CSU Testing Biofuel From Pine Beetle Killed Trees

CSU Testing Biofuel From Pine Beetle Killed Trees

It's not exactly turning a sow's ear into a silk purse, but Cobalt Technologies Inc. is aiming to transform pine-bark-beetle-killed lodgepole pines into motor fuel.

A Colorado State University lab is preparing to test the brew from the California startup company in a four-stroke, overhead-valve Honda engine.

The aim at CSU's Engines and Energy Conversion Lab will be to measure the power output and air emissions of the fuel.
