A new study from researchers at the University of Western Australia and Universitas Brawijaya has found that adding biochar to advanced food waste recycling systems can significantly increase the clean energy yields of hydrogen and methane.
Researchers at the Idaho National Laboratory have developed computer models that apply to processing bioenergy crops using equipment traditionally used by the food, minerals and pharmaceuticals industries.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have discovered a novel way to convert food waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that meets industry standards without relying on fossil fuel blends.
New research has found cover crops that are viable in Washington’s normal “off season” don’t hurt the soil and can be sold as a biofuel source. The study evaluated four cover crops that were grown for multiple years.
Rolls-Royce is leading a new project to find smarter ways of using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to increase its effectiveness and role in reducing non-CO2 emissions, specifically those associated with contrail formation.
In a recent academic forum, Professor Yen Wah Tong from the National University of Singapore presented compelling findings on how biochar can significantly enhance the process of anaerobic digestion.
With support from Minnesota Corn, University of Minnesota Professor of Chemical Engineering Paul Dauenhauer is exploring the corn-to-methanol pathway for biofuels, which could be used to produce SAF.
Researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia are assessing the potential to convert 15 weed species found west of Brisbane into biomass pellets, which were used as a solid biomass fuel.
Iowa officials and lawmakers are calling on U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to relocate the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service projects to Ames, Iowa, as part of the agency’s ongoing reorganization plan.
Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis will be working to improve energy efficiency in production of dimethyl ether (DME) thanks to a $2.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
New research at Iowa State University shows that using advanced planting techniques can triple the amount of biomass produced by the perennial, bioenergy crop miscanthus in its establishment year.
Using technology developed by researchers working with ORNL’s Center for Bioenergy and Dartmouth College, Terragia Biofuel is targeting commercial biofuel production, including ethanol, from lignocellulose.
The Washington State Conservation Commission has awarded researchers from Washington State University Tri-Cities $200,000 to test a new process for managing manure that could significantly boost biogas production.
NREL researchers see a realistic path forward to the manufacture of bio-derivable wind blades that can be chemically recycled and the components reused, ending the practice of old blades winding up in landfills at the end of their useful life.
Getting into the (sea)weeds: Exploring algae storage for biofuel conversion
By Lynn Wendt, Laboratory Relationship Manager, Idaho National Laboratory

Idaho National Laboratory is exploring the potential of processing sargassum, a type of seeweed, for conversion to biofuel. The team is working with affected communities and starting with the question of how to store the stuff.
Results from the world's first in-flight study of the impact of using 100% SAF in both engines of a commercial aircraft show a reduction in soot particles and formation of contrail ice crystals compared to using conventional Jet A-1 fuel.
