ArborGen recently celebrated the planting of its 10 billionth tree seedling.This is further proof that the use of woody biomass resources to produce energy isn't about clear-cutting forests.
Commercial production of advanced biofuels is one focus within the biorefining industry, but high conversion rates required with high toxin levels cells are exposed to can affect the operation's economic return. Toxin-resistant organisms may help.
Regular columnist Michael McAdams writes his column this month from high in the sky as he travels from Seattle to D.C. on a cross-country commercial biojet flight.
The U.S. DOE's Energy Information Administration predicts that only six cellulosic biofuel producers will make fuel available for sale in 2012, producing a total of just 6.9 million gallons of fuel over the course of the coming year.
Researchers at the University of Illinois are making progress in the continual effort to develop sustainable and cost-effective processes for harvesting and collecting biomass feedstock.
Connecticut-based Green Waste Energy Inc. was the only developer to submit a project proposal to the Albany, N.Y., Port District Commission by the Oct. 31 deadline, so its $60 million waste-to-energy proposal is a distinct possibility for the city.
The Chrin Brothers Inc. is looking for four new tenants to occupy a 23-acre site and use heat produced at the company's existing 3.2-megawatt landfill-gas-to-power plant.
The use of biojet is increasing as air carrier Aeromexico has begun to use the fuel, produced by Honeywell's UOP trademarked Green Jet Fuel, on its regular Mexico City to Costa Rica route as part of its "Green Flights" project to reduce GHGs.
