Eco Factor: Low-cost way to convert sugarcane juice into useful fuel. Colorado-based Amyris Biotechnologies opened up a demonstration plant with a capacity of more than 10,000 gallons a year in Campinas, Brazil, to demonstrate large-scale...

Eco Factor: Bacteria can produce biofuel from non-food biomass. New research could lead to the end of the fuel versus food controversy regarding biofuels. Scientists are presently experimenting with bacteria called “Anaerocellum” that is said..

EcoFactor: Alternative energy obtained from landfills. Anybody with the slightest amount of common sense would know that landfills aren’t entirely bad as people consider them to be. They mostly are grounds with a high potential for useful...

In a scientific milieu as ours, nothing can be taken for granted. If the reports in a major technology journal, Science, are to be believed, biofuels are doing more harm than good to the environment due to higher emission of greenhouse gases than...

Certainly, biodiesel is a great eco-friendly alternative to diesel. However, the hybrid electrically run vehicles take an edge over the bio-diesel run vehicles in that they don’t have to face societal anxieties such as would it require tropical.

Biofuel or Agrofuel can be termed as solid, liquid, or gas fuel consisting of, or derived from biomass. We have all been living in this belief that fuel produced from plants is beneficial, keeping in mind that plants help reduce carbon dioxide...

Understanding the dire need of feedstock oils that are low priced and readily available, two Arizona alternative energy outfits are joining forces to commercialize a patented technology to produce biofuel from algae. Diversified Energy...

What I construed, when I heard Dr. Arjun Makhijani, President of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, talking about the possibility of zero-carbon emission in the coming future, is that he might be suggesting replacing fossil fuels...

Skyrocketing oil prices and concerns about security of supply are encouraging many researchers to consider the potential advantage of plant-derived biofuels. Moving from fossil fuels to biofuels is still facing questions about its practicality....

The world is going crazy for Biofuel considering its eco-friendliness and the money that is at stake. We all know that the world of tomorrow will require organic fuels and biofuel is the only product that can be mass produced at a low cost....
