ASTM International has set a limit of 0.02% glycerol in biofuels (ASTM Standard D6751). ASTM's standard analytical chemistry method for glycerol detection in biodiesel is based on gas chromatography (GC). ...
Diane Kim, associate director for special projects at the institute, is part of the team heading up the biofuel research. ...
On July 11, 2017, DOE announced the selection of three projects focused on reducing the costs of producing algal biofuels and bioproducts that will receive up to $8 million in funding. The projects aim to generate high-impact tools and techniques for increasing the productivity of algae organisms and cultures and biology-focused breakthroughs. ...
The conference in Stockholm (June 12th to 15th 2017) will kick off with examples of industry scale implementation of bioenergy and biofuels projects and an expert panel will discuss the roles for biomass that make it indispensible for the replacement of fossil fuels. ...
The City of Napa and Napa Recycling and Waste Services, LLC are working with Zero Waste Energy (ZWE) to develop an anaerobic digestion (AD) to biofuel project that will help the city of Napa achieve AB32, AB340 and AB1826 goals as well as city goals, seeking to reach 75% total landfill diversion and increase organic waste recovery from food services businesses by ...
Department of Energy (DOE), announced $15 million in funding for three projects that will work to improve algal biomass yields to reduce production costs of algae-based biofuels and bioproducts. The projects include Global Algae Innovations (San Diego, California), Algenol Biotech LLC (Ft. ...
On August 27, 2015, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced funding for two projects focused on the development of next-generation biofuels. Texas A&M University will receive up to $2.5 million to support its efforts in developing a single-unit process to convert lignin in the production of bioplastics, and Ohio University will receive up to $1.5 million for ...
In this article we will describe a successful, real-life experience in Poland, specifically in the Poznań sewage treatment plant, where BIOCONSERVACION installed air filtration systems. Project context At the end of 2014, the Poznan waste water treatment plant in Poland completed a modernisation project designed to renovate and expand the existing plant to ...
Department of Energy (DOE) announced $18 million in funding for six projects to develop bioproducts and biofuels from algae. The funding is intended to reduce the cost of algae-based biofuels to less than $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019 to help reach DOE's target of $3 per gge for advanced algal biofuels by 2030. ...
EPA is accepting public comments through May 26, 2015, on two proposed information collection requests (ICR) published in theFederal Register on Tuesday, March 24, 2015. The proposed ICRs concern projected cellulosic biofuels volumes and gasoline containing greater than 10 volume percent ethanol up to 15 volume percent ethanol (E15). ...
The bills, HF 536 and SF 517, would benefit companies that develop biochemicals, advanced biofuels, and anaerobic digestion projects. There is concern, however, that the legislation would increase the production of corn rather than encourage the production of crops that do not require the same heavy use of fertilizer as corn. Citing concerns about fertilizer ...
Department of Energy (DOE) announced the third round of Strategic Technical Assistance Response Team (START) Renewable Energy Project Development Assistance that provides tribal governments and entities with support to produce clean and renewable energy. The START program was launched in December 2011 and has helped 21 tribal communities advance solar, wind, ...
Background The research formed part of a major initiative to identify suitable crops for biofuel production; particularly cellulosic crops which produce large yields and can be harvested and converted into advanced biofuels, such as cellulosic biofuel. ...

Considerable effort has been put into developing sustainability assessment frameworks for biofuel production in developing countries. Nevertheless, their successful implementation remains problematic in sub–Saharan Africa. To address this challenge in this paper, through a thorough examination of academic and grey literature, repeatedly occurring sustainability ...
Following its visit to the trade fair and after consulting a number of sources, Quimys’ Oil got down to work on a project for the production of solid biofuels, biogas and biofuels for transport in Honduras. ...
The RED target, for 10% of transport fuel to be from renewable sources by 2020, is anticipated to stimulate a major increase in the use of conventional biofuels up to 2020, contributing up to 92% of total predicted biofuel use or 24.3 Mtoe in 2020. ...
A new study analyses the likely impacts on land use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of biofuel use by 2020, as projected in recently published National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) in 23 EU member states. ...
The renewable energy investment programme will provide €450m in subsidies and a further €900m in low-interest loans to cutting-edge technology projects. About €190m will be invested before the end of the year 2010, with €290m set aside over the next 4 years up to 2014. The target of the renewable energy investment programme are emerging clean technologies that ...
