British chemists have now come up with a novel answer: turn it into catalysts.     2013-04-29T07:00:00Z http://www.biofpr.com/details/feature/4612611/Biofuels_have_a_weed_problem.html Weeds may make good biofuel feedstocks, but biofuel feedstocks can also make good weeds. So how do you prevent the widespread growing of biofuel feedstocks leading to an explosion in noxious weeds?   2013-03-18T09:34:00Z http://www.biofpr.com/details/feature/4612581/Straying_off_the_beaten_track.html A search for more efficient ways to produce isobutanol and oil has taken two groups of scientists to some unusual places.     2013-02-28T09:24:00Z http://www.biofpr.com/details/feature/4612511/Fielding_the_stover_problem.html Does corn stover represent an ideal biofuel feedstock or is the environmental price of removing this abundant residue from fields simply too high? Two new studies attempt to find an answer.   2013-02-19T08:58:00Z http://www.biofpr.com/details/feature/4612631/Chemical_industry_goes_looking_for_biochemicals.html A new survey and five new research projects show that the chemical industry is increasingly interested in producing its chemicals from plant-based feedstocks, just as long as these chemicals are exactly the same as before.     2013-01-28T09:42:00Z http://www.biofpr.com/details/feature/4743191/Feedstocks_with_the_X-factor.html Belgian scientists have produced a simple way to identify feedstock stars of the future, by studying the chemical composition of 49 plant-based feedstocks and relating it to their potential to generate various different forms of bioenergy.     2013-05-13T13:09:00Z
