Fossil fuels are the major source of energy, chemicals and many materials but are responsible for a substantial portion of greenhouse gas emissions. To reach carbon neutrality, much of what's made ...

Researchers have developed a new process that uses microwave flow reaction and recyclable solid catalysts to efficiently hydrolyze polysaccharides into simple sugars. The developed device utilizes a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Increasing production of second-generation biofuels – those made from non-food biomass such as switchgrass, biomass sorghum, and corn stover – would lessen our reliance on ...

Thermochemical gasification transforms solid biomass into a versatile synthesis gas or “syngas” by partial oxidation at elevated temperatures. Gasifier designs—ranging from fixed-bed and fluidised-bed ...

The global push for sustainable energy and carbon-neutral fuels has accelerated the innovation in biomass-to-energy conversion. Traditional methods like combustion, gasification, and anaerobic ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers have demonstrated a new process to convert all biomass into liquid fuel, and the method could make possible mobile processing plants. The researchers at Purdue ...

So-called rock-eating microorganisms obtain their energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) from inorganic sources and make up the vast majority of biomass producers. Using electron microscopy and ...

One of the main factors driving prices in pharmaceuticals, such as cholesterol-lowering drugs and antibiotics, is the cost of production and materials. Researchers at the University of Maine Forest ...

The escalating need for renewable energy is one of the primary drivers of the biomass power generation market. Governments, industries, and consumers are increasingly turning to renewable energy ...

- Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) facility will be able to capture up to 550,000 tons of CO 2 annually using B&W’s SolveBright™ technology while sending carbon-negative power to the ...
