Field Day Explores Energy Crop Production
By Cheree Franco
February 22, 2011
Miscanthus field day attendees learn how to plant, grow and harvest the perennial grass, a popular source of energy in Europe that has great potential in the Southeast U.S.
Results were released today by Brookhaven National Laboratory and SG Biofuels on BNL's performance and emissions study of jatropha oil as a drop-in fuel in industrial furnaces used for heating and power generation.
California-based algae technology developer OriginOil Inc. has agreed to participate in a pilot-scale algae project funded by the Mexican government. The project goal is to demonstrate industrial algae production while encouraging Mexican investment.
Chevron Technology Ventures is exploring the use of crude jatropha oil (CJO) as feedstock for renewable diesel, and the energy giant will use CJO supplied by Mission NewEnergy Ltd. Chevron will initially use 3,000 gallons from the Australian company.
A team of researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York is using wastewater to cultivate algae. The goal: facilitate wastewater treatment while providing the economic development of biodiesel production.
