A Renaissance: Furfural for Rocket Fuel
Eco-friendly and affordable rocketfuel blends to replace currently used toxic fuels.
Closing In on Butanol for Biofuel
At the ARS Bioenergy Research Unit in Peoria, Illinois, chemical engineer Nasib Qureshi observes and controls a fermentor in which butanol is produced from corn stover and recovered simultaneously with a vacuum.
Butanol is the go-to industrial solvent for products such as lacquers and enamels, but it might also play a substantial role in the production of renewable fuels. Gallon for gallon, it has 30 percent more energy than ethanol and only around 4 percent less energy than a gallon of petroleum-based gasoline.

Carbon-Carbon Coupling Reactions of Furan and Furfural (liquid transportation fuels)
Carbon-Carbon coupling reactions of furan and furfural (liquid transportation fuels)
Abstract: Upgrading of furan and small oxygenates obtained from the decomposition of cellulosic materials via formation of carbon-carbon bonds is critical to effective conversion of biomass to liquid transportation fuels. (more…)
