NREL Finds a New Cellulose Digestion Mechanism by a Fast-Eating Enzyme

2014-01-02 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

NREL researchers discovered enzyme from microorganism can digest cellulose at almost twice rate of currently available component cellulase enzyme. Paper reporting this finding, "Revealing Nature's Cellulase Diversity: The Digestion Mechanism of Caldicellulosiruptor bescii CelA," appears in Science. Enzyme could help drive down price of making lignocellulosic fuels, from ethanol to other biofuels, that can be dropped into existing infrastructure.

NREL Test Helps Make Moisture Barriers Better

2013-11-25 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

Developed by Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, NREL Electric Calcium Test (e-Ca) uses unique design elements to measure corrosion from water. Resulting ability to detect infinitesimally small amounts of moisture promotes assurance that barrier films will last. Optimized for sensitivity, e-Ca method specifically uses test cards with calcium metal traces for detection of down to 10<sup>-7</sup> g of water per square meter per day.
