Researchers add evidence to ethanol s low-carbon benefits

Suggested Event Aug 31, 2021 to Sep 02, 2021 The carbon footprint of corn ethanol shrunk by 23% between 2005 and 2019 as farmers and ethanol producers adopted new technologies and improved efficiency, according to a new analysis published in the academic journal Biofuels Bioproducts and Biorefining by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory. By 2019, the researchers found, corn ethanol was reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by 44-52% compared to gasoline. Since 2000, corn ethanol production in the United State has increased significantly – from 1.6 to 15 billion gallons – due to supportive biofuel policies. In its study, the Argonne laboratory conducted a retrospective analysis of the changes in U.S. corn ethanol greenhouse gas emission intensity, sometimes known as carbon intensity, over the 15 years from 2005 to 2019, showing a significant decrease of 23%.

New report from US Dept of Energy researchers confirms ethanol s low-carbon benefits

Pierre, SD, USA / DRGNews May 5, 2021 | 10:23 AM The carbon footprint of corn ethanol shrunk by 23% between 2005 and 2019 as farmers and ethanol producers adopted new technologies and improved efficiency, according to a new analysis published in the academic journal Biofuels Bioproducts and Biorefining by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory. By 2019, the researchers found, corn ethanol was reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by 44-52% compared to gasoline. The researchers also determined that corn ethanol alone reduced transportation-related GHG emissions by nearly 550 million metric tons between 2005 and 2019. These findings are consistent with other research published earlier this year, which found corn ethanol offers an average GHG savings of 46% and the use of all biofuels (i.e., ethanol, renewable diesel, biodiesel, biogas, etc.) between 2008 and 2020 reduced GHG emissions by 980 million metric tons.

Spending on Quantum Tech on the Upswing

Spending on Quantum Tech on the Upswing ALGORITHMIC WARFARE INFOTECH 2/26/2021 Illustration: Getty Investments in quantum technology which use the manipulation of neutrons, photons, electrons and protons to perform tasks are increasing worldwide and will reach $10 billion by 2024, according to an expert. “The security implications of quantum technologies, as well as the expected advantage in computing and sensing have caught the interest of the world’s governments,” said Gabe Lenetsky, business development engineer at Keysight Technologies. China has poured billions of dollars into its quantum programs, he said during a January webinar hosted by BrightTALK. Other countries accelerating their investments include Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, and several Asia-Pacific nations including Japan.
