WASHINGTON, July 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rather than being a political football, fuels of the future will be cleaner, cheaper, and more "made in America" if the United States adopts a national Low Carbon Fuel Standard. That's what scientists from six of the nation's leading research institutions found in a series of studies released today at a bipartisan briefing on Capitol Hill. "A national Low Carbon Fuel Standard is a promising framework to help solve the transportation energy...
Finding renewable and economic sources of energy are one of the most important concerns for the continuation of the human species. New research, published in BioMed Central's open access journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, has produced a novel strain of yeast with improved xylose tolerance and metabolism, and consequently improved ethanol production. Bioethanol is considered one of cleanest renewable replacements for fossil fuel. However using glucose from crops, such as sugar cane or...
