Sandia method cheaper, greener, and cuts competition for fertilizer

The solid waste left over from wine-making could make a competitive biofuel, University of Adelaide researchers have found

Department of Energy’s BioEnergy Science Center's creation improves isobutanol yields by a factor of 10

Biochemist studies Camelina sativa—a nonfood oilseed crop—to see how it can be used for biofuel and other applications.

Discovery delivers high starch content, virtually no methane emissions.

Joint BioEnergy Institute study identifies bacterial protein that is key to protecting rice against bacterial blight.

We ask a lot of the land: feed the world with crops, power the world with bioenergy, retain nutrients so they don’t pollute our water and air. To help landscapes answer these high demands, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are designing ways to improve—and hopefully optimize—land use.

Clemson University's Institute of Translational Genomics, led by geneticist Stephen Kresovich, has been awarded $6 million by Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy as one of six projects seeking to accelerate the development of sustainable energy crops for the production of renewable transportation fuels.

Purdue University has been awarded $6.5 million by the U.S. Department of Energy for research aimed at producing superior strains of sorghum suitable for growing as a biofuel.

Competition for agricultural land and other climate mitigation factors could lead to more people going hungry.
