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
The way to be self-reliance on energy.
(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.
Biogas is reasonably easy to produce, environmentally safe, and is made from readily available resources, making it an excellent choice for preppers.
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
A newly installed "state-of-the-art" production line has begun knocking out 350,000 of the new EcoBlue diesel engines per year
Sea-based wind farms are becoming a common sight in many parts of the world, but why not floating solar power stations?
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.

Remember kids, when trying to detonate the methane in the sewer for fun,...use a loooooooong fuze.
Read how the US$17 million, 3.2Mw Blue Mountain biogas power generation plant in Beaver County, Utah, began generating electricity from methane gas via the anaerobic digestion of swine manure.
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the US Department of Energy’s Joint BioEnergy Institute have engineered a bacterium that could yield a new source of high-energy hydrocarbon fuel for rocketry and other aerospace uses.
A new scientific discovery that takes algae and turns it into crude oil in minutes rather than millions of years could be the end of constant worries over "peak oil."
Congressional hearings [last] week focusing on the EPA Renewable Fuel Standard [brought] together impassioned speakers representing the US biofuel constituency, traditional fossil fuel interests, major food companies and other stakeholders.

Algae for biofuel - Algae Photobioreactor
Selling EVERYTHING you need to make biodiesel minus the veggie oil you will need to find from restaurants...
A new enzyme — capable of aiding in the cost-effective conversion of woody-waste into liquid fuel — was recently discovered during research on the tiny marine wood-borers known as ‘gribble’.
Great ideas abound for new feedstocks, and novel infrastructure. We admire so many of them. Jatropha, carinata, switchgrass, sweet sorghum, blender pumps, systems-at-sea. And so much more.

The energy balances show that 0.78 million Btu (MBtu) and 1.13 MBtu of fossil fuels are consumed in the overall WTW lifecycles of corn ethanol and petroleum gasoline respectively (for every 1.0 MBtu of finished motor fuel produced-delivered).
uh... yes. that's correct. It is a generator that breaks down the urea, yeilding hydrogen which is then purified and burned.
A Kior plant in Mississippi will start shipping fuel made from wood chips as planned as it chases large-scale production.
