New Biofuels Processing Method
for Mobile Facilities
Science (July 11, 2010) — Chemical engineers at Purdue University have developed a new method to process agricultural waste and other biomass into biofuels, and they are proposing the creation of mobile processing plants that would rove the Midwest to produce the fuels.
“What’s important is [...]

Turning Trash Into Power
Biological Engineers Generate
Natural Gas with Bacteria
October 1, 2006 — A new kind of waste digester uses two different strains of bacteria in different tanks. This would normally take place in the same environment, but microbiologists have now separated it into two stages that increases natural-gas production. The technology [...]

Algae: Biofuel Of The Future?
ScienceDaily (Aug. 19, 2008) — In the world of alternative fuels, there may be nothing greener than pond scum.
Algae are tiny biological factories that use photosynthesis to transform carbon dioxide and sunlight into energy so efficiently that they can double their weight several times a day.
As part of the photosynthesis process algae [...]

$1 a Gallon Ethanol Getting Closer-Plasma Power!
Coskata’s gasification process uses a plasma “torch” to gasify biomass to syngas. The syngas is then converted to ethanol using proprietary micro-organisms.
Coskata leverages proprietary microorganisms and efficient bioreactor designs in a three-step conversion process that can turn virtually any carbon-based feedstock into ethanol, from anywhere in the world. The [...]

Heat & Biodiesel
Heat is needed during the biodiesel conversion process
for the following reasons:
1. Preheating your oil.
2. Heating your biodiesel during the settling process.
3. Drying water out of water-washed biodiesel.
4. Recovering methanol from biodiesel.
We have compiled a guide to heating systems here for you to be able to make
a more informed decision on which system [...]

Middelkerke – 1.3MW solar farm -
June 2007
In June 2007 Electrawinds started a solar energy project in which renewable energy is generated by capturing light in photovoltaic solar cells. These cells directly convert the light into electricity. More specifically, a 6ha site in Middelkerke has been completely covered with 7695 solar panels (approx. 400 families). [...]
