Sentences with phrase «other biofuel processes»

Geobacter are naturally occurring microbes that have proved promising in cleaning up nuclear waste as well in improving other biofuel processes.

Not exact matches

Professor McGeehan said: «The engineering process is much the same as for enzymes currently being used in bio-washing detergents and in the manufacture of biofuels — the technology exists and it's well within the possibility that in the coming years we will see an industrially viable process to turn PET and potentially other substrates like PEF, PLA, and PBS, back into their original building blocks so that they can be sustainably recycled.»

Although CWT currently has a supply agreement with Butterball for animal and food processing waste, the turkey company is now looking to sell excess fat and skin to other biofuel companies.

While a few other groups have tested similar processes to create biofuel from wet algae, most of that work is done one batch at a time.

The bottom line: studying such interactions can help scientists identify principles that can be used to design microbial communities for biomass conversion to biofuels and other processes.

The results of these studies will be used as leverage to help scientists control processes for hydrogen storage, biofuel production, and other reactions.

Tax approximate CO2 emissions from final combustion of biofuels and biomass based strictly on product type without attempting to account for carbon sequestered during growth cycles or emitted during harvesting, distillation or other chemical processing or land - use impacts.

Topics include scenario planning, resource modeling, community and stakeholder input processes, and analysis of locally produced biofuels, wind and solar energy opportunities (both distributed and large scale), battery storage, and other renewable energy options.

Others are processing plants for tar sands or biofuel.

IMHO a better approach to biofuel would be a crop that can be grown without irrigation in wasteland such as the playas of the desert southwest and that yields an oil that does not require distillation or other energy intensive processing.

On the other hand, mixing just enough biofuels into jet fuel and maybe some new chemical processes applied to petroleum refining (hope it doesn't need HF)... Or maybe would could try to strip the H from the C in the «waste» products (might be economical if gasoline, being waste, only costs a penny -LRB-?)

Unlike fossil fuels, when biofuels and other plant - based substances are burned, no extra carbon is added to the air, even though this process also releases carbon dioxide into the air.

There is a wide range in the estimated heat - trapping emissions and other environmental impacts from each biofuel over its life cycle (i.e., from farm to finished fuel to use in the vehicle), depending on the feedstock, production process, and model inputs and assumptions.
