Green diesel: New process makes liquid transportation fuel from plants

University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering researchers have discovered a new way to make a diesel-like liquid fuel from carbohydrates commonly found in plants. Reporting in the June 3 issue of the Journal Science, Steenbock Professor James Dumesic and colleagues detail a four-phase catalytic reactor in which corn and other biomass-derived carbohydrates can be converted to sulfu...

Ethanol and biodiesel from crops not worth the energy

Turning plants such as corn, soybeans and sunflowers into fuel uses much more energy than the resulting ethanol or biodiesel generates, according to a new Cornell University and University of California-Berkeley study. "There is just no energy benefit to using plant biomass for liquid fuel," says David Pimentel, professor of ecology and agriculture at Cornell. "These strategies are not su...

Finding a better way to make biodiesel

They're only 250 billionths of a meter in diameter. But fill them with the right chemistry and Iowa State scientists say the tiny nanospheres they've developed could revolutionize how biodiesel is produced. The researchers are after a new, high-tech catalyst that takes some of the energy, labor and toxic chemicals out of biodiesel production. They've come up with a technology that works in...

Biodiesel won't drive down global warming

EU legislation to promote the uptake of biodiesel will not make any difference to global warming, and could potentially result in greater emissions of greenhouse gases than from conventional petroleum derived diesel. This is the conclusion of a new study reported today in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. Analysts at SRI Consulting compared the emissions of greenhouse gas...

Biodiesel study targets cleaner air, cleaner engines

Cleaner engines, cleaner air and more uses for local farm products were the focus of a just-completed study of biodiesel as an alternative fuel source on selected Ontario farms. This province-wide initiative is the only one of its kind in Canada. It involved six farms to evaluate the effectiveness of using biodiesel in agriculture. "This project was designed to accelerate the adoption o...

Antioxidants in the body protects the airways from diesel exhaust effect

Professor Thomas Sandstrom, Respiratory Medicine and Allergy, University Hospital, Sweden and his collaborators from Europe has found that Exposure// to diesel exhaust increased inflammation response in the lungs of the exposed persons and inflammatory cells were increased in the airway pathways and openings and when they analyzed the inflammatory cells in the distal part of the airway they found...

Fuel demand to be met by Bio-diesel

The Delhi College of Engineering plans to unveil a reactor with a capacity to produce over 600 litres of bio-diesel daily that would help// to meet India’s growing demand for fuel. According to Naveen Kumar, chief of the bio-diesel research department in the college the reactor would be the first of its kind in India and capable of producing 600 litres of bio-diesel every day. <br...

Asthma Symptoms Linked to Soot from Diesel Trucks in So. Bronx

Soot particles spewing from the exhaust of diesel trucks constitute a major contributor to the alarmingly high rates of asthma symptoms among school-aged children// in the South Bronx, according to the results of a five-year study by researchers at New York University’s School of Medicine and Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Over the course of the study, asthma sympt...

Diesel Exposure Model Reduces Allergy Risk Assessment Errors

University of Cincinnati (UC) environmental health experts say their research improves prior methods of classifying exposure to diesel exhaust particulates// that help minimize inaccuracies and better predict a child’s risk for wheezing. Many prior air pollution studies rely heavily on what are known as proximity (distance) exposure models, which assume all subjects in a given distan...

Giant Microwave That Recycles Plastic Back into Diesel, Gas

A US company is taking recycling to another level turning back plastics into the oil they were made from, and gas. Global Resource Corporation (GRC) claims the process requires only a finely tuned microwave that uses 1200 different frequencies within the microwave range, which act on specific hydrocarbon materials, and a mix of materials made from oil to reduce the product back to...
