A new report highlights that European renewable ethanol is the most cost-effective way to decarbonize the EU transport sector. It found that the CO2 abatement cost of ethanol is negative when the energy efficiency gains of E10 are accounted for.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held earlier this week at the Crapo Hill Landfill site in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, for the startup of CommonWealth Resource Management Corporation's pilot-scale anaerobic digestion (AD) project.
New research by scientists at the University of Bristol has challenged one of the key axioms in biology, that enzymes need water to function.
Researchers have identified a new way to boost yeast tolerance to ethanol by simply altering the composition of the medium in which the yeast are grown. The findings could have a significant impact on industrial biofuel production.
Yeast are commonly used to transform corn and other plant materials into biofuels such as ethanol. However, large concentrations of ethanol can be toxic to yeast, which has limited the production capacity of many yeast strains used in industry.
Argonne National Laboratory modeling lowers land use change GHG emissions to 7.6 7.6 gCO2e/MJ, down from 9.0 in last year's modeling and four-times lower than the 28 gCO2e/MJ value used by the U.S. EPA.
