Biofuel demand to drive global palm, soy prices
(Mistry) Palm and soy oil prices are expected to rise in coming months as the world's appetite for "green" fuel grows and a greater quantity of oils is diverted to meet energy demand, a top industry analyst said on Sunday. Biofuel plants are sprouting at a dizzying pace as nations from Europe to Asia seek ways to cut dependence on crude oil, curb greenhouse gas emissions and boost agriculture.
Boys from Brazil show the way with biofuels
(The Sunday Times) America has discovered the business opportunities of alcohol; not the Martinis that traditionally oiled negotiations at the three-hour working lunch, but alcohol as fuel for cars. Concerned at his nation's dependence on foreign oil, President George W Bush signed the Energy Policy Act in August 2005, which requires 5% of motor fuel to be home-produced by 2012.
O'Brien's biodiesel bus to tour SWI
(Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil) If you live in Glenwood, Red Oak, Sidney or one of 12 other southwest Iowa towns, you may see a big green bus Tuesday or Wednesday. Powering that bus will be used cooking oil from Atlantic restaurants. Iowa Agriculture Secretary of State candidate Denise O'Brien said the 1989 bus is designed to make a point.
Shore business converts acres of soybeans to miles per gallon
(Baltimore Sun) Geologists will tell you there has never been a drop of oil discovered in Maryland. However, soybeans are plentiful - there are more than 450,000 acres of the crop in the state - and a Worcester County couple is producing a diesel fuel alternative made from soybean oil.
Cost of diesel continues to hurt farmers financially
(The Reporter) Rudolf Diesel originally designed the diesel engine to use coal dust as fuel, then experimented with vegetable oil (bio-diesel) before the petroleum industry came out with the product now known as diesel fuel. In agriculture, diesel fuels more than two-thirds of all farm equipment in the United States because diesel engines can perform demanding work.
Richard Branson: The jolly green giant
(Independent) Just a year ago, by his own confession, Sir Richard Branson was a sceptic on global warming. But last week, after a dramatic conversion, he set himself in the forefront of a growing number of businessmen campaigning to stop it running out of control.
