Advanced Biofuels

Total job creation, accounting for economic multiplier effects, could reach 123,000 in 2012, 383,000 in 2016, and 807,000 by 2022.

A new report shows that continuing to build advanced biofuels production capacity can create thousands of new jobs throughout the economy, contributing to U.S. economic growth and increasing energy security.

Large-scale production of advanced biofuels beyond the level of the Renewable Fuel Standard is achievable and sustainable by 2030.

In a presentation at International Science Attachés Briefing, Matthew Carr outlines how the "third wave" in biotechnology can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

With these benefits increasing demand for industrial biotechnology products and processes, this study uses patent data, survey results, and technology and firm level data from emerging sectors of industrial biotechnology to paint a detailed picture of innovation in the field. 

As fuel prices continue to rise, experts say one technology could help put the brakes on what we pay at the pump: Biofuels. 

We have used the biological processes of microorganisms for 6,000 years to make useful food products, such as bread and cheese, and to preserve dairy products.

BIO recently hosted a conference call for bloggers interested in the topic of biofuels.
