UMBI Receives $575K Subcontract to Develop More Efficient Methods for Cellulosic Biofuels Production

Posted at 6 August 2008 8:10

This was sent to me by my friend. Imagine how happy I was when I read it, it convey an ideal image of bio energy fuel.

Therefore, my advice to you is get into it!

The use of biomass as fuel is not new to Pakistan. In fact, I still remember train journeys from Karachi (in the very south of the country) to Rawalpindi (north of the country) during which I would intently watch the village women making patties of cow-dung, straw and clay to dry and use as home cooking fuel. Unfortunately it was a relatively inefficient use of the bio-mass and caused severe indoor air pollution with well documented adverse health effects. Well, times have changed, and with ..Read the rest of this post.

Anyway, take the chance now to reflect a little on what I have:

The University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute (UMBI) has received a $575,000, three-year subcontract award from the University of California at Berkeley to develop more efficient ways to convert lignocellulose to biofuels such as ethanol and butanol. The subcontract is part of a collaborative research and development effort designed to improve the efficiency of biofuel production. These three led efforts Principal Investigators, including Dr. Frank T. Robb of UMBI's ..Read the rest of this post.

They are so unique and cool.... Here is the preview:

TEMPO Interactive, Bandung: The energy crisis has forced people to look for energy alternatives. Johan Mononutu from North Sulawesi has discovered sugar palm as a potential ethanol. Only the sugar palm which has turned to acid can be made into ethanol, said Johan to Tempo, Sunday (3/8). The commissioner of PT Seho Energi presented his theory in Bandung for two days recently. Johan started the project in South Minahasa with the support of the regional government. Minahasa is known ..read all.

In honor of the writer, I appreciate in joy.

Yes, ULSD fuels have a lower BTU value and thus when burned in a diesel engine will result in less power. Cetane enhanced products can offset this power loss. Cetane is a high energy compound that makes the fuel burn more completely in the combustion chamber, resulting in more power, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy. Power Service diesel additives contain "+ Cetane Boost" to offset this power loss while also improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.
