JatroDiesel Raises The Bar On Biofuels With Siemens

What's in Your Tank? An increasing amount of the diesel that fuels the world's cars, buses, trucks, tankers, trains, and ships is grown on the farm. And while most truckers wouldn't say, 'Filler up with chicken fat,' that's exactly what is going into the gas tanks of many 18-wheelers crisscrossing the country. Soy beans, chicken and bacon fat, and beef tallow are all playing a key role in weaning America from its dependence on oil. JatroDiesel is an emerging leader in turning this unheralded feedstock into high quality biodiesel across the U.S. and beyond - both as an equipment manufacturer and the owner/operator of new age refineries. "We started out strictly as an equipment-maker in the biodiesel market, which gave us incredible insight into what works and what doesn't using various feedstock. We quickly learned, firsthand, how to design and build the most productive and efficient biodiesel plants," explained Raj Mosali, JatroDiesel's president and CEO, who became interested in the idea of biodiesel production when after reading about alternative fuel in early 2004.

Supercomputer probes depths of biofuel's biggest barrier
2016-02-18 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Ask a biofuel researcher to name the single greatest technical barrier to cost-effective ethanol, and you're likely to receive a one-word response: lignin. Cellulosic ethanol--fuel derived from woody plants and waste biomass--has the potential to become an affordable, renewable transportation fuel that rivals gasoline, but lignin, one of the most ubiquitous components of the plant cell wall, gets in the way. In nature, the resilient lignin polymer helps provide the scaffolding for plants, reinforcing...
