Alcohol FuelsAlcohol Fuels from Biomass – Assessment of Production TechnologiesCategory: - Documnet Type: Technical ReportThe purpose of this study is to consolidate and document the progress to date and development status of biomass-to-alcohol (bioalcohol) production technologies, and to help guide continued development activities in the Western region and elsewhere. Specific objectives outlined for the study are to: ... More»Author: Dennis Schuetzle, Gregory Tamblyn and Frederick Tornatore - submitted on Mon, 11/03/2008 - 18:38. How Green Are Biofuels?Category: - Documnet Type: Journal ArticleBiofuels derived from renewable resources are thought to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, a Swiss study by Zah et al. (German) looks at the full life-cycle costs of 26 different biofuels produced from a wide variety of crops. The study assesses the t... More» Author: Scharlemann, Jorn P.W. and Williams F. Laurance - submitted on Thu, 07/10/2008 - 19:34. BioenergyCategory: - Documnet Type: Book ReviewBioenergy provides a thorough, yet concise, assessment of microbial conversions that lead to renewable fuels. The chapters are broken down into individual topics, written by experts currently engaged in the research, compiled in the format of a scientific journal. ... More» Author: Wall, Judy D.; Caroline S. Harwood; Arnold Demain - submitted on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 19:41. Challenges in Engineering Microbes for Biofuels ProductionCategory: - Documnet Type: Journal ArticleRecent discoveries in Microbiology have made cellulosic transportation fuel a not-so-distant reality. However, significant advancements must still be made before the processing of cellulosic biomass to a liquid transportation fuel can be profitable at any scale. ...

Creating Markets for Green Biofuels: Measuring and improving environmental performanceCategory: Policy Incentives - Documnet Type: Technical ReportConsumers often assume that the production and use of biofuels is "green" or "environmentally friendly". Biofuels are even touted as being solutions to environmental degradation and climate change. However at present, neither government officials nor consumers have any way of knowing whether using any particular biofuel is good, indifferent, or bad for the environment.... More» Author: Brian T.
