Fermenting corn starch to generate ethanol for fuel is a complex biochemical process that requires the monitoring of numerous parameters to ensure optimal production. Measuring these parameters using ...

Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from a variety of plant feedstocks, grains and starches. Since the United States has an abundant supply of corn (its number one crop), most of the ethanol produced in ...

Oklahoma State University was recently issued a patent that could significantly increase biofuel and chemical yields while reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Hasan Atiyeh, professor of biosystems and ...

Sorghum-related biofuels research is taking a localized approach, with the aim of making possible the effective production of ethanol in the farmer's own field. Sweet sorghum can be grown throughout ...

A Brazilian study paves the way to increased efficiency of second-generation (2G) ethanol production based on the discovery of novel targets for metabolic engineering in a more robust strain of ...

Members of the biofuels industry are ready to meet the challenge of producing replacements for petrochemical fuels that will be cost-competitive and renewable, and will meet the increasingly stringent ...

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 ...

Enduro Genetics, a Denmark-based start-up, aims to increase efficiency in biomanufacturing. By getting producing cells ‘addicted’ to production, the start-up aims to vastly improve production ...

Sweden’s University of Borås doctoral student Ramkumar Nair has shown it is possible to produce bioethanol from agricultural and industrial waste in existing plants in a socioeconomically sustainable ...

"Ethanol is a widely used bulk chemical with energy properties, mainly produced through grain fermentation, which raises food security concerns. Therefore, developing non-grain ethanol production ...
