The earlier comment about bio fuels being an issue is correct. We are seeing it now that the price of corn has gone up dramatically..why. Ethanol production and the fact that those producing will pay higher price for corn than feedstock owners will. Guess what. your food prices will eventually skyrocket.! cattle, pork, chickens etc.

Earth Bio Fuel (AXcess News) Ames, IA - Brent Shanks, an Iowa State University associate professor of chemical and biological engineering, is leading a research team that's working to develop chemical catalysts that could boost ethanol production by increasing the yield of fermentable sugars from corn.

Ethanol is produced at corn milling facilities for use as fuel or human consumption. While the processes are similar, these facilities are currently treated differently under Clean Air Act permitting programs. EPA's proposal would provide equal treatment for corn milling facilities, regardless of whether they produce ethanol for fuel or human consumption.

From fuel to interior parts, corn is growing in importance in various aspects of automobile manufacturing and operations. Corn is the main feedstock used in producing ethanol, which can be used as fuel either by itself or as an additive to gasoline, forming E85. Now, the same crop is going to be used in producing a stronger and much improved form of bioplastic. Mazda Motor Corporation, in partnership with leading Japanese companies, research institutes and universities, based plastic that can be used for automotive interior parts.

Fuel Cell Bio Shanks, who worked for the Shell Chemical Co. for 11 years, said the petrochemical industry has been developing catalysts and other technologies for working with fossil fuel molecules for about 80 years. Researchers working with corn and other bio-based molecules are just starting to develop catalysts and technologies to improve production of fuels and chemicals.

Bio Conversion Fuel Shanks' ethanol project is focused on synthesizing and testing catalysts made from a hybrid of organic and inorganic materials. The researchers are working at the nanostructure scale, meaning they're working at the molecular level.

Green Energy Current ethanol production technology uses enzymes to convert the starch in corn kernels into simple sugars. The simple sugars are fermented into ethanol. Shanks said that process uses about 80 percent of a corn kernel.

Bio Ethanol Fuel The remaining 20 percent of a kernel contains sugar chains that can't be fermented. Shanks and his research team are working to develop a chemical catalyst that will break those sugar chains into the simple sugars that can be fermented into ethanol.

Bio Clean Fuel Pulling out those sugars would also boost the protein level of the distillers dried grains left behind by ethanol production. That would make the byproduct more valuable as an animal feed.

Earth Bio Fuel Initial tests in the lab have produced promising results, Shanks said.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste "This research is in an area that makes a lot of sense for Iowa," said Shanks, who studied alternative energy as an Iowa State undergraduate during the energy crisis of the late 1970s and early 1980s. "I think our interest in alternative sources for energy and chemicals is very important to our entire society. We need to come up with alternatives. But I worry about coming up with them fast enough."
