Let’s base the biofuel debate on facts,
RP Siegel asks Jesper Hedal Kløverpris, who is Sustainability Manager for Novozymes, how we can ensure that biofuels are being produced in a sustainable manner.
The biobased economy has enormous potential and we should not be surprised to see it carry a large share of the transition to a more sustainable economy.
RP Siegel interviews Claus Stig Pedersen, the Director of Novozymes Sustainability Development Board about their life cycle assessment processes.
The Soros Economic Development Fund and the Danish Industrialization Fund for Developing Countries just recently announced combined investments of nearly $9 million in CleanStar Mozambique, with the option to invest more in potential pan-African expansion.
Biofuels have the potential to reduce dependency on petroleum – and ameliorate global warming. But in the world of increasing drought – is it right to use water to grow crops for energy rather than food?
At scale, a small increase in efficiency means big savings potential.
There are a number of reasons why corn ethanol is looked upon with skepticism if not outright scorn in this country, but are they all accurate?
Americans have a giant waste problem, generating more than 200 million tons of waste per year. Here are some ways to turn waste into something useful – energy. Municipal solid waste contains roughly 18 percent food and 40 percent organic matter. So maybe that’s not such a crazy idea.
The variety and creation of biofuels can be overwhelming. Here is a comprehensive rundown on the types, the creation process and the differences of each. Most biofuels can be divided into two types: biologically derived material that can fermented to produce alcohol (starch), and natural oils that can be processed to create biodiesel (lipids).
Biofuels, defined as fuel created from recently living material, have been around for more than a century. Periodically, they would surge in popularity and abundance, only to be opposed by fossil fuel companies or phased out by heavy taxes. Recently legislation was passed that supports biofuel production. Will it prosper in the future?
