Is it possible to increase your vehicle’s performance and fuel efficiency while also slowing climate change through reduced greenhouse gas emissions? New research says yes.
With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) evaluated the performance of several key materials used in biofuel production, processing, storage, and transportation system...
EERE Success Story—Algae Hard at Work in Hawaii
You might think it would take a Halloween trick to transform grasses, corn husks, and other plants and organic waste into fuel you can use to power...
The beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii, is known for its pristine beaches and dramatic mountain ranges. But Kauai is not just a vacation spot; it is also the location of one of the largest algae biofuel production facilities in the United States.
A new analysis from Argonne National Laboratory, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), shows the potential of an algae fractionation process to produce renewable diesel fuel with 63%–68% lower emissions.
