Fermenting corn starch to generate ethanol for fuel is a complex biochemical process that requires the monitoring of numerous parameters to ensure optimal production. Measuring these parameters using ...

Research at the Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois continues to improve the dry-grind process used to produce ethanol from corn. "One of the major challenges in ...

Scientists have found a way to boost ethanol production via yeast fermentation, a standard method for converting plant sugars into biofuels. Their approach relies on careful timing and a tight ...

Humans have used fermentation to produce wine, bread, and other related products for centuries. An article published in Microorganisms describes fermentation as the conversion of sugars or ...

Grayling Willer from Akron, Iowa has questions about proposed CO2 pipelines from ethanol plants: “There have been CO2 pipeline projects proposed to go through our area, carrying CO2 from ethanol ...

Members of the biofuels industry are ready to meet the challenge of producing replacements for petrochemical fuels that will be cost-competitive and renewable, and will meet the increasingly stringent ...

Enduro Genetics, a Denmark-based start-up, aims to increase efficiency in biomanufacturing. By getting producing cells ‘addicted’ to production, the start-up aims to vastly improve production ...

The US is the world's largest producer of bioethanol as renewable liquid fuel, with more than 200 commercial plants processing over 16 billion gallons per year. Plants typically use dry grind ...
