Univ of Washington team working to make poplar coppice viable cheap, high-volume biofuel feedstock

Green Car Congress

A University of Washington team is trying to make poplar an economically viable biofuel feedstock by testing the production of younger poplar trees that could be harvested more frequently—after only two or three years—instead of the usual 10- to 20-year cycle. Chang Dou/University of Washington.

High-density renewable jet fuel from eucalyptus

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Washington State University and the University of Nevada developed a novel process for synthesizing dense jet fuel from mint, pine, gumweed, eucalyptus or other plants. However, most of the reported bio-jet fuels are primarily composed of linear or branched chain alkanes.
