Biofuels are gaining increasing attention as a sustainable and renewable alternative to traditional fossil fuels, especially in cases where predicted shortages of fossil fuels are reported. As an expert in the alternative energy field, Alfa Chemistry has long been committed to exploring solutions to alternative energy issues and recently announced a comprehensive range of ...
Preem will use the oil as a raw material for production tests and the order value is estimated at approximately MSEK 2.Through production testing, Preem will determine how suitable the oil is for the production of different biofuels. These tests will take place at Preem’s refinery in Lysekil, which has already been granted ...
Scandinavian Enviro Systems received in February 2022 an order for pyrolysis oil from the subsidiary of a leading US oil company for production tests.After extensive tests, the oil company has advised that the tests gave a favourable outcome. ...
Researchers from the university of Colorado, US, measured emissions of 1-1000 nm particles during a water boiling test on five different biofuel and fossil fuel cookstoves: three-stone fire, rocket elbow, gasifier, charcoal, and liquified petroleum gas (LPG). ...

Research has shown that both cover crops and perennial biofuel crops can relieve soil compaction. Cover crops are generally planted between cash crops such as corn and soybeans to protect the bare soil. ...
U.S. exports of crude oil, petroleum products, and biofuels, which increased from 1 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2004 to nearly 5 million b/d in 2015, have become a more critical component for market assessment and calculation of U.S. consumption of key petroleum products such as gasoline and distillate (Figure 1). ...
Alexander Zschocke, Lufthansa, will give a presentation on “Progress and hurdles of getting biofuels in the air”. Lufthansa is a leader in the marketplace for alternative fuels in using biofuels in regular flights. ...
United Airlines says it is investing $30 million in a biofuels company to reduce its vulnerability to oil-price shocks and limits on carbon emissions from planes. ...
Researchers at MIT now have some answers to that question, using biofuels as a test case. Their study, recently released in Geophysical Research Letters, found that land-use changes caused by a major ramp-up in biofuel crops — enough to meet about 10 percent of the world’s energy needs — could make some regions even warmer. ...
Naval Carrier Strike Force fueled by advanced biofuel is undergoing its first operational test today in the waters of the central Pacific. Calling it a "significant achievement for America's domestic biofuels industry" Advanced Biofuels Association President Michael McAdams is aboard the USS Nimitz for today's naval exercise for ...
Today Mary Rosenthal, executive director of the Algal Biomass Organization (ABO), the trade association for the U.S. algae industry, released the following statement in support of the Navy's Great Green Fleet demonstration and the biofuels derived from algae that are being tested in U.S. ships and aircraft. ...
Meanwhile, U.S. advanced biofuel producers have made rapid progress toward cost-competitiveness. Per gallon cost of test quantities of advanced biofuels under Navy contracts has declined more than 90 percent over the past two years and will continue to decline as these technologies scale to commercial ...
House Small Business Committee's Subcommittee on Agriculture, Energy and Trade, Michael McAdams, president, Advanced Biofuels Association – ABFA, said he is, "proud to report to this Committee and to this Congress that America's domestic advanced biofuels industry has moved from the beaker to the barrel, all in record time. ...
Funding for the biofuel test program was provided by the key partners, as well as by Business-Led Networks of Centres of Excellence (BL-NCE) through the Green Aviation Research & Development Network (GARDN). ...
Algae-based biofuels such as biodiesel or bioethanol, have significant advantages over crop-based biofuels. ...
The crude Jatropha oil produced will be converted into biokerosene to supply customer airlines. "The addition of SG Biofuels is a critical piece of the value chain, as their ability to develop high performing Jatropha plants will enable the production of large volumes of cost-effective feedstock for biofuels in Brazil," said Rafael Davidsohn Abud, managing ...
On July 28 DSM completed the acquisition of C5 Yeast Company B.V. from Royal Cosun, through which it will further increase its leadership position in the field of second generation biofuels. Recent tests have shown that the yield of DSM's advanced yeast technology for second generation biofuels on cellulose derived C5/C6 sugars to ethanol meets ...
