Global land-use changes caused by a major ramp-up in biofuel crops—enough to meet about 10% of the world’s energy needs—could make some regions warmer, according to a new integrated modeling study by researchers from MIT and the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole.

During the virtual visioning event in December, experts explored solar and renewable energy, carbon sequestration, water management, and geoengineering. As agencies and research organizations enact legislation to reduce carbon emissions and bolster clean-energy technologies, engineering is poised to lead with research and development.”

The end-Permian extinction is associated with a mysterious disruption to Earth’s carbon cycle. First, we show that geochemical signals indicate superexponential growth of the marine inorganic carbon reservoir, coincident with the extinction and consistent with the expansion of a new microbial metabolic pathway.

Instead, yeast make high volumes of ethanol and carbon dioxide. The researchers started by putting a modified gene from a marine bacterium that is controllable by blue light into yeast’s DNA. However, most attempts to create isobutanol biofuel have run into difficulties involving cost or scaling production to an industrial level.
