Biomass Jet Fuel Lowers Need for Foreign Oil
Sunday, October 23rd, 2011
Lanza Tech is leading the way in a project being worked on alongside, Imperium Renewables (a Seattle biofuel producer) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, or PNNL, to develop a new process in order to convert biomass alcohols into jet biofuels. This whole process was made possible by the U.S. Department of Energy, or DOE. Money was awarded to these companies to help research how well these chemicals will mix with your more traditional petroleum jet fuels.

Third Generation Biofuels
Tuesday, September 14th, 2010
World is running out of energy and no one is untouched by this fact. As fossil fuels are fast depleting, the renewable energy sources are as promising as first rain to farmer is. However, there are many constrains on many of these renewable energy sources that result in output or end product derived from these sources as insufficient like harnessing bulk amount of electricity is almost impossible. Here comes the brighter prospect, third generation fuel. Algae are a biodegradable fuel source that promises high yield per acre when compared to conventional biofuels. Oil spills will no longer kill the sea gulls if we welcome third generation biofuel into our everyday life.

Fourth Generation Bio-fuels
Friday, September 3rd, 2010
With the fossil fuels depleting at an alarming rate nowadays, it is feared that we may run out of resources pretty soon. It is obvious that this technological era would come to stand still, if there is no power to drive the world ahead. Scientists are desperately working on finding the right driving force. The outcome of their hard work is fourth generation biofuel that are safe and biodegradable. These fuels are the result of several complex ‘bio-chemical’ and ‘thermo-chemical’ processes. The evolution of these fuels is said to bring about a revolution in the global energy arena, thanks to the genetic engineers!
