Shredding Stover Helps Make Ethanol Production More Efficient

Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 posted by posted by Ecacofonix @ 7:40 PM

Researcher Dennis Buckmaster of Purdue University has hit on a more efficient ethanol production with cellulosic processing. By shredding corn stover instead of the currently-used chopping method, less energy is required because the pieces are smaller, allowing easier and more productive cellulose derivative. Size doesn’t seem to make a difference in cellulose leachate yield, with large shreds comparable to smaller ones.

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
