• Commercial Production of Cellulosic Biofuel on Fast Track in China

  Novozymes, COFCO and Sinopec signed a Memorandum of Understanding covering the next steps towards commercialization of cellulosic biofuel in China. As part of the agreement, COFCO and Sinopec will build a cellulosic ethanol demonstration plant which Novozymes will supply with enzymes. The new plant more

• Biofuel chemistry more complex than petroleum, say Sandia and Lawrence Livermore researchers

  Understanding the key elements of biofuel combustion is an important step toward insightful selection of next-generation alternative fuels. And that's exactly what researchers at Sandia and Lawrence Livermore national laboratories are doing. The journal Angewandte Chemie devotes its May 10 cover t more

• Beyond the corn field: Balancing fuel, food and biodiversity

  The development of alternative fuel will greatly benefit the U.S., say scientists in an Energy Foundation-funded report published by the Ecological Society of America (ESA), the nation's largest organization of ecological scientists. However, in order to effectively reap the social and economic bene more

• New Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-Based Derivation for Quantification of Alkyl Esters Generated Using Biocatalysis

  Monoalkyl esters of fatty acids commonly known as biodiesel are synthesized from triglycerides by the transesterification reaction with monohydric alcohol, usually methanol or ethanol. Biodiesel is an attractive alternative fuel for diesel engines because of its renewability, biodegradability, and n more

• Characterization of Gaseous and Particulate Emissions From a Turboshaft Engine Burning Conventional, Alternative, and Surrogate Fuels

  The effect of fuel composition on the operability and gaseous and particulate matter (PM) emissions of an Allison T63-A-700 turboshaft engine operated at four power settings was investigated in this effort. Testing was performed with a specification JP-8, a synthetic paraffinic kerosene, and four tw more

• Engineering Interface and Surface of Noble Metal Nanoparticle Nanotubes toward Enhanced Catalytic Activity for Fuel Cell Applications

  In order for fuel cells to have commercial viability as alternative fuel sources, researchers need to develop highly active and robust fuel cell electrocatalysts. In recent years, the focus has been on the design and synthesis of novel catalytic materials with controlled interface and surface struct more
