Biofuels blend right in: Researchers show ionic liquids effective for pre-treating mixed blends of biofuel feedstocks Jan 30th 2013, 18:24 Blending different feedstocks and milling the mixture into flour or pellets has significant potential for helping to make biofuels a cost-competitive transportation fuel technology. Ecological engineering solves unsafe water problems in Bolivia Jan 30th 2013, 13:22 Surrounded by mining, the mountainous region of Potosi, Bolivia is plagued by extensive environmental contamination from past and current mining operations. Researchers have discovered a technique to remove pollutants from water that requires minimal labor costs and is powered by nature itself. Farms Not Fracking Jan 28th 2013, 01:35 Farms Not Fracking On January 27, protestors locked down to a giant paper mache pig at a natural gas site in Bessemer, PA. The fracking site sits 4000 feet from Henry Farm, which provides organic poultry and pork products to loyal customers in the region.

This fuel cell can continue to produce power for a short time after its fuel has run out. Bringing down the cost of microbial fuel cells Jun 23rd 2012, 13:44 A new catalyst material could dramatically reduce the cost of producing microbial fuel cells. Sorghum should be in the biofuel crop mix, experts say Jun 20th 2012, 14:09 Sweet and biomass sorghum would meet the need for next-generation biofuels to be environmentally sustainable, easily adopted by producers and take advantage of existing agricultural infrastructure. Toward a more economical process for making biodiesel fuel from algae Jun 20th 2012, 02:57 A new process to transform algae directly into biodiesel and other renewable fuels uses carbon dioxide in place of toxic solvents. New work on the new method could raise algae's profile as a source of green biofuels. Ionic liquid improves speed and efficiency of hydrogen-producing catalyst Jun 16th 2012, 18:55 The design of a nature-inspired material that can make energy-storing hydrogen gas has gone holistic. Usually, tweaking the design of this particular catalyst -- a work in progress for cheaper, better fuel cells -- results in either faster or more energy efficient production but not both. Now, researchers have found a condition that creates hydrogen faster without a loss in efficiency. New energy source for future medical implants: Sugar Jun 13th 2012, 17:31 An implantable fuel cell could power neural prosthetics that help patients regain control of limbs. Engineers have developed a fuel cell that runs on the same sugar that powers human cells: glucose. This glucose fuel cell could be used to drive highly efficient brain implants of the future, which could help paralyzed patients move their arms and legs again. Green fuel from carbon dioxide Jun 13th 2012, 17:29 Scientists agree that carbon dioxide has an effect on global warming as a greenhouse gas, but we still pump tons and tons of it into the atmosphere every day. Scientists have now developed a new system for producing methanol that uses CO2 and hydrogen. Methanol can, for example, be used as an environmentally friendly alternative for gasoline. The goal of the scientists is to harness the power of CO2 on a large scale and integrate it into the utilization cycle as a sustainable form of energy production. Environmental benefit of biofuels is overestimated, new study reveals Jun 8th 2012, 14:05 Two scientists are challenging the currently accepted norms of biofuel production. Calculations of greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions from bioenergy production are neglecting crucial information that has led to the overestimation of the benefits of biofuels compared to fossil fuels, a new analysis shows.
