Bioenergy Choices Could Dramatically Change Midwest Bird DiverMadison WI (SPX) Oct 06, 2010 Ambitious plans to expand acreage of bioenergy crops could have a major impact on birds in the Upper Midwest, according to a study published in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Combining data from bird surveys and land usage, two University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers calculated changes in the number of bird species after widespread planting of bioenergy crops. The study compared two approaches to bioenergy feedstocks: monocultures of annuals, ... read more |

Synthetic Fuels Research Aims To Reduce Oil DependenceWest Lafayette IN (SPX) Sep 16, 2010 Researchers at Purdue University have developed a facility aimed at learning precisely how coal and biomass are broken down in reactors called gasifiers as part of a project to strengthen the scientific foundations of the synthetic fuel economy. "A major focus is to be able to produce a significant quantity of synthetic fuel for the U.S. air transportation system and to reduce our dependence on petroleum oil for transportation," said Jay Gore, the Reilly University Chair Professor of Combustion En ... read more |
