Demand for alternative fuels and other products made from renewable sources continue to increase as a means of protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. Research activities focus on the development of a range of bioproducts produced from renewable sources as well as the evaluation of suitable feedstocks as input into bioproduct production processes.
New Crops for Biofuel Production in Louisiana
In 2011, the LSU AgCenter embarked upon a five-year initiative, funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to develop crops that can be used for biofuel production across the southern United States, thus offering an opportunity to improve local farm incomes.
The study shows that sprayable bio-based polysaccharide nanoparticle coatings can help maintain postharvest fruit quality.
Energy industry has been drilling deeper, long horizontal, multi-lateral wells to tap deeper reservoirs to meet increased global energy demand.
(08/03/22) The Louisiana Board of Regents has awarded the LSU AgCenter Louisiana Institute for Bioproducts and Bioprocessing a grant of nearly $1 million.
Virent, one of the industry partners working with the LSU AgCenter on its SUBI project has been selected as a semi-finalist for the Energy Innovation Award presented by the Washington, DC-based organization, Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE).
The USDA is making nearly $15.5 million in payments to 188 producers through the Advanced Biofuel Payment Program to support the production of advanced biofuel.
Information about the LSU AgCenter's 2013 Macon Ridge Field Day.
Donal Day of the LSU AgCenter works with SynGest Inc. and Unitel Technologies Inc. to create the Optinol process, a process designed produce bio-butanol at a cost that is equal to that of creating ethanol.
Biofuels and biobased chemical makers hope to win with cellulosic sugars.
These webinars are hosted by Iowa State Univesity's CENUSA Bioenergy project. The Aug. 30 seminar will look at the interaction of ethanol with different materials found in older engines.
Tuesday, July 23, Bob Dinneen, president and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, stressed that by virtually any measure, the Renewable Fuel Standard has been an unmitigated success by reducing our dependence on imported petroleum, stimulating investment in new technologies and reducing gasoline prices.
Research to date has demonstrated the technical applicability of HT processing for a wide range of plant biomass types, including invasive plant species and preservative-treated wood waste, both of which have little or no economic value and represent an environmental and ecological problem. This paper will summarize our results using various plant feedstocks for HT treatment with respect to hydrocarbon yields, chemical composition of semi-volatile mixtures and volume reduction.
The Louisiana Institute for Biofuels and Bioprocessing (LIBBi) provides a sound, science-based roadmap to support new biofuels and bioprocessing enterprises in Louisiana. The institute links our state’s agricultural base with emerging bioenergy initiatives, thereby expanding and strengthening local, state and regional economies.
