Eco Factor: Research focuses on ways to produce biomass best suited for biofuel production. Researchers at Purdue University have identified and grouped the genes responsible for cell wall development in maize, which could further help discover...

Eco Factor: CO2-eating bacteria produce fuel. With fossil fuels depleting at a rate much more than predicted, researchers in different parts of the globe are working on means to generate alternative fuel from sources as small as bacteria. A team...

Eco Factor: Engineered photosynthetic process to produce fuel from CO2. Joule Technologies has announced a breakthrough in fuel generation from carbon dioxide present in the air. The technology is based on highly engineered photosynthetic microbes.

Eco Factor: Vertical farm uses algae to generate biofuel. The dependence on fossil fuels needs a break, so governments are shifting their focus on better sources to generate better fuels. Bio-fuel made from algae can be the answer only if there is.

Eco Factor: Nanotechnology to further improve the cellulosic ethanol process. Researchers at Louisiana Tech University are gearing up to further improve the cellulosic ethanol process by using nanotechnology. The researchers believe that the...

Eco Factor: Juice extracted from waste watermelons to be used in biofuel production. Producing biofuel from food crops has been regularly criticized as a waste of precious resources such as water. A new research says that other than growing food...

Eco Factor: Photobioreactor uses algae to generate fuel. We recently showcased Emergent Architecture’s Flower Street Bioreactor that was designed to be installed in Los Angeles. The architecture firm has designed an even better bioreactor system.

Eco Factor: Biofuel mixed with petro-fuel to be used to power F-18 Super Hornet. The US Navy has escalated its efforts to green its fighter jets, with a proposal for about 40,000 gallons of JP-5 aviation biofuel being issued. The fuel won’t be...

Eco Factor: Four-wheeled quad runs on bio-ethanol. If we talk about swine flu, then we think of precautions to be considered to avoid getting infected. However, we must pray that the green fever finds its way throughout the world in every field. ..

Eco Factor: Biofuel to be made from cattails. Cattails in beds of wastewater treatment facilities can be used to improve the quality of wastewater, produce abundant starches and according to a new research can be used to produce sustainable...
