Biofuels
Findings of ASU team led by Raimund Fromme could have implications in the design of solar panels or renewable biofuels
Ahmed Osman has created a solution which is much more environmentally-friendly, effective, and cheaper than the commercial catalyst which is currently available on the market for the production of dimethyl ether
JBEI researchers create open-access web portal to accelerate functional genetic research in plants
A deeper understanding of the enzyme reactivity could also lead to improved computational models that will further guide industrial applications for cleaner forms of energy
Recent research shows that the environmental costs of using corn for biofuel are much greater, and the benefits fewer, than using corn for food
A recent discovery by Stanford University scientists could lead to a new, more sustainable way to make ethanol without corn or other crops
Turning sewage sludge into biocrude oil
The researchers targeted Chromochloris zofingiensis, a single-celled green alga that has drawn commercial interest as one of the highest producers of the best lipids for biofuel production
The magic key for turning all three components—cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin—of lignocellulosic (non-edible) biomass into distinct high-value products is gamma valerolactone
Neutron crystallography maps LPMOs that break down fibrous cellulose
