(Natural News) Swedish researchers are keen on recovering as many resources as possible from waste products. One of their latest research projects promises to come up with a way to free useful chemical compounds from biological waste. In this context, biological waste refers to unwanted organic waste products from the agricultural and food industries, such […]

(Natural News) A new study evaluated the potential of plant-derived biofuels to compete with petroleum-based products as a sustainable source of fuel for the aviation industry. It reported that bio-jet fuel might become a viable alternative to fossil fuels – but only if researchers maintain their current rate of success. The global aviation industry consumes […]

(Natural News) Polyolefin makes a considerable chunk of the millions of tons of plastic that end up each year in the oceans as plastic trash. Fortunately, Indiana-based researchers have developed a new chemical technique that could turn the plastic pollutant into clean fuels and other valuable products. The conversion technique came from the laboratories of Purdue University. A joint work of professors, graduate students, […]

(Natural News) A recent study that was published on the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences website revealed a new way of producing ethanol without the need for corn or other crops, providing a new avenue for sustainable ethanol production. Vehicles in the United States run on a fuel blend consisting of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent […]

(Natural News) Antioxidants have become one of the most popular buzzwords when it comes to human health, and for good reason: They protect the body from aging and inflammation, and can even help us with weight loss. However, a study published in the Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences indicates that they could soon be used […]

(Natural News) Beer could soon replace diesel and gasoline as a promising source of sustainable motor fuel by 2022, thanks to chemists who developed a method for converting the alcoholic beverage into a new type of fuel without the need to alter the vehicles. Scientists from the University of Bristol have managed to create fuel from beer […]
