- MIT experts foresee efficient ethanol production
02-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
As the search for alternative fuel sources intensifies, more and more attention has been focused on ethanol--a fuel many see as desirable because it burns cleanly and can be produced from plants. In recent days, two MIT chemical engineering professors have weighed in on ethanol's potential -- Professor Gregory Stephanopoulos, in a Feb. 9 article for Science, and Assistant Professor Kristala Jones Prather, who testified during a Senate hearing on biofuels Feb. 1.

- Dried distiller's grains can help produce more beef
01-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Supplemental feeding of dried distiller's grains to cattle can help produce more beef in grazing programs, a Texas AgriculturalExperiment Station researcher said. After a summer and fall feeding study done with both heifers and steers, Dr. Jim MacDonald, Experiment Station beef nutritionist, said he believes this by-product of ethanol production will be useful in more thanjust feedlot or dairy operations.
