    Defense projects with ties to School of Mines, other state schools get nod in Senate committee  Sep 10, 2009
    This project will attempt to develop bioconversion technologies of biodiesel, green diesel, and biohydrogen generation from lignocellulosic biomass which will help the Air Force achieve their target of 18 percent biofuel production of current fuel consumption. The School of Mines is partnering with South Dakota State University and two other South Dakota-based companies on this project. (Rapid City Journal, SD)

    Enzyme cocktail converts cellulosic materials, water into hydrogen fuel  Feb 12, 2009
    "It is exciting because using cellulose instead of starch expands the renewable resource for producing hydrogen to include biomass," said Jonathan Mielenz, leader of the Bioconversion Science and Technology Group at ORNL.. The researchers used cellulosic materials isolated from wood chips, but crop waste or switchgrass could also be used. (EurekAlert!)
