UC Riverside study finds emissions benefits for E15 blend in California

Green Car Congress

Although no strong differences were found for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, E15 showed lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings when compared to E10. The Renewable Fuels Association—which was one of the supporters of the study — hailed the report as proof of the value of E15 for California.

AE Biofuels subsidiary receives $1.88M grant to accelerate cellulosic ethanol plant

Green Car Congress

When fully incorporated into an operating ethanol facility, the company anticipates that the integrated cellulose/starch technology could replace up to 25% of traditional corn inputs with non-edible agricultural waste feedstocks, thus reducing fossil fuel consumption and overall green house gas (GHG) emissions.
