Florida Rail Service To Run On Biodiesel - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com

Florida Rail Service To Run On Biodiesel - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com: "Biodiesel is making commuter rail traffic in south Florida a little greener.

Tri-Rail, the commuter rail service connecting Miami with Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, announced this week that it was beginning to power most of its trains with biodiesel made from palm and soy oil, depending on the availability of each feedstock.

According to The Palm Beach Post, it is one of the first systems in the nation to do so.

Tri-Rail said the new fuel would cost no more than regular diesel because while it runs about 7 percent less efficiently it costs 10 to 30 cents less a gallon."

Biodiesel station, 'congreenience' store opening in Dover

Biodiesel station, 'congreenience' store opening in Dover: "STRATHAM — Simply Green Biofuels will open the first biodiesel refueling station and 'con-green-ience' store in the state next month.

'The station will be located at 547 Central Ave., Dover,' said Simply Green Manager Shannon Hill. 'It will be our first station and the first exclusively biodiesel station in the state.'

The station will feature gasoline made with 10 percent ethanol (E10), BioDiesel (both B5 and B20), and a convenience store model with a focus on local products.

Simply Green is taking what its owners call the '100 Mile Challenge' by committing to stock at least 75 percent of the congreenience store's inventory with products created within a 100-mile radius of Dover.

'This concept was second nature to us,' said Andrew Kellar, founder of Simply Green Biofuels. 'We want to provide a local option, not only for fuel, but for items that people use every day.

'Our customers can come in to shop and know that what they are buying is helping our local community, as well as reducing their own carbon footprint,' Kellar said."

Thailand Scientists Discover New Algae Species - Can Be Used to Produce Biodiesel : Gas 2.0

Thailand Scientists Discover New Algae Species - Can Be Used to Produce Biodiesel : Gas 2.0: "Researchers at Khon Kaen University (KKU) in Thailand have discovered a new species of algae, which could be used for the commercial production of biodiesel as early as April 2009.

The species, unimaginitively labelled KKU-S2, was found on the surface of a freshwater pond at the university, and was quickly identified as a promising source of alternative fuel. Speaking about the discovery, team-leader Dr Ratanaporn Leesing said, “We can extract oil from this species. Its properties are fit for biodiesel production. Within two days, the number of this alga can double, and within a week or two we can extract oil from it”"

Reuters | Latest Financial News / Full News Coverage: "A team of North American scientists has discovered a way of replicating the DNA code of a bacterium that could eventually allow the creation of bacteria to manufacture biofuels. Reporting in 'Science' magazine, a 17-strong group of scientists from the J Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, has constructed a bacterium's genome by chemically synthesising blocks of DNA. These are knitted together to create larger pieces of DNA that can be formed to make a synthetic version of Mycoplasma genitalium. Dr Craig Venter believes that specially-made micro-organisms can be created to produce hydrogen, while another strain could absorb excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."

GM greens up with bio-ethanol initiative (+video) - 15 Jan 2008 - Oil & gas news - NZ Herald

GM greens up with bio-ethanol initiative (+video) - 15 Jan 2008 - Oil & gas news - NZ Herald: "General Motors has announced a deal with a US ethanol research company that it believes could halve the price of a gallon of petrol, and reduce the CO2 emissions of the fuel by up to 84 per cent.

Coskata, a biology-based renewable energy company, has developed a means of producing ethanol from wood waste, household rubbish and old tyres by using bacteria and an existing gasification technology in a process that yields 99.7 per cent pure ethanol, plus water.

GM and Coskata claim that this method of ethanol production is far superior to using grain in terms of CO2 reduction, and an improvement on using ethanol produced using cellulosic plant-fibre ethanol (which is more CO2 efficient than grain) too."

E85 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

E85 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "
E85 is an alcohol fuel mixture that typically contains a mixture of up to 85% denatured fuel ethanol and gasoline or other hydrocarbon by volume. On an undenatured basis, the ethanol component ranges from 70% to 83%. E85 as a fuel is widely used in Sweden and is becoming increasingly common in the United States, mainly in the Midwest where corn is a major crop and is the primary source material for ethanol fuel production; however as yet, there are still only about 800 filling stations selling E85 to the public in the US, and only one in Canada[1], [2]."

What Is Bioethanol

What Is Bioethanol: "

The principle fuel used as a petrol substitute for road transport vehicles is bioethanol. Bioethanol fuel is mainly produced by the sugar fermentation process, although it can also be manufactured by the chemical process of reacting ethylene with steam.

The main sources of sugar required to produce ethanol come from fuel or energy crops. These crops are grown specifically for energy use and include corn, maize and wheat crops, waste straw, willow and popular trees, sawdust, reed canary grass, cord grasses, jerusalem artichoke, myscanthus and sorghum plants. There is also ongoing research and development into the use of municipal solid wastes to produce ethanol fuel.

Ethanol or ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) is a clear colourless liquid, it is biodegradable, low in toxicity and causes little environmental pollution if spilt. Ethanol burns to produce carbon dioxide and water. Ethanol is a high octane fuel and has replaced lead as an octane enhancer in petrol. By blending ethanol with gasoline we can also oxygenate the fuel mixture so it burns more completely and reduces polluting emissions. Ethanol fuel blends are widely sold in the United States. The most common blend is 10% ethanol and 90% petrol (E10). Vehicle engines require no modifications to run on E10 and vehicle warranties are unaffected also. Only flexible fuel vehicles can run on up to 85% ethanol and 15% petrol blends (E85).

Biodiesel Magazine

Biodiesel Magazine: "ABS Biodiesel was given the go-ahead by the Bristol City planning department to build a biodiesel plant in southwest England, close to major oil terminals and refineries. The company will be investing over £21 million (US$43 million) in the new 24,500-square-foot facility, which will cover three acres of undeveloped land at Bristol Port. The company said the facility will be the U.K.’s largest biodiesel plant with a capacity of 225,000 tons (67 million gallons) per year and the capability of doubling that in the future. The first and second years of capacity are already sold. Construction is slated to begin before the end of the year."

World's First Carbon-Neutral Biodiesel Plant Coming to Idaho (TreeHugger)

World's First Carbon-Neutral Biodiesel Plant Coming to Idaho (TreeHugger): "

Green Star Products, Inc. (GSPI) will build the first biodiesel plant to emit almost zero net greenhouse gases from direct plant production of biodiesel. We've been following the rise of biodiesel as an alternative to fossil fuels and gasoline (from the geography of the fuel to the celebs who use it to its addition to the dictionary), so we know that most production plants require heating input, usually from natural gas, require electricity from local utilities, which emit CO(2), and that the chemical processes uses 10% methanol (wood alcohol) made from natural gas, all of which contribute to our warming planet. GSPI has considered all of these factors in the design of their new plant; Joseph P. LaStella, P.E., President of GSPI, explains:

"First, our proprietary continuous flow waterless process requires less than one-third the electrical energy to operate versus existing batch plants. Therefore, we have decided to furnish our own electric generators, which will run on our own biodiesel. The existing electrical utility connections will only serve as an emergency backup service.

Green fuel lurks in pond scum - 27 Oct 2007 - Climate change news - NZ Herald

Green fuel lurks in pond scum - 27 Oct 2007 - Climate change news - NZ Herald: "

A plant scientist from West Texas believes one of the oldest, simplest life forms could help to ease some of today's toughest energy and environment problems.

Algae converts carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas blamed for global warming, into a vegetable oil that Glen Kertz, a plant cell expert who used to work for oil companies, hopes can be economically turned into biodiesel.

Algae doesn't need prime farmland, vast quantities of fertiliser, or large harvest vehicles, unlike corn which is the main United States feedstock for ethanol, the top alternative motor fuel.

The single-celled organisms, which are among the world's fastest growing plants, can prosper in small bags of water under the light of greenhouses.

"The more light I have, the more energy that I can capture and put back into the transportation system," Kertz, CEO of private company Valcent Products, said.
