Extracting oil from algae will be the most common method for obtaining fuel for our vehicles. Learn more about algae oil at Algae Oil Fuel. written by -- -- Researchers have found a biofriendly way to produce ethanol more efficient written by Pamela Ravenwood You have heard the term biofuel but aren’t sure what it means. Biofuel is any fuel that is derived from biomass-recently living organisms or their metabolic by-products, such as manure from cows. written by -- -- This article presents some ways in which rising prices and dwindling supplies of fossil fuels can be alleviated. written by sandra case This article explains how the commodity Corn is turned into Ethanol. The article details the two methods that are used to process the Corn into Ethanol, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each process. Finally, and most enlightening from a commodity trading standpoint, the article displays a list of co-products derived from each process.
written by Mohan Potukuchi Ethanol (commonly alled "Alcohol") has assumed a very important
place in the world’s economy. It is a vital raw material for a
number of chemicals. It has been a major source of revenue by way
of excise duty for the Governments.
written by James Marriot In New York prices of crude oil are expected to slide to US$ 40 per barrel, with rising supplies of biofuel shaving demand growth of traditional auto fuel, as per Tetsu Emori - chief commodities strategist with Mitsui Bussan Futures of Japan. written by James Marriot According to a recent statement from Vilas Muttemwar, Indian minister for non-conventional energy sources, German and US companies are keen to invest a sum of INR 100 Billion (US$ 2.1 Billion) in manufacturing systems and devices for renewable energy in SEZ (special economic zone). written by James Marriot Production of biofuels in U.S. will exceed 16 Billion Gallons by the year 2015, as per the industry experts. written by James Marriot The energy market has been pretty volatile with escalating oil prices and sinking gas prices. written by James Marriot The EPA has devised a standard program RFS (Renewable Fuels Standard) that's aimed to double the use of renewable fuels like biodiesel and ethanol. written by James Marriot Several developments in France have made it clear that the French government is stressing hard on biofuels, so that the country can attain its goal of energy independence in near future. written by Ezra Bar Bio-fuels are non-fossil fuels, produced from agriculture sources, residues, and waste. Bio-ethanol refers to ethanol produced from crops (e.g., corn-ethanol and sugar-ethanol) and from waste (i.e., biomass-ethanol). “The motivation for developing bio-ethanol as a transportation fuel is based on concerns about energy security, environmental quality, economic competitiveness, and stabilization of the agricultural sector.” (National Research Council [NRC], 1999, p. 6) Brazil’s three-decade experience in sugarcane-ethanol is considered a success by its government, although criticized by some researchers (Pimentel, 2001; Pimentel et al., 2002). Corn-ethanol production in North America is highly controversial; its cost, its energy balance, and its socio-economical effects are strongly debated between researchers. Biomass-ethanol, produced from farm and municipality waste is still in its early technological and industrial development. This quantitative research presents and analyzes the arguments, and concludes with recommendations for the short- and the long-term; recommendations that are best suited? for North America and that take into account all the aspects presented in this research paper. << previous page 1 next page>> |
