The first of a new breed of biofuel plants began production in Minnesota this week. Gevo Inc. said it completed the $40 million conversion of an ethanol plant in Luverne, Minn., and began feeding corn ...

UC Santa Cruz chemists have discovered a new way to produce biodiesel from waste oil that both simplifies the process and requires relatively mild heat. This discovery has the potential to make the ...

Biodiesel, a green alternative to conventional diesel, has been shown to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 74%. Biodiesel is produced through transesterification, converting triglycerides into ...

Scientists have found a new way to produce sugar from corn stalks and other crop waste, potentially opening a new pathway to sustainable biofuels. Scientists at Washington State University have found ...

Wastewater from humans in a single year could fill more than 100 million Olympic-size swimming pools, according to researchers from Canada and the Netherlands (Earth Syst. Sci. Data 2021, DOI: 10.5194 ...
