Biofuels globally emit more CO2 than the fossil fuels they replace - study
Biofuel demand continues to grow worldwide despite being responsible for 16% more CO2 emissions globally than the fossil fuels they replace. Using just 3% of the same land for solar would produce the same amount of energy, new study shows
Sweden and Finland move to safeguard bioenergy production
Under EU rules, forest biomass — which includes woodchips used for energy — may count as renewable and sustainable if the member state shows that overall forest harvesting is sustainable. But Finland and Sweden’s heavy harvesting as well as the impact of forest fires that ravaged the Nordic countries in recent years endanger them qualifying as "sustainable".
High #biomass and #lipid content of the Tribonema minus (Tm) #alga make it a promising candidate for #biofuel production.
This architectural analysis of Tm PS1-LHC reveals unique #evolutionary and #molecular secrets!

Power plant's weed-fuelled comeback rejected by planning commission
By Amelia Bernasconi and Ben Clifford
The Independent Planning Commission of NSW knocks back plans to restart Redbank Power Station in the Hunter Valley, fuelling it with biomass instead of coal tailings.
