: Scientists at DOE’s Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit, DOE’s Bioprocessing Separations Consortium, and Argonne National Laboratory have partnered with Amyris to meet demand for SAF using gas capture technologies.

Art defines nations. Globally, it’s a multi-billion-pound industry. We learn about art from a young age, fill our homes with it and are surrounded by it when we are hospitalised or, in our dotage, in

After years of research, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists have finally created an energy-dense and eco-friendly biofuel.

As effective as fossil fuels may be, their impact on the planet cannot be overstated. Now researchers at Berkeley Lab have coaxed bacteria into directly producing a new biofuel with an energy density significantly higher than jet fuel.

Converting petroleum into fuels involves crude chemistry first invented by humans in the 1800s. Meanwhile, bacteria have been producing carbon-based energy molecules for billions of years. Which d ...

Print Photo By USDA Teams from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Sandia National Laboratories have collaborated to develop a streamlined and efficient process for converting woody plant matter like forest overgrowth and agricultural waste -- material that is currently burned either intentionally or unintentionally -- into liquid biofuel. Their research was published recently in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. "According to a recent report, by 2050 the...
