Regulatory Developments Regarding Algae Biomass

Beregson L.L., Bergeson & Campbell, P.C., US

To ensure that algae biomass as a commercial feedstock is considered appropriately by federal regulators under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) [...]

Biodiesel Co-product Utilization: Glycerol-derived Films for use in Commercial Applications

Wyatt V., Strahan G., Liu C-K., Jin T., United States Department of Agriculture, US

Developing new outlets for glycerol would have a significant impact on the economics of biodiesel production if value-added products made from glycerol can be identified. Glycerol is the major co-product produced from the process used [...]

Production Optimization of E. Coli Fermented Synthetic Spider Silk for Commercial Viability

Edlund A., Lewis R., Jones J., Quinn J., Utah State University, US

While spider silk has been known for its impressive physical properties including strength to weight ratio, biocompatibility, elasticity and toughness, the commercial production has been limited. The ability to manufacture synthetic spider silk on an [...]

An Overview of Biomass and Biogas for Energy Generation: Recent Development and Perspectives

Omer A., UON, UK

Biogas from biomass appears to have potential as an alternative energy source, which is potentially rich in biomass resources. This is an overview of some salient points and perspectives of biogas technology. The current literature [...]

Biorenewable Production Pathway for Nylon and PET

Forney C., Iowa State University, US

Advances in biological engineering over the last several decades have increased the production of naturally (and some non-naturally) occurring molecules from biomass. However, it is evident that despite these gains, relying solely on biological methods [...]

Graphene decorated metal nanoclusters as an effective novel catalyst for improving the hydrogen storage behaviour of MgH2

Sterlin Leo Hudson M., Ramesh A., Takahashi K., Central University of Tamil Nadu, IN

Abstract: High volumetric and gravimetric hydrogen density in MgH2 motivates significant research attention over the recent years to make it as a viable hydrogen storage material for fuel cell applications. However, the high thermodynamic stability [...]
