However, biofuel production remains complex and costly, with efficiency challenges that limit its widespread adoption. To address these issues, experts are turning to nanotechnology to improve ...

As the world turns away from dirty energy sources, scientists are racing to find sustainable fuel alternatives that will provide as much power without planetary harm. Earlier last month, researchers ...

As stricter fuel regulations and pressures intensify for a solution to the rising greenhouse gas emissions, the maritime ...

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, led by chemical engineering professor Michael Timko, have created a new way to convert food waste into renewable fuel. COURTESY/WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC ...

Normally algae-to-fuel processing requires using oily types of algae, drying it, and finally extracting its oil. University of Michigan researchers have figured out a way to use less-oily types of ...

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonization (GCMD) has introduced a new technique that creates a fingerprint for Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) biofuels that can identify the origins of the fuel's ...

The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Agrobacterium in the wild causes damaging tumors in flowering plants ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Chemical engineers at Purdue University have developed a new method to process agricultural waste and other biomass into biofuels, and they are proposing the creation of mobile ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a method to accelerate stability testing of biodiesel fuel made from soybeans and also identified additives that enhance ...

A new methodology that could deter the “indirect” conversion of virgin or tropical forests for biofuel production has been trialled in Indonesia and Brazil. Prominent consultancy Ecofys, WWF and ...
