Biodegradation of Lignin
A number of wood-rotting fungi have been identified that break down lignin in natural conditions. These fungi produce enzymes that may be useful in bioremediation, biofuel production, and chemical production Follow this link to learn more: http://www.wiley-vch.de/books/biopoly/pdf/v01_kap05.pdf
Experimental Studies on the Combustion Characteristics of Alternative Jet Fuels
Conventional Jet-A and six alternative jet fuels, including three Fischer–Tropsch “Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene” fuels and three “Hydrotreated Renewable Jet” fuels, have been experimentally investigated to obtain their fundamental combustion characteristics in terms of Derived Cetane Number, autoignition response, laminar flame speed, and extinction stretch rate for premixed combustion.

Jatropha curcas, a promising crop for the generation of biodiesel and value-added coproducts
The review highlights the specific features of the Jatropha curcas plant and its potential for the production of biofuel, protein concentrates as livestock feed and value-added products that could enhance the economic viability of Jatropha seed oil-based biodiesel production. The roles of the plant in carbon capture, enhancing socio-economic conditions, food production in the tropical regions, and influencing micro-climate, vegetation and soil quality are discussed. The paper also gives a comparative account of the toxic and non-toxic genotypes of J. curcas from the point of view of their physical and chemical properties and their potential for biodiesel and livestock feed production. Future areas of research are also presented. Follow this link to learn more: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ejlt.200800244/abstract

CVal: A Spreadsheet Tool to Evaluate the Direct Benefits and Costs of Carbon Sequestration Contracts for Managed Forests.
This documentation is meant to accompany CVal, a downloadable spreadsheet tool. CVal was constructed for foresters, other land management advisors, landowners, and carbon credit aggregators to evaluate the direct benefits and costs of entering into contracts for carbon sequestered in managed forests and forest plantations.
