First-generation biofuel operations use food crops like corn, soy, and sugarcane as raw materials, or feedstocks. Because these feedstocks divert land and water away from food production, using them ...

With all of these technologies, you could bring corn, first generation corn ethanol down to a net zero. [Scott] Coming up on "Energy Switch," the future of biofuels. [Narrator] Funding for "Energy ...

And unlike conventional or first-generation biofuels, which are produced from crops like corn and sugarcane that could otherwise be used for food, second-generation biofuels are derived from ...

While this first-generation biofuel provided an opportunity to learn how to evolve transportation fuel sources, ethanol had its detractors as engine damage was sometimes accelerated. "Switching to ...

Traditional feedstocks, primarily refined vegetable oils, are increasingly being replaced by advanced alternatives that offer ...

Ethanol, made from corn starch, is the most common biofuel in the United States, Blanchard said. Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center director Timothy Donohue said ethanol is referred to as a first ...

Every harvest season, millions of tons of corn stalks, husks, and leaves, collectively known as corn stover, are left behind in fields across the U.S. This agricultural residue, while abundant, ...

Biofuel technology was actually a mature technology. It just needed scaling up. But the supply of first-generation feedstocks was already becoming constrained, hence Sasol’s focus on energy ...
