Wisconsin, GLBRC researchers use chemical genomics to engineer IL-resistant yeast to improve biofuel production

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) and colleagues have engineered a new strain of the yeast S. Since removing residual ionic liquid after deconstruction is an added step incurring added expense, the new strain by itself could lower the costs of making biofuels.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

Will we have a universal standard for charging? Is it worth the extra almost 50 percent added to the cost of the car? How big a deal is that when we consider this high initial cost of electric vehicles? You will look not just at an initial cost, but at how much they cost to maintain. What exactly is fast charging?
