Manila, Philippines (SPX) Oct 05, 2010Turning garbage into energy calls to mind the 1980s film "Back to the Future," which inspired whimsical images of future cars powered on waste. Since that time, the technology for turning trash waste into electricity and biofuel has become a reality. In just the past decade, research and experimentation has brought cleaner and more efficient conversion systems. Turning "MSW" municipal soli ... more 
Stockholm, Sweden (SPX) Oct 05, 2010Scania has been granted SEK 30 million - about EUR 3.3 million - by Sweden's Strategic Vehicle Research and Innovation Initiative (FFI) to develop a biofuel engine intended for heavy commercial vehicles. This research will show how the best characteristics of the diesel and the Otto principle can be combined in an engine that can operate on both alcohol- and gaseous methane-based fuels. Sc ... more

Searching In The Microbial World For Efficient Ways To Produce BiofuelAlbany CA (SPX) Sep 29, 201 With the help of genetic materials from a cow's rumen, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are developing new ways to break down plant fibers for conversion into biofuel. To convert corn stover and switchgrass into biofuel, the plant fibers must first be broken down into sugars. But cell wall polymers are cross-linked in various ways that make them very resistant to breaking down, according to Dominic Wong, a chemist at the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Western Regional Res ... read more |
