- 1. Report blasts corn-based biofuel health risks Rank: 74%
- corn-based biofuel health risks First-generation biofuels are not only failing to deliver expected cuts in carbon emissions but also pose a significant health risk, according to a new study from the University of Minnesota. The study, published in this month's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, calculates that while second-generation cellulosic biofuels made from grasses and crops such as jatropha can deliver significant benefits, the economic costs to human health and well-being...

- 3. Volatile corn prices cripple US biofuel firms Rank: 73%
- Volatile corn prices cripple US biofuel firms US company Pacific Ethanol has become the latest biofuel firm to suffer at the hands of high corn prices and falling gasoline prices, with the company recording a loss of $54.9m (?35.6m) for the third quarter despite sales rising 56 per cent year on year. Chief executive Neil Koehler blamed the performance on "unprecedented volatility in the corn and ethanol markets", adding that the company had been disappointed by "the resulting impact on margins"....

- Soybean Prices Surge on Biofuel Demand, Rally in Equities Corn rose to a five-week high and soybeans jumped the most in a month on speculation the worst of the banking crisis may be over, boosting demand for food, animal feed and fuel made from the crops. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke urged a sweeping overhaul of U.S. financial regulations to smooth out the boom- and-bust cycles in financial markets, sending U.S. stocks to their biggest advance in three months and gold to a one-month...

- Soils And Producing Biofuel With Corn Stover Those lonely cornstalks--called corn stover--left behind in the fields after the grain harvest is complete could someday become valuable raw material for the production of cellulosic ethanol. In the meantime, Agricultural Research Service (ARS) soil scientist Doug Karlen is determining which portion of the plant would work best for cellulosic ethanol production. He's also studying the amount of stover that needs to remain in the fields to prevent soil...

- SHARE: | | Switchgrass a better biofuel source than corn Rhett A. Butler, mongabay.com January 7, 2008 Switchgrass yields more than 540 percent more energy than the energy needed to produce and convert it to ethanol, making the grassy weed a far superior source for biofuels than corn ethanol, reports a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Collecting data from 10 farm sites in Nebraska, North and South Dakota in which farmers grew switchgrass in fields...

- 7. Biofuels May Hinder Antiglobal-Warming Efforts - WSJ.com Rank: 72%
- By GAUTAM NAIK While the U.S. and others race to expand the use and production of biofuels, two new studies suggest these gasoline alternatives actually will increase carbon-dioxide levels. A study published in the latest issue of Science finds that corn-based ethanol, a type of biofuel pushed heavily in the U.S., will nearly double the output of greenhouse-gas emissions instead of reducing them by about one-fifth by some estimates. A separate paper in Science concludes that clearing native...
