- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedA potentially vast source of renewable energy sits just out of our grasp. Each year, more than 40 million tonnes of inedible plant material, including wheat stems, corn stover (the stalks and leaves) and wood shavings...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedAfter nightfall, the streets around Garalo, a small town in southern Mali, used to be pitch black. The town's 10,000 or so inhabitants had no electricity and so used paraffin (kerosene) to light their homes and places...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedWhen you imagine the crops that will provide biofuels, what is the first image that enters your mind? A field of corn or sugar cane? Maybe you should be picturing pond scum instead. Algae, the organisms that cover...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedSustainable, supersonic fighter jets. President Barack Obama conjured up that improbable image in the spring of 2011 to help students at Georgetown University, Washington DC, grasp why biofuels deserve a starring role...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedIn recent years a consensus of sorts has developed around energy, signalled most strongly in 2006 when George W. Bush admitted that the United States had an "addiction" to oil. Petroleum has come under attack from...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedIt was too good to be true: a world powered by an energy-packed liquid that we can conveniently tap from the ground. As more countries took advantage of these liquid riches it became obvious that there isn't enough...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedA single word can sum up the biofuel of the future as envisioned by the people trying to create it--petrol. "Our goal really is to come up with methods to make all the same molecules found in gasoline, jet fuel and...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedIt has widely been assumed that increased production of energy from biomass requires a sacrifice in food security, particularly for the worlds poor. Yet closer scrutiny suggests that modern bioenergy--in the form of...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedThere was nothing inevitable about the path Brazil took to where it is today--a country with a vibrant biofuel industry that annually turns half of its sugarcane harvest into 24 billion litres of ethanol to power 12.5...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedWhen Ferrari's Formula 1 drivers nabbed first and second place in last year's Bahrain Grand Prix they had a little something extra in their fuel tanks--lignocellulosic, or 'second-generation' biofuel. Even the...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 474, Issue 7352) Peer-ReviewedThe most important environmental impacts of biofuels occur not at a car's tailpipe or biorefinery's smokestack, but on the farms that grow the crops to be rendered into liquid transportation fuels. Biofuel production is...
