Scientific issues associated with carbon-neutral energy sources such as cellulosic ethanol
Professor Chris Somerville of the Carnegie Institution and Stanford University, explained advances in plant science research that are both needed and achievable to reduce costs and multiply current levels of production of biofuels from plant cellulose (biomass). Somerville presented his talk, "Bioenergy: The 21st Century Challenge to Plant Biologists" at the Annual Meeting of the American...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...Corn waste potentially more than ethanol
After the corn harvest, whether for cattle feed or corn on the cob, farmers usually leave the stalks and stems in the field, but now, a team of Penn State researchers think corn stover can be used not only to manufacture ethanol, but to generate electricity directly. "People are looking at using cellulose to make ethanol," says Dr. Bruce E. Logan, the Kappe Professor of Environmental Engin...Producing bio-ethanol from agricultural waste a step closer
Research conducted by Delft University of Technology has brought the efficient production of the environmentally-friendly fuel bio-ethanol a great deal closer to fruition. The work of Delft researcher Marko Kuyper was an important factor in this. His research in recent years has greatly improved the conversion of certain sugars from agricultural waste to ethanol. On Tuesday 6 June, Kuyper receive...Engineered yeast speeds ethanol production
Scientists from Whitehead Institute and MIT have engineered yeast that can improve the speed and efficiency of ethanol production, a key component to making biofuels a significant part of the U.S. energy supply. Currently used as a fuel additive to improve gasoline combustibility, ethanol is often touted as a potential solution to the growing oil-driven energy crisis. But there are signifi...Ethanol Colorimetric Assay Kit, QuantiChrom from BioAssay Systems

- About eight percent of the weight of a box of corn flakes is corn. Less than five percent of the price of a box of corn flakes represents the cost of the corn - the rest is transportation, packaging, Super Bowl commercials, little plastic-wrapped toys for your kids, and more. Heck, the price of the box alone probably exceeds the cost of the co...Sharon Ethanol appoints operations director

Ethanol, obtained from vegetable sources, is touted as a more eco-friendly fuel, than petroleum products. But a new study says that widespread// use of ethanol could actually pose a threat to human health. Ethanol, the wonder fuel, may not be that eco-friendly after all. The journey for ever is hitting some bumps.For a new study at the Stanford University in the US shows that it cou...Europe Mulls Turning Its Excess Wine into Bioethanol
Europe is contemplating turning its excess wine produce into bioethanol. The European Commission is putting final touches to the plan. Commission officials have, however, made it clear that this will be the last time the EU will subsidize such a move. Michael Mann, commission spokesman for agriculture and rural development, has said the best thing to do...ImmuGlo COMVI-ANCA (ethanol+formalin fixed)
