Biofuels
Berkeley Lab-led study unveils new source of robust cellulases in compost
Products made from converted lignin could subsidize biofuel production, making the cost of biofuels more competitive with petroleum
University of Delaware energy team develops processes to ramp up bio-based aviation fuel
Researchers at Ames Laboratory are experimenting with chemical reactions that decompose lignin models at low temperatures and pressures
Scientists tip balance of plant metabolism to increase oil content in leaves with aim of making biofuels and related useful chemicals
Researchers invent novel process for extracting sugars from wood
Bioproducts can replace much of the fuels, chemicals, plastics and other resources that are currently derived from petroleum, creating the potential for decreased reliance on oil
Organic waste such as yard trimmings, paper, wood, and food produces millions of tons of methane emissions at landfills every year in the U.S., but it could produce renewable natural gas and liquid fuels
The biofuel cells generate 10 times more power per surface area than any existing wearable biofuel cells
