco CA (SPX) Sep 16, 2010 Solazyme has announced that it has completed delivery of over 20,000 gallons of algal-derived shipboard fuel to the U.S. Navy, constituting the world's largest delivery of 100% microbial-derived, non-alcohol, advanced biofuel. This delivery was in satisfaction of a contract announced in 2009 and included refining partner Honeywell's UOP and their proprietary UOP/Eni EcofiningTM process technology. Solazyme also announced the signing of a new contract with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) ... read more |

Boston MA (SPX) Aug 27, 2010Scientists have reported development of a new battery-like device that opens the possibility that people one day could "recharge" cell phones, laptops, and other portable electronics in an unlikely way ? with a sugar fix from a shared sip of soda pop or even a dose of vegetable oil. They described the device, the first fuel cell that produces electricity with technology borrowed from the b ... more

Urbana IL (SPX) Aug 24, 2010A University of Illinois metabolic engineer has taken the first step toward the more efficient and economical production of biofuels by developing a strain of yeast with increased alcohol tolerance. Biofuels are produced through microbial fermentation of biomass crops, which yield the alcohol-based fuels ethanol and iso-butanol if yeast is used as the microbe to convert sugars from biomass ... more |

Modified yeast can make more ethanolChampaign, Ill. (UPI) Aug 19, 2010 A genetically modified strain of yeast with a higher tolerance for alcohol could lead to more efficient and economical biofuel production, researchers say. A University of Illinois professor of microbial genomics says the modified yeast could improve microbial fermentation of biomass crops, a process that yields the alcohol-based fuels ethanol and iso-butanol as it converts sugars from biomass into biofuels, a university release said Thursday. "At a certain concentration, the biofuels th ... read more |
