Avoiding virus dangers in 'domesticating' wild plants for biofuel use
2013-02-15 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: In our ongoing quest for alternative energy sources, researchers are looking more to plants that grow in the wild for use in biofuels, plants such as switchgrass. However, attempts to "domesticate" wild-growing plants have a downside, as it could make the plants more susceptible to any number of plant viruses. In a presentation at this year's meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Michigan State University plant biologist Carolyn Malmstrom said that when we start...
Joint Statement: Advanced Biofuel Organizations Set the Record Straight on API's Latest RFS ...
2013-02-15 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
In January 2012 ruling, U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. Circuit ordered EPA to reconsider 2012 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) obligation for cellulosic biofuels but rejected all other complaints brought by American Petroleum Institute (API). Regarding letter sent by API to EPA that claims "zeroing out the 2012 obligation is the only proper implementation of the Court’s ruling," BIO's Brent Erickson said API should yield to EPA's recognized authority and EPA should reject API's spin ...This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:

Scientists turn toxic by-product into biofuel booster
2013-02-04 23:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Scientists studying an enzyme that naturally produces alkanes -- long carbon-chain molecules that could be a direct replacement for the hydrocarbons in gasoline -- have figured out why the natural reaction typically stops after three to five cycles. Armed with that knowledge, they've devised a strategy to keep the reaction going. The biochemical details -- worked out at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences...
