DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

Meanwhile, wet waste feedstocks, such as animal manure and fats, oils, and greases (FOG), represent another important category of resources that could be utilized to produce MCCI bioblendstocks due to its abundant availability. An open-access paper on their results is published in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.

Ammonia-salt solvent pretreatment for biomass could significantly reduce cost of cellulosic biofuels

Green Car Congress

A Rutgers-led team has developed a new biomass pretreatment process that could make it much cheaper to produce biofuels such as ethanol from plant waste and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Similar processes could greatly reduce the cost of producing biofuels from waste biomass like corn stalks and leaves.
