Barriers and opportunities in renewable biofuels production

2019-09-16

Researchers have identified two main challenges for renewable biofuel production from cheap sources. First, lowering the cost of developing microbial cell factories, and second, establishing more efficient methods for hydrolysis of biomass to sugars for fermentation.

Vampire algae killer's genetic diversity poses threat to biofuels

2019-09-16

New DNA analysis has revealed surprising genetic diversity in a bacterium that poses a persistent threat to the algae biofuels industry. With the evocative name Vampirovibrio chlorellavorus, the predatory pest sucks out the contents of the algae cells (thus the vampire reference) and reduces a productive, thriving, green algae pond to a vat of rotting sludge.

Advanced biofuels can be produced extremely efficiently, confirms industrial demonstration

2019-09-16

Researchers have developed new technologies that can be used to convert industrial plants to produce fossil-free heat, electricity, fuel, chemicals and materials. The technical potential is enormous -- using only Sweden's currently existing power plants, renewable fuels equivalent to 10 percent of the world's aviation fuel could be produced.

Biofuels from bacteria

2019-09-16

Scientists are working toward a better understand whether cyanobacteria can be grown for biofuels on a large scale.

Cheaper, greener biofuels processing catalyst

2019-09-15

Fuels that are produced from nonpetroleum-based biological sources may become greener and more affordable, thanks to new research that examines the use of a processing catalyst made from palladium metal and bacteria.
