Vitruivan crowd-sourcing funding for novel biofuel from sewage treatment bio-solids

Green Car Congress

It can be used as a fuel additive to displace and clean up existing fossil fuels, and to lower their carbon footprint. Data collected with colleagues at the University of Alabama have shown 70-90% conversion of feedstock to SCFAs (short chain fatty acids). EEB has higher energy content than ethanol: 26-29 MJ/L compared to 23.

Researchers develop JP-8 enzymatic biofuel cell; electricity from alkanes under mild conditions

Green Car Congress

A team from the University of Utah and CFD Research Corporation (CFDRC) reports the first bioelectrocatalysis of alkanes to produce electricity. However, the current methods for converting JP-8 to energy are insufficient. AMO is an oxidoreductase enzyme which converts alkanes to alcohols. in Huntsville, Alabama.
