Beautifully designed, energy-generating bio-panels that suck up carbon dioxide and pump out biomass for use as fuel or fertilizer – that's the idea behind Mexican startup Greenfluidics and its nanotech-enhanced microalgae bioreactor building panels
(Natural News) Researchers made a makeshift "elevator" in the ocean to grow giant kelp, the world's biggest species of marine algae and a promising source of biofuel. The researchers explained that giant kelp needs to be moved up and down the o
Scientists have been studying algae for their potential as a source of fuel, but many others are also starting to explore algae's immense potential in biotechnology.
There is a breakthrough for a powerful, low-cost method for recycling used cooking oil and agricultural waste into biodiesel, and turning food scraps and plastic rubbish into high-value products.
What will you do if there's no access to gasoline? For some, biogas may be a good alternative - and it can be made from things that normally go to waste.
HomeBioGas is a bacteria digester that transforms organic waste such as food scraps and manure into methane gas for cooking. It also produces liquid fertilizer as a byproduct. The device needs a warm climate for bacteria growth. -GEG
The problem is that there are difficulties that are present along the path to success of biofuels. Case in point: New research has shown that harmful microorganisms seem to thrive on biofuels, particularly on their fatty acids, and after a while they
Just weeks after producing its first batch of synthetic diesel fuel made from carbon dioxide and water, Audi has laid claim to another synthetic, clean-burning and petroleum-free fuel called "e-benzin." The fuel was created by Audi's project partner
Zymomonas mobilis bacterium might be tricky to say, but this bioethanol-producing microbe could become a household name if Indiana University (IU) biologists have their way.
Biofuels may indeed offer a greener alternative to fossil fuels, but they do raise at least one concern – crops grown as biofuel feedstock could take up farmland and use water that would otherwise be used to grow crops for much-needed food.
