Metabolic pathway in cyanobacteria could yield better biofuels from photosynthesis
2015-12-23 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Scientists from the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have discovered that a metabolic pathway previously only suggested to be functional in photosynthetic organisms is actually a major pathway and can enable efficient conversion of carbon dioxide to organic compounds. The discovery shines new light on the complex metabolic network for carbon utilization in cyanobacteria, while opening the door to better ways of producing chemicals from carbon dioxide or plant biomass,...

US oil groups face rising biofuels costs, see higher pump prices
2015-12-04 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: U.S. oil companies will likely pay close to $1 billion this year to put more ethanol and renewables in gasoline and diesel and face even higher compliance costs in 2016 after the U.S. government set targets for alternative fuel use above industry expectations. Higher costs could be passed on to consumers, pushing fuel prices higher and prompting further calls from the oil industry for reductions in the quotas. Companies such as Marathon Petroleum Co and Valero Energy Corp are scrambling to...
