Interaction of Light, Geothermal Water and Nutrients on Biomass Production of Chlorella sorokiniana Microalgae (CS-101)

Rastegary J., New Mexico State University, US

Little, if any, published data exist on growing algae in geothermal water. Geothermal water is a source of water rich in nutrient content and can be used for biofuel production. In this study geothermal water [...]

Non bacterial way of production of alcohols and biofuel

Gorakavi P.K., Gorakavi P.K., University college of Technology, Osmania University, IN

Biofuel which is currently being produced through a variety of bacterial uses can be replaced by a much more faster and economical process of production which involves production in laboratory with ot using metabolism. This [...]

A review: Comprehensive comparison of corn-based and cellulosic-based ethanol as biofuel sources

Hoover F., Abraham J., University of St. Thomas, US

This study reviewed literature on corn and cellulosic ethanol for their potential to replace petroleum fuels. Metrics include: energy yield, cropland requirements, and pollution reduction. The key findings are that an agreement exists among the [...]

Non Bacterial Way for Production of Biofuel for Jet Engines

Gorakavi P.K., Osmania University, IN

Production of a biofuel for jet engines is a priority research topic. Construction of similar chemical composition as that of the existing jet fuels is of absolute requirement. A similar production technique of producing the [...]

Supporting biofuel distribution through F.A.ST. ™ on-demand, variable ratio blending with a review of climate controlled storing and dispensing of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

Baer O., Shaw D., Clean Emission Fluids, Inc., US

Clean Emission Fluids, Inc. is preparing to present and discuss capabilities, scope and trial programs involving its F.A.ST. ™ units which support biofuel distribution and infrastructure for clean diesels. F.A.ST. ™ units enable biodiesel to [...]

Biofuels: Boom or Bust?

Johnson J., Palmacci E., Nerac, Inc., US

Corn-based ethanol has been touted by many as the panacea for America’s thirst for cheap and easy liquid energy. But this supposed cure for low-mileage woes is quickly showing itself to be yet another symptom [...]

Changing Roles: Cultivating Perennial Weeds vs. Conventional Crops for Bio-energy Production. The Case of Cynara cardunculus

Danalatos N.G., University of Thessaly, GR

Cardoon is a perennial, very deep-rooted weed of Mediterranean origin. If cultivated it produced under practically zero costs dry biomass yields of 12-16 t ha-1 rainfed ->25 t ha-1 (with 2-3 irrigations), ie. 6-8 toe [...]
