Weekly Industrial and Environmental Bio Blog Roundup
This week we start off with a little Road Music, From Bluegrass to Switchgrass, from our colleagues at the Biofuels Center of North Carolina. They’ve put together a nice set of bluegrass pieces. To listen visit their web site. Gas2.0 announces this week that BP could start selling biofuels in 2010, writing that, “BP has partnered with Verenium to bring a commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol facility online next year to start bringing alternative fuels to a Read More >

Road Music: From Bluegrass to Switchgrass
To get from here to there sometimes you need a little road music, and that’s just what the Biofuels Center of North Carolina is aiming to do. Earlier this week, according to Science in the Triangle, a RTI Fellows Symposium, “was held Monday and Tuesday at the University of North Carolina’s Friday Center in Chapel Hill. Global warming and what role biofuels will play in the energy supply were two of the scientific challenges addressed Read More >
Weekly Biofuels and Climate Change Blog Round Up
This week in the blogosphere in Industrial & Environmental Technology we start off with NASCAR. Yes that’s right NASCAR . Domestic Fuel.com quotes an article in USA Today about NASCAR, “The concept might seem incongruous in a sport inherently tied to an internal combustion engine that many find synonymous with global warming, but NASCAR, despite cars with an eye-popping 5 mpg, is trying to embrace its eco-conscious side as the federal government has begun prodding Read More >
Industrial and Environmental Biotech in the Blogosphere
This week we start off with a United Nations report that urges caution on biofuels. Green Inc, a New York Times blog writes, “The study concluded that whether a biofuel is climate-friendly or not depends largely on whether it is based on crops or production residues. Biofuels of the latter category were generally considered beneficial for the environment, and generating electricity locally from waste materials was found — in most cases — to be more Read More >

Weekly Blog Roundup
This week in the blogosphere there’s a lot of chatter about synthetic biology. The Columbia Journalism Review says that synthetic biology is still not a story. They cite a number of articles in a number of publications however they say, “According to a recent poll, Americans know very little about synthetic biology, which seeks to genetically engineer new forms of life or endow existing ones with novel powers. Part of that may be the press’s Read More >
