Policy and industry collaboration were two topics highlighted at the 2013 International Biomass Conference & Expo.
FutureMetrics recently prepared a working report for the Heating the Midwest with Renewable Biomass steering committee. The report outlines a vision to achieve 10 percent biomass-derived renewable thermal energy in the Midwest by 2025.
Brazilian ethanol imports in 2013 are larger than earlier forecast at 600 million gallons, compared to 400 million gallons, according to University of Illinois economists Scott Irwin and Darrel Good.
Eventemp Biomass has announced it will participate in a study funded by the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute to explore the benefits of using biomass-derived heat in Minnesota poultry barns.
Air Liquide has signed a partnership agreement with the CEA aiming to develop a second generation biofuel production pilot unit in France that will grind, pressurize, measure, and transport solid biomass, primarily wood, into a burner.
Valero Energy Corp. has released its financial results for the first quarter of 2013, reporting an operating income of $14 million for its ethanol segment, a $5 million increase over the $9 reported during the same period of 2012.
PPL Renewable Energy and the borough of Chambersburg has unveiled a new landfill 6.4 MW gas-to-energy facility at IESI Blue Ridge Landfill, a Progressive Waste Solutions company.
Enzymes could break down cell walls faster, leading to less expensive biofuels for transportation, if two enzyme systems are brought together in an industrial setting, new research by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory suggests.
Here is me stating the obvious: one thing that the U.S. cannot decide in regard to woody biomass-derived energy is whether or not it is carbon neutral.
Do you know someone that deserves recognition for the work they do in the ethanol industry? Tell us about it!
Finland-based forestry company UPM, the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, and the VV-Auto Group Inc. have announced a program to conduct fleet tests of Finland-produced renewable diesel. The testing will employ wood-based biofuel.
