In the debate over how best to reduce carbon emissions, there are some who claim, without much scientific support, that continuing to burn petroleum is better than shifting to renewable biofuels.

The study finds that cellulosic ethanol has fewer negative effects on human health because it emits smaller amounts of fine particulate matter, an esp...

Producing ethanol from cellulose can cut carbon dioxide emissions by 86% compared to gasoline according to the US Department of Energy, and ethanol can be produced in almost every part of the country.

Given the higher cost for building new cellulosic plants, changes in tax provisions will help with financing. But more is needed if we are to sustain the growth of this vital home grown industry.

Green tech companies worldwide received a record $8.4 billion in venture capital during the year, according to figures released Tuesday by the Cleante...

One of President-elect Obama's key objectives early in his administration is to create 2.5 million jobs through investment in green technologies.

Cellulosic ethanol is a type of fuel made from fibrous plant matter -- the non-edible stuff -- and wood chips. Optimists speculate that it could be as...

Discussing biofuels is like discussing drugs: society recognizes the difference between aspirin and cocaine and we should also be cognizant of differences in biofuels.
