Ethanol Giant Poet Says It Has Slashed Cellulosic Ethanol Costs by More Than 50%

There may be hope: Poet LLC , the world's largest producer of corn-based ethanol, says it has reduced the cost of making ethanol from corncobs instead of from the edible kernels to $2.35 a gallon and expects to get it to $2 by the time it opens a commercial plant in 2012. The cost-cutting for cellulosic ethanol made from non-food waste material is critical in getting the stuff to market, and getting...

Delft Breakthrough In Bioethanol Production From Agricultural Waste

Car fuelBioethanol is made by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae from sugars obtained from plant biomass. This microorganism also converts such sugars into ethanol (alcohol) in beer and wine. The production of bioethanol is rapidly increasing due to the growing use of bioethanol as a car fuel. With an annual world production of 65 billion liters, bioethanol is aready the largest product of the fermentation...

Solar, Wind Latest Additions to Green Education

There’s an old saying that goes, “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” While it might be true that college does cost, there are some cheaper options out there. And more of those options are including solar and wind degrees from the less expensive community college route. This article from CNN Money says [...]

Novel connector uses magnets for leak-free microfluidic devices

Researchers have developed a new, inexpensive, reusable and highly efficient microfluidic connector. The connector employs a ring magnet with a O-ring gasket on its bottom and a tube in its center set directly atop the inlet or outlet port of a microfluidic channel embedded in a glass chip. A disc magnet on the underside of the chip holds the first magnet -- and its tubing -- securely in place.

Engineering functional structures with single atoms and molecules

The performance of modern electronics increases steadily on a fast pace thanks to the ongoing miniaturization of the utilized components. However, severe problems arise due to quantum-mechanical phenomena when conventional structures are simply made smaller and reach the nanometer scale. Therefore current research focuses on the so-called bottom-up approach: the engineering of functional structures...

Wind, Water And Sun Beat Biofuels, Nuclear And Coal For Clean Energy

Wind, Water And Sun Beat Biofuels, Nuclear And Coal For Clean Energy - www.carbonfreeenergy

The best ways to improve energy security, mitigate global warming and reduce the number of deaths caused by air pollution are blowing in the wind and rippling in the water, not growing on prairies or glowing inside nuclear power plants, says Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford. And "clean coal," which involves capturing carbon emissions and sequestering...
