Solar Thermal Power & Clean Energy TechnologyResearchers at the University of Missouri have identified the most effective ways for various Midwest states to partner and share resources in order to increase the amount of bioenergy they produce through burning woody biomass
Read MoreLignin is a bulky chain of molecules found in wood and is usually discarded during biofuel production.
Read MoreRather than burning it, which releases pollutants, they let fungi break it down to release heat.
Read MoreLignocellulosic biomass–plant matter such as cornstalks, straw, and woody plants–is a sustainable source for production of bio-based fuels and chemicals.
Read MoreThe world-famous microbe is highly adept at converting a plant’s glucose to biofuels but is otherwise a picky eater.
Read MoreGreenWood Resources has licensed an ORNL technology based on the discovery of a gene in poplar that makes it easier to convert poplar trees into biofuels.
Read MoreProducing high-value bioproducts alongside cost-competitive biofuels has the potential to support a positive return on investment for a biorefinery.
Read MoreCyanobacteria capture the Sun’s energy and use it to create food for themselves, all while drawing in carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen.
Read MoreCYCLALG is also based on a model of biorefinery that seeks to make comprehensive use of microalgal biomass, extend the useful service life of the waste generated in the process and diversify it into new products of interest in the chemical, energy and agricultural industries
Read MoreSorghum can potentially yield more energy per area of land than other crops while requiring much less input in terms of fertilizer or chemicals.
Read MoreThe United States has the potential to sustainably produce at least 1 billion dry tons of nonfood biomass resources annually by 2040.
