It could also go a long way toward building support for the EV transition among workers in the auto industry and its vast network of related industries. To these ends, the US Department of Energy has established the Domestic Manufacturing Conversion Grant Program. Now the program has announced its first round of award candidates.

Researchers identify new pathways in low-temp oxidation of hydrocarbons; important to fuel combustion, atmospheric chemistry and biochemistry

Green Car Congress

The new pathways lead to the conversion of KHPs [?-ketohydroperoxides] As oxidation products build up, acid-catalyzed and other lower-energy bimolecular channels are expected to dominate and lead to rapid equilibrium between KHP and CP. But they also found that part of the process must differ slightly from Korcek’s original hypothesis.

Newly engineered yeast can simultaneously ferment glucose and xylose to produce ethanol; significant cost benefits in ethanol production

Green Car Congress

In a process of adjustments to the original yeast, Yong-Su Jin at the University of Illinois and his colleagues converted it to one that will consume both types of sugar faster and more efficiently than any strain currently in use in the biofuel industry. Cellobiose, a part of plant cell walls, consists of two glucose sugars linked together.
