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 >
