Eco Factor: Algae to be used for cheap ethanol production. In an effort to fuel the world with clean and cheap energy, Dow Chemical and Algenol Biofuels have partnered to build algae farms that can convert carbon dioxide into ethanol, which can...

Eco Factor: The energy kit uses ethanol to produce electricity. Fuel cell technology is viewed as one of the most remarkable sources of energy in the coming future. Researchers are trying their best to develop ways to achieve the maximum of this..

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..

Eco Factor: Ethanol-fueled fireplace. Germany-based Blomus has launched a new fireplace they call the Vidro. Just like most of the fireplaces available on the eco-shelves today, this one too is fueled by clean and smokeless ethanol. Suitable for...

Eco Factor: Scientists discover new catalyst that can enhance ethanol’s oxidation. Hydrogen fuel cells are taken as the most feasible fuel cells that can fuel the world long after fossil fuels are no longer to be seen. However, the production...

Eco Factor: Fireplaces fueled by ethanol. Sydney-based Design & Architects Firm, GeoForm, has come up with a stylish and green way to keep your homes warm during winter. Dubbed the EcoSmart Zeta fireplaces, they come with a stainless steel swivel..

EcoFactor: Supercar powered by bio-ethanol. We all love supercars and we love them more when they take the greener route. Inspired by the iconic Cooper Climax F1, this green baby won’t let you down in any race, be it on a track or on a green...

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...

Eco factor: Enables us to produce biofuel that is both cheap and does not rely on food crops. Producing biofuel from food crops has given way to a major argument about how wise it is to try and produce fuel from food crops when we are struggling.

Ethanol could be the fuel of the future thanks to studies done by researchers at Washington University. They have discovered a process by which fermenting bacteria are guided into breaking down the waste products during the process into methane,...
