Researchers coax bacteria to make biodiesel | Green Tech - CNET News: "Biofuel start-up LS9 and California researchers on Wednesday claimed a breakthrough in converting non-food biomass into biodiesel using a genetically modified form of e. coli bacteria.
The research, done with the University of California at Berkeley and the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), is a step toward lowering the cost of making biodiesel from wood chips, corn stover, and other residual agricultural products. The group published its results in the journal Nature on Wednesday."

Green Power Island – The Storage Solution for Renewable Energy Overflow | SocialEarth
Green Power Island – The Storage Solution for Renewable Energy Overflow | SocialEarth: "The problem of overflow storage has been a hindrance to the renewable energy industry, namely wind power, but the increasing demand for renewables has opened up new opportunities for technology to meet this challenge. Danish architectural firm Gottlieb Paludan has taken on this issue. They created a low tech solution for storing overflow energy, and have done it with high tech innovation. Green Power Island is the result of careful engineering and design, implementing technology and nature for a sustainable future."

100 Percent Renewable? One Danish Island Experiments with Clean Power [Slide Show]: Scientific American
100 Percent Renewable? One Danish Island Experiments with Clean Power [Slide Show]: Scientific American: "WIND POWER: All told, the wind turbines on Samso supply more power than the residents need--Samso exports 80 million kilowatt-hours of wind-produced electricity annually--thus offsetting some of the island's nonrenewably powered activities, such as its cars, trucks and ferries."

Farming Fuel in Middle Eastern Salt Marshes: Scientific American: "A new biofuels project at Abu Dhabi's Masdar Institute of Science and Technology will unite Boeing, Honeywell and others in search of a system to produce fuel and other useful products from biomass and seawater.
The Sustainable Bioenergy Research Project is focused on integrating aquaculture and farming to create a closed-loop system that thrives in areas where fresh water is scarce."
