A team of scientists from the University of Sheffield have scooped an international award in recognition of their work on an innovative device which will make the production of alternative biofuels more energy efficient. View More (2010-01-08)
New Research Seeks to Enhance Alternative Fuel Integration in Public Vehicle Fleets
Rochester Institute of Technology and the County of Monroe, New York have created a research partnership to assess the performance of the County's fleet of E85 flex-fuel vehicles. E85 is comprised of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline and is considered a major alternative energy option for American automobiles. View More (2007-07-18)
New process doubles production of alternative fuel while slashing costs
A new discovery should make the alternative fuel butanol more attractive to the biofuel industry. University of Illinois scientist Hao Feng has found a way around the bottleneck that has frustrated producers in the past and could significantly reduce the cost of the energy involved in making it as well.

DOE publishes research roadmap for developing cleaner fuels
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released an ambitious new research agenda for the development of cellulosic ethanol as an alternative to gasoline. View More (2006-07-07)
Hydrogen as an alternative energy to petroleum
The key aspect of the project is the obtaining of metal hydrides with the capacity to "store" the hydrogen used in automotive vehicle fuel batteries. View More (2004-03-15)
Cellular organelle evolved repeatedly
NWO researchers have discovered that in the course of evolution hydrogenosomes repeatedly evolved from mitochondria. Hydrogenosomes, or 'hydrogen-forming organelles', are cell organelles that produce hydrogen and energy. They serve as an alternative energy supply in organisms that live without oxygen, such as anaerobic fungi and protozoa. The microbiologists believe that hydrogenosomes evolved...

Findings prove Miscanthus x giganteus has great potential as an alternative energy source
Concerns about the worldwide energy supply and national, environmental and economic security have resulted in a search for alternative energy sources. View More (2012-01-20)
NMSU/Wake Forest solar breakthrough will help spur viability of alternative energy
Imagine being able to paint your roof with enough alternative energy to heat and cool your home. What if soldiers in the field could carry an energy source in a roll of plastic wrap in their backpacks? View More (2005-10-10)
Energy network launches international web survey
A European website designed to stimulate informed debate on future energy sources this week launches a multi-lingual survey to gauge public attitudes to, and knowledge of, crucial energy issues. The INTUSER website (www.intuser.net) is a new on-line forum for both the general public and energy experts to communicate about energy issues - from nuclear power and global warming to alternative energy...

Household sewage: Not waste, but a vast new energy resource
In a finding that gives new meaning to the adage, "waste not, want not," scientists are reporting that household sewage has far more potential as an alternative energy source than previously thought. View More (2011-01-06)
Pulmonary CT angiography identifies disease and injury beyond the pulmonary arteries in children
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) can identify abnormalities and injury beyond the pulmonary arteries, including broken bones and heart disease, according to a study published in the September issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) View More (2009-08-19)
Major grant drives forward cost efficient solar power
Whether the search for alternative energy sources is driven by our concern about global fossil fuel supplies or over the atmospheric effects of burning of fossil fuels, the government has laid out its aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 60% of 1990 levels by 2050, and aims to over- achieve its goal of sourcing 10% of energy from renewables by 2010.
