IncBio finishes new head offices in Portugal

Plantations International News IncBio, a Portuguese design company being experts in modern totally automated commercial ultrasonic biodiesel plants, has actually completed the refurbishment work with its brand-new headquarters in Maia, Portugal, in a move developed to suit growth. The company has actually moved in phases to the new center during 2015, whilst building job was being performed. The new center was inaugurated throughout the Biofuels International Conference on 23 September 2015, of which IncBio was the major sponsor and co-host. IncBio's new place has a workplace of over 1,400 m2 and also an industrial manufacturing storage facility with 3,200 m2. The [...]

Peats Dirt to sustain new Scania fleet with its very own biodiesel

Plantations International Information Willunga, South Australia-based Peats Dirt has developed its own biodiesel manufacturing plant, utilising 'dirty water' it accumulates from food manufacturing places. The biodiesel will be made use of to fuel a new fleet of 13 Scania trucks it is acquiring for its compilation and also distribution workings around the state. Peats Dirt MD Peter Wadewitz claims he intends to make greater than 1 million litres of biodiesel in the very first year at his McLaren Vale headquarters, a hr south of Adelaide, which would provide the mass of the 1.3 million litres his fleet of vehicles as well [...]

Platts launches price assessments for ethanol by-product dried distillers grain

Plantations International News Platts, a global provider of energy and commodities information, has begun publishing price assessments for a key ethanol by-product increasingly used as animal feed in the US and globally. The new references are for dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and reflect values for the Midwest, the key corn, wheat, and grains producing region in the US, and exportable values at the US Gulf Coast. DDGS is a by-product from the making of ethanol using a dry-mill method, which grinds into flour the whole grain kernel rather than separating it into its germ, fiber, protein, and starch parts [...]

Michigan State University partners with ExxonMobil to improve algal biofuels

Plantations International Information A new $ 1 million (appr. EUR890,000) connection in between Michigan State University (MSU) and also ExxonMobil will certainly increase research study developed to advance the essential scientific research required to progress algae-based fuels. The general objective of the partnership is to enhance the effectiveness of photosynthesis in microalgae to create biofuels and bioproducts. The trick to bioenergy is the effectiveness of photosynthesis, the procedure algae usage to record solar power and also the very first step in converting the power from the sun into a fluid gas. Previous research has actually shown that algae photosynthesis can be [...]

Los Alamos scientists establish brand-new nanotech for biofuel cell layout

Plantations International Information Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists and external collaborators have actually synthesised as well as qualified a brand-new DNA-templated gold nanocluster (AuNC) that might settle a crucial methodological obstacle for efficient biofuel cell design. Ligands, particles that bind to a main metal atom, are essential to develop secure nanoclusters. For this study, the scientists chose single-stranded DNA as the ligand, as DNA is an organic nanoscale product having top affinity for metal cations as well as can be utilized to assembly the collection to various other nanoscale material such as carbon nanotubes. Saumen Chakraborty, a scientist on the project, [...]
