Biologists and computational scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory recently refined two artificial intelligence (AI) programs originally built by Meta, the ...

Corn is a key source of biofuel. Fertilizing it releases a potent greenhouse gas into the air, so the federal government had approved research to grow the crop with less nitrogen. The funding is now ...

Definition: A biofuel is a fuel made from recently living biomass, such as crops, algae, microorganisms, agricultural residues, food waste or manure. Common examples include bioethanol, biodiesel, ...

In a paper in the journal Science, the researchers propose policies that would reward farmers for adopting "climate-smart" practices when growing biofuel crops and remove the hurdles that currently ...

A new USDA rule allows farmers to quantify carbon intensity for regenerative practices to boost biofuel profits.

USDA is making it easier for growers to qualify for a new biofuel tax credit by increasing the number of eligible crops and climate-smart farming practices and dropping a bundling requirement. USDA ...

The resumption of booming biomass-based diesel production is putting a spotlight on canola and other oilseeds.

First the plant stalk is harvested, shredded, and crushed. The extracted juice is then combined with bacteria and yeast in large bioreactors, where the sugars are metabolized and converted into ...

The outlook for biofuels may finally be brightening: With the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz choking off oil and gas deliveries to much of the world, prices for biofuels are increasing just ...

WASHINGTON - Global demand for biofuels could increase by nearly 70% by 2030 as governments seek alternatives to high-priced petroleum, but the expansion risks driving up food prices and worsening ...
