Scientists have shown that adding carbon dioxide gas during the deconstruction phase of biofuel production successfully neutralized the toxicity of ionic liquids. The technique, which is reversible, ...

Scientists are developing a process that cleans up and improves the dry-grind ethanol production process. The process uses fungus to reduce energy costs, allow more water recycling and improve a ...

However, biofuel production remains complex and costly, with efficiency challenges that limit its widespread adoption. To address these issues, experts are turning to nanotechnology to improve ...

EAST LANSING, Mich. — A new biofuel production process created by Michigan State University researchers produces energy more than 20 times higher than existing methods. The results, published in the ...

There are lots of creative ways to produce biofuel from algae, but NASA’s takes the cake. The space agency is growing biofuel in plastic bags of sewage floating in the sea. The Offshore Membrane ...

Biofuel is often touted as a clean fuel, but the fact that it is made using food sources is a major drawback. To address this issue, there has been continuous research on the development of ...
