Researchers around the world are racing to find new ways to replace the gasoline in automobiles. Gasoline is getting more expensive and its not environment friendly. So, researchers at Ohio State University have found a new method to double the production of biofuel butanol, and they are hoping that it soon will replace gasoline in automobiles. bacteria could only produce a certain amount of butanol [...]

J. Craig Venter discusses his work with Synthetic Genomics, where he studied carbon feeding organisms in ocean sinks. These organisms hold a unique potential to create biofuels and may, Venter says, be the future for chemistry and the fuel industry.

Many U.S companies have announced plans to build plants that would take in material like wood chips, garbage or crop waste and turn out motor fuels. With the insane increase of gas prices which reached over 130$ a barrel and gasoline above 4$ a gallon, the waste-to-fuel industry now is working to develop a new system to convert waste into usable energy “fuel”.
