Biofuels, the Green alternativeApr 26, 2012 Although the European Union is committed to producing 10 percent of its energy in renewables by 2020, UN experts have claimed that despite being headlined as a magic solution to global warming, biofuels are a less efficient way than originally believed of reducing greenhouse gases. 
Rob Martienssen: Duck Weed: the BioFuel RevolutionMay 25, 2012 There has been growing interest in finding 'second generation' alternatives to food crops that "don't grow on arable land and instead can be used specifically for bio fuels," says Professor Rob Martienssen.

Biofuels - the Green alternativeMay 22, 2012 The European Union is committed to 10 percent of the energy to fuel its transport systems being from renewable sources by 2020, mostly biodiesel and bioethanol.

US airlines test bio fuel flightsApr 24, 2012 Some US airlines have begun testing enviromentally friendly fuel. And while the efforts may help the environment, unlike in the European Union, the US government does not force airliners to go green. The ecological benefits would be undeniable - just one year's avaiation traffic fuelled by bio fuel would equal removing 64000 cars off the road. But making the switch can be expensive and there are no long-term plans for companies to use alternative fuel on a regular basis. Al Jazeera's John Terrett reports from Washington. 
Biofuels: Rushing Mother NatureMay 25, 2012 What's standing in the way of taking biofuels from the forests to the highway? UBC Forestry Prof. Jack Saddler provides a sneak peek at what scientists are doing to bring biofuels to your local pump by 2020. From February 16-20, 2012, more than 8000 participants will convene at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting in Vancouver, Canada. Professor Jack Saddler is a speaker in the AAAS symposium Food, Feed, and Fuel: Optimizing Economic and Sustainable Biofuel Production. www.aaas.ubc.ca A film by Lemongrass Media www.lemongrassmedia.ca Copyright UBC 
Qantas to operate Biofuel flight April 2012May 16, 2012 With high fuel costs and carbon pricing affecting airlines around the world, the Qantas Group is taking the lead in advocating the development of a sustainable aviation fuel industry in Australia. 
Energy 101: BiofuelsMay 04, 2012 In this short video, Dr. Mark Mba Wright gives a broad overview of biofuels: from what they are to their technological requirements and challenges. This video is a follow-up of Dr. Mba Wright's talk for the MIT Energy Club's Energy 101 Series in 2011. Dr. Mark Mba Wright is a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT's Department of Chemical Engineering. Video by Cristina Botero. 2012. 
Homemade BiofuelMay 25, 2012 Thanks for checking out my video PLEASE NOTE: This is **NOT** intended as an exhaustive how-to tutorial. There are many such how-to tutorials online, just google "how to make your own biofuel" and you'll get great results. I do hope this can give you an idea of how simple the process can be, once you've gathered all the materials and are sure to take all appropriate safety precautions! But please do not try to do it on your own based solely on the info gathered in this video. I do welcome questions, would be glad to help you if I can! I spent many hours gathering the materials (from ordering chemicals online all the way down to buying sandwich baggies at Target) and going through the careful process of making the biofuel. What I made was only my first test batch. As of the publishing of this video, I haven't even gotten to try the fuel out in a diesel engine. I will be pursuing that opportunity, though, and will post any updates when I have them. My interest was discovering what the process is like and how feasible I felt it might be to a layperson like myself to make biofuel on a regular basis (I am NOT in the SLIGHTEST an expert in chemistry, mechanics, etc.). The video is roughly divided into three parts: 1. a snapshot of the process in action, 2. & 3. two different sections of concluding thoughts. 
STATE OF AMERICA'S BIOFUEL INDUSTRY 2012May 19, 2012 As President Barack Obama prepares to deliver his annual State of the Union Address, leaders of some of the top biofuels companies in the country are offering their thoughts on the state of America's biofuel industry in a special episode of the Advanced Biofuels Association's Better Fuels Moment online video series. The episode features Joel Velasco, senior vice president of Amyris; Jack Huttner, executive vice president, commercial and public affairs of Gevo; and Michael McAdams, president of the Advanced Biofuels Association, ABFA.

Australia's First Biofuel Powered Flight - Qantas A330-200 - Sydney to AdelaideMay 20, 2012 A video of QF1211 landing at then taking off from Adelaide Airport. It then departs as QF1120 back to Sydney (and no, it did not have a flock of seagulls following it, despite the fuel being old fish and chip oil!) This was Australia's first flight in which a biofuel was used. One of the General Electric CF6 engines was run on a 50-50 mix of regular Jet-A1 fuel and a blend of refined cooking oil imported from the USA. Apparently, this fuel costs alot more than regular Jet-A1, but Qantas absorbed the cost so that it will hopefully incur more research and refinement into its production and infrastructure and hopefully one day we will have a sustainable Bio-Fuel that doesnt suffer the price volatility that Jet-A1 has. The Aircraft used was a Airbus A330-200, built and leased to Qantas in 2010 and carries the rego VH-EBP The Captain of the flight, Phil Davenport was quoted as saying; "Flight captain Phil Davenport said the aircraft handled just the same as any other. "There was no real difference on the way over apart from a very slight reduction in the fuel flows on the engine that was using it, which basically means it was more economical and more efficient than the normal fuel," he said on arrival in Adelaide." Heres hoping that more research into the fuel is performed!! Please rate comment and subscribe if you liked my video, and be sure to check out my others. Cheers guys and girls!
