Study: Marine algae thrive when given sugarcane bagasse

Researchers have identified a new use for sugarcane bagasse: Serving as substrate material for valuable microalgae that will be turned into biodiesel. They reported that the agricultural waste material is able to improve the growth and amount of lipids in marine algae, which can then be converted into biofuel. The processing of sugarcane involves mechanically […]

Sugarcane is an eco-friendly option for the improved production of biomass in marine algae

Taiwanese and Vietnamese researchers tested hydrolized sugarcane bagasse as a carbon-rich substrate for Schizochytrium microalgae. They wanted to determine if sugarcane bagasse is an inexpensive means of boosting the biomass and lipids produced by the microalgae, which are being considered for use in the production of biofuel. The study was supported by Ton Duc Thang University and […]

Scientists attempt to investigate how biodiesel byproducts can be used for green chemistry

A Swedish research team has received the green light and the greenbacks to conduct a new study. The team will be looking for a new way to take the waste produced by the biodiesel production process and turn it into useful materials, an article in Chalmers Chemistry and Chemical Engineering News stated. The concept of […]

Bacteria from cold environments may prove useful in making green, energy-saving detergents

In the coming years, many products that you might be using on a daily basis will be replaced by more eco-friendly counterparts. Scientists working in the fields of green and energy-saving technology are working hard to ensure that. One example of such a change could be due to biosurfactants – particles produced by certain microorganisms – […]
