DOE invests $240 million in biorefineries. July 23, 2008. NEW JERSEY, USA - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that it has finished its selection process for grants to be made to small-scale cellulosic ethanol refineries.
The selected biorefinery projects will receive up to a total of US $240 million in DOE funding, subject to appropriations, over the next five fiscal years. Once federal funding is combined with industry cost share, more than US $735 million could be invested in the nine projects, over the next four to five years.
This announcement follows last week's selection of two small-scale cellulosic biorefinery projects in Park Falls, Wisconsin and Jennings, Louisana for federal funding of up to US $40 million over five years.

BuildingGreen launches online fuel-cost-comparison calculator. July 7, 2008. BRATTLEBORO, VT – With rapidly rising energy prices around the country, something unusual has happened. Some heating fuels that used to be quite affordable, such as heating oil, have risen in price dramatically, making competing energy sources such as electricity relatively less expensive. In parts of the Northeast and Upper Midwest, even the most expensive form of electric heat—electric-resistance baseboard heat—is now less expensive than fuel oil.
To help consumers objectively compare fuel costs, BuildingGreen has just launched a sophisticated, yet very simple, online fuel-cost-comparison calculator.
