Insect population COLLAPSE a death warning for all humanity
Scientists are now warning that the insect population is collapsing worldwide. This is a red flag warning sign for humanity because if the insects collapse, the entire food web will implode, leading to global ecological catastrophe. If this happens, the collapse of humanity won’t be far behind. The cause of this accelerating collapse is the […]

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 […]

Can wood be a sustainable, cost-effective, environmentally-friendly biofuel? Researchers found fungal enzymes break it down
Researchers from the University of York discovered that enzymes found in fungi are capable of breaking down a certain main component of wood, as reported in a study published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. In ecosystems, fungi play a significant role in breaking down wood within the carbon cycle, releasing nutrients back into the soil. […]

“The potential is huge!” say researchers who were able to develop advanced biofuels using only existing power plants
A decade’s worth of studies on biomass gasification has finally delivered “huge” results for Swedish researchers. In a Science Daily article, they announced breakthroughs in conversion technology that would let countries like Sweden produce large amounts of renewable fuels without the need to build expensive new power plants. Chalmers University of Technology (Chalmers) energy expert […]

The latest left-wing ecological insanity: Clear-cutting forests to burn the trees for “green” energy
In the interest of stopping “global warming,” government officials in the United Kingdom have partnered with companies and governments in the state of Virginia to hack down large swaths of southern hardwood forest in order to create “biomass” energy for use across the pond. Since continuing to burn native fossil fuels like coal won’t help […]
