Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is durable and holds up against moisture and corrosion. That makes it a good plastic for pipes, construction material, and medical devices. But its high chlorine content also ...

Using a wet ethanol production method that begins by soaking corn kernels rather than grinding them, results in more gallons of ethanol and more usable co-products, giving ethanol producers a bigger ...

New technique to monitor contamination in bioethanol production could increase revenue in more than $1.6 billion USD and reduce CO2 emissions by 2 million tons. For the first time ever, researchers at ...

Scientists are developing a process that cleans up and improves the dry-grind ethanol production process. The process uses fungus to reduce energy costs, allow more water recycling and improve a ...

Researchers in Tennessee have stumbled upon a process that could revolutionize the ethanol business in Iowa. Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a nanoscience user facility owned by the ...

Current R&D on processing technologies is focused on improving the conversion of low-value biomass feedstocks to ethanol. According to the Bioethanol Strategic Roadmap, NREL's primary guide for the ...

INPASA Agroindustrial S/A bioethanol plant expansion project in Sinop, Mato Grosso, Brazil. This expansion boosts the production capacity to over 2 billion liters annually, making it the largest grain ...

Hydrogen could be made using agricultural waste under a new production process that uses less energy than existing methods and emits no greenhouse gases. The novel process turns bioethanol into clean ...

In 1998, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fuels Development (OFD) requested that the National Research Council (NRC) evaluate the OFD's research and development (R&D) strategy and ...

URBANA – Using a wet ethanol production method that begins by soaking corn kernels rather than grinding them, results in more gallons of ethanol and more usable co-products, giving ethanol producers a ...
