Construction of a large-scale 90-million-litres bioethanol production facility is expected to start in the second quarter of next year, a Central Energy Fund (CEF) official said on Friday. CEF biofuels project manager Sibusiso Ngubane stated that this project was a joint venture between State-owned financier, the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), CEF, and Sugar Beet South Africa.

The purpose of this paper is to review developments in Dye-sensitised Solar Cells (DSC) and discuss the feasibility of the technology as a future source of ubiquitous energy. Rapid technological developments have made the technology a viable future photovoltaic technology, but its overall impact is still unclear. This review on recent developments strives, based on historical developments, to forecast the future...
The Photovoltaic (PV) Supply Chain (SC) has been infrequently examined in SC literature. The PVSC is unique in that it is heavily driven by government policy and dependent on subsidies, sensitive to inventory fluctuations, raw material shortages, and geo-political tensions, and does not fit into traditional SC models. ...
ST. LOUIS, MO, May 14, 2012—Arranging DNA fragments into a genome sequence that scientists can interpret is a challenge often compared to assembling a puzzle except you don’t have the box and have no idea what the picture is supposed to be. Sometimes clues from other publicly-available DNA sequences of related organisms can be used to guide the assembly process, but its usefulness depends on how closely...
Champaign, IL – February 21, 2012 – Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have identified a new contender in the bioenergy race: a temperate and tropical maize hybrid. Their findings, published in GCB Bioenergy, show that the maize hybrid is potentially capable of producing ethanol from biomass (plant material used for biofuel production) at levels equal to or greater than ethanol...
