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

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 ...

Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass represents a promising pathway towards a sustainable energy future. Lignocellulosic biomass—comprising cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin—provides ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
