Read moreBioethanol's impact on water supply 3 times higher than once thought
Sangwon Suh and colleagues point out in the study that annual bioethanol production in the U.S. is currently about 9 billion gallons and note that experts expect it to increase in the near future....
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreTiny Super-Plant Can Clean Up Hog Farms and Be Used For Ethanol Production
Their research shows that growing duckweed on hog wastewater can produce five to six times more starch per acre than corn, according to researcher Dr. Jay Cheng. This means that ethanol production usi...
Life Sciences | Read moreStudy critiques corn-for-ethanol's carbon footprint
"Converting set-asides to corn-ethanol production is an inefficient and expensive greenhouse gas mitigation policy that should not be encouraged until ethanol-production technologies improve,&quo...
Studies and Analyses | Read moreEthanol plants no panacea for local economies
But the boom has since stalled amid a deep economic downturn that has stifled demand, one of many threats to the fledgling industry that were forecast in a 2007 study by two University of Illinois res...
Studies and Analyses | Read moreBiofuels Can Provide Viable, Sustainable Solution to Reducing Petroleum Dependence
The goal of the "90-Billion Gallon Biofuel Deployment Study" was to assess whether and how a large volume of cellulosic biofuel could be sustainably produced, assuming technical and scientif...
Power and Electrical Engineering | Read moreCellulosic ethanol may benefit human health and help slow climate change
The study finds that cellulosic ethanol has fewer negative effects on human health because it emits smaller amounts of fine particulate matter, an especially harmful component of air pollution. Earlie...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreEthanol will curb farm income until economy rebounds
Scott Irwin says agriculture’s fortunes are now tethered more to ethanol than food, making crop growers vulnerable to sharp price swings at filling stations rather than the typically slower cost shift...
Agricultural and Forestry Science | Read moreFuels of the future may come from 'ice that burns,' water and sunshine
Those fuels include "green gasoline," "designer hydrocarbons," "the ice that burns," and other sources that can help power an energy-hungry world into the future. ...
Life Sciences | Read moreCattle fed distiller's grains maintain flavor and tenderness of beef
While much of the research focus has been on the energy value of the distiller's grains relative to the corn it replaces, recent questions have been posed on how they may affect beef quality, sai...
Agricultural and Forestry Science | Read moreResearcher Closes in On Ethanol Breakthrough that Reduces Need to Use Corn to Make Ethanol
The production of biofuels from basic plant material, rather than corn and other crops, would address concerns that making corn-based ethanol is pushing up food costs, said Mark Goebl, a professor of ...
Power and Electrical Engineering | Read moreUS Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute announces new genome sequencing projects
In the continuing effort to tap the vast, unexplored reaches of the earth's microbial and plant domains for bioenergy and environmental applications, the DOE Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) has ...
Life Sciences | Read moreSome Biofuels Might Do More Harm than Good to the Environment
But new research led by a biologist at the University of Washington, Bothell, shows that some of the most popular current biofuel stocks might have exactly the opposite impacts than intended. The auth...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreUS rush to produce corn-based ethanol will worsen 'dead zone' in Gulf of Mexico
In the first study of its kind, Donner and Chris Kucharik of the University of Wisconsin quantify the effect of biofuel production on the problem of nutrient pollution in a waterway. Their findings wi...
Studies and Analyses | Read moreThe future of biofuels is not in corn
"Rural communities won't benefit from the Farm Bill becoming a fuel bill. In the long run, family farmers and the environment will be losers, while agribusiness, whose political contribution...
