Nigeria’s quest for alternative clean energy through biofuels: an assessment

Biofuels in the Quest for Sustainable Energy Development

The numerous energy challenges facing the world coupled with the lack of sustainability of the non-renewable “fossil fuels world” has led the search to sustainable alternatives. Biofuel has emerged as an alternative with great promise with quite some problems to contend with; this include the development of feasible technologies such as the search for highly efficient saccharification enzymes; ...

The quest for biofuels fuels genome sequencing

The list of recently completed microbial genome projects (Table 1) shows further progress in sequencing genomes of poorly studied environmental bacteria. The genome of Aquifex aeolicus, sequenced 10 years ago, has been joined by genomes of two more representatives of the phylum Aquificae. The genome of Polaribacter sp. MED152, a marine member of Bacteroidetes, revealed a combination of heterotr...

Biofuels: An Alternative to Fossil Fuel

The most perplexing international problem concerning the fate of our planet is the issue of global warming. There are a number of complex factors governing the resolution of this extremely important environmental challenge. The decrease in world-wide fossil fuel reserves coupled with an increase in carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of hydrocarbons makes it imperative that alternative...
