- 1. Scientists closer to understanding key to cellulosic biofuels Rank: 73%
- SHARE: | | Scientists closer to understanding key to cellulosic biofuels Carnegie Institution April 20, 2006 Cellulose -- a fibrous molecule found in all plants -- is the most abundant biological material on Earth. It is also a favored target of renewable, plant-based biofuels research. Despite overwhelming interest, scientists know relatively little about how plant cells synthesize individual cellulose fibers. However, recent work from the Carnegie Institution's Department of Plant Biology and...

- wrmcast.gif (3121 bytes) Adding problems: GE poplar, cellulose and biofuel The US Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research (DOE) is funding a $1.4 million, three-year study by Purdue faculty members to determine ways to alter lignin and test whether the genetic changes affect the quality of plants used to produce biofuels. A hybrid poplar tree is the basis for the research that is part of the DOE's goal to replace 30 percent of the fossil fuel used annually in the...

- |Tech | News Fungal diesel could revolutionise fuel production 00:00 04 November 2008 by Andy Coghlan For similar stories, visit the Energy and Fuels Topic Guide A fungus that can convert plant waste directly into diesel could allow us to generate biofuel without sacrificing food production. The fungus was discovered in leaves of the ulmo tree (Eucryphia cordifolia) which grows in Patagonia. It makes the diesel as a vapour, much easier than liquid fuel to extract, purify and store. "There's no...

- 4. Wood Cellulose - Alternative to Brazilian Ethanol? Rank: 71%
- Cellulose - Alternative to Brazilian Ethanol? The world's car makers are racing each other to produce powerful new models that run on ethanol-based fuels for the booming Swedish market. Sweden is a world leader in the use of biofuels. With the Swedish government investing a great deal of money in subsidising the rise of ethanol-powered cars, over 40,000 cars on the road here (1 percent of the four million cars) are flex-fuel models designed to run on a blend of up to 85 percent ethanol (E85). In...

- Gribble could hold the key to new generation of biofuels The Government-backed Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) announced yesterday that ?27 million would be invested in researching and creating a second generation of biofuels. The technology had been blamed for increasing world hunger by taking away land from food production, but the new generation of biofuels are more sustainable because they are produced from waste or crops planted on marginal land like willow....

- 6. Through Genetics, Tapping a Tree's Potential as a Source of Energy Rank: 71%
- into new energy sources, scientists are using a controversial genetic engineering process to change the composition of the wood. A major goal is to reduce the amount of lignin, a chemical compound that interferes with efforts to turn the tree's cellulose into biofuels like ethanol. Vincent L. Chiang, co-director of the forest biotechnology group at North Carolina State University, has developed transgenic trees with as little as half the lignin of their natural counterparts. "I think the...

- Hinge on Biomass Progress - Report The fast-expanding biofuels market could falter without significant progress in making fuel from biomass like plant stalks and wood chips, according to a report issued Wednesday. "Without a significant innovation in cellulosic ethanol, the biofuels market is likely to falter, or at least lack the pace necessary to satisfy a significant percentage of demand...", according to the report by BioWorld Today, which bills itself as the daily biotechnology newspaper....
