Challenges for biofuels: New life cycle assessment report from Energy Biosciences Institute Peer-Reviewed Publication. DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ...

Biofuels have been an increasingly hot topic on the discussion table in the last few years. ... a more careful analysis of the life cycle of biodiesel reveals that the energy (and CO2) ...

Research suggests in one environmental category, at least, biofuel crops and corn are equal. Both have a similar water-usage footprint.

The world faces an increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and a shortage of carbon in the soil. However, bioenergy sorghum can provide meaningful relief from both problems, according to ...

Algae-derived biofuel can reduce life cycle CO2 emissions by 50 to 70 percent compared to petroleum fuels, and is approaching a similar Energy Return on Investment (EROI) as conventional petroleum ...

The majority of plant matter we have available to produce biofuels comes in the form of cellulose, a long polymer of sugars. It's easiest to convert this material to ethanol, but that creates its ...

Analyses by scientists who have studied the life-cycle impacts of growing corn and other crops to produce ethanol have generally concluded biofuels can create between 10 percent to 50 percent less ...

Algae-derived biofuel can reduce life cycle CO2 emissions by 50 to 70 percent compared to petroleum fuels, and is approaching a similar Energy Return on Investment (EROI) as conventional petroleum ...

When I became involved in the American Biofuels Council three years ago, the push for biofuels was at its highest point in the technology hype cycle. Now, in Arizona, under the aegis of the Desert ...
