Researchers at the University of Witwatersrand and the University of South Africa are proposing replacing the final purification steps of conventional bio-ethanol production with a simple gasoline-blending step. The nature of the fermentation process dictates that fermentation products are dilute, comprised primarily of water.

Nexen has major positions in three of the world’s most significant conventional basins: the UK North Sea, Offshore West Africa and the deep-water Gulf of Mexico. With 300,000 acres shale gas lands in the Horn River, Cordova and Liard basins in northeastern British Columbia, it has enough resources to double Nexen’s proved reserves.

The European Union (EU) market, which is home to about 30% of algae activity, will be limited initially by the industry’s focus on university research, and later by insufficient access to water, land, and nutrient sources. Ultimately, algae potential is greatest in regions where there is an abundance of land, water, and sunlight.

An international study of 10 global cities found that a balance of geophysical factors (climate, access to resources, and gateway status) and technical factors (power generation, urban design, and waste processing) determine the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) attributable to cities.

Water : The UNFCCC estimate of US$11 billion excluded costs of adapting to floods and assumes no costs for transferring water within nations from areas of surplus to areas of deficit. The study concludes that, with such levels of adaptation, about 80% of the cost of potential impacts might be avoided, but about 20% might not.
