The biofuel industry offers an array of careers related to Bioenergy, including but not limited to agrofuels, microbiology, engineering, biochemistry, and more. Biofuels (also known as feedstock) generate from living or dead organisms, including matter extracted from...
Greenhouse gas emissions that drive global warming increased by 32% from 1990 through 2016. The transportation sector generated the majority of that carbon output. That means primarily on-road vehicles. This makes over-the-road transportation a focal point of reducing...
Biofuel has the advantage that it gets produced faster than through the traditional geological processes. Basically, it comes from renewable biomass material that is easier to reproduce than traditional fuels. With that said, what types of things could they use...
The first generation of mass-produced biodiesel used corn or sugarcane to manufacture ethanol. Problems soon arose with this approach, however. Not the least of them was aggressive pushback from environmentalists and others who objected to commandeering food...
Before understand how 3D printing and Biofuel can come together to create an impactful product, let’s look at them individually. Although 3D printing has been around for 40 years, it is now developing some traction. 3D printing uses various materials such as...
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the economy, most oil refiners have discovered new alternative ways to tackle the challenge of decreasing demand for gasoline to stay afloat during these uncertain times. One such practice is producing biofuels...
When people think of COVID-19, they don’t see an obvious connection to the biofuel industry. But the reality is that every industry that exists has been affected by this worldwide pandemic. Biofuel production companies have declining sales as fewer people focus...
Biofuels are thought of today as the advanced, cutting-edge fuels of the future. The reality, however, is that biofuels are the oldest source of energy known to humankind. Biofuels were the first fuels. After all, wood was the biofuel used by ancient man and primitive...
Check out the video version of John Kaweske’s blog post! Biofuels today represent a significant portion of the world’s energy infrastructure. Interest in the developments of such products as ethanol and biodiesel blossomed after the oil crisis of the 1970s....
Biofuels serve as an alternative to traditional fuels like coal and petroleum. Many environmental advocates support the expanded use of biofuels as a way to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Governments and policy groups have prioritized reducing fossil fuel...
