!: Augsburg College Releases Biodiesel Miracle

At a joint press conference held this morning in Science Hall 302, Augsburg College and SarTec Corporation officially announced the discovery of a chemical process that could free the United States from its dependence on petroleum diesel fuel. This revolutionary method to make biodiesel started with the curiosity of Augsburg chemistry senior Brian Krohn and ended with three Twin Cities scientists creating the "Mcgyan Process." Brian initiated his summer research project by deciding to study new ways to produce biodiesel. After Brian's preliminary research, his professor advised him to contact chemist Dr. Clayton McNeff, an Augsburg alumnus and vice president of SarTec. McNeff, his chief scientist Dr. Ben Yan, and Augsburg's Professor Arlin Gyberg took Brian's idea and created a chemical reaction that has never before been described in scientific literature. As a result of the Mcgyan Process discovery, McNeff co-founded Ever Cat Fuels based in Anoka. It is the only plant in the world using this new method to manufacture biodiesel. Industry analysts have been surprised by how well the Mcgyan Process works and its implications for fuel production worldwide. This process has many advantages over previous biodiesel production methods. It can convert a much wider range of feedstock oils and animal fats into biodiesel, including the byproducts from ethanol production. The Mcgyan Process recycles the catalyst and alcohol necessary to make biodiesel, it reduces the reaction time ...

THE MIRACLE BEAN - JATROPHA TOO

!: THE MIRACLE BEAN - JATROPHA TOO

AN ANCIENT PERENNIAL PLANT OFFERS NEW HOPE FOR TRUE SUSTAINABLE BIO-FUEL. Running Time: 4:30 minutes Jatropha curcas is a tough, drought-resistant plant that can grow in some of the harshest conditions on the planet, and sometimes not even requiring dirt, only the cracks in a rock. It has been used for centuries as hedge-fences for livestock in Central and South America, as animals (and humans) know not to eat the poisonous shrub. But as it turns out, the Jatropha plant and its potent and plentiful bean promises to be the future of sustainable bio-fuel. It doesnt compete with food crops in the global economy, and it requires a single planting that yields decades of harvestable energy. New Eye Television presents an original short documentary featuring a social farming organization employing green technologies they apply to a variety of Jatropha farming methods, producing bio-fuel at remarkably low operating costs, while maintaining environmental sensitivity. Growing and using Jatropha does not affect the price of food stock, such as corn, grain, and sugar, all of which are currently being used for bio-diesel production to fuel vehicles, competing with the use of those crops for food and driving up prices on both sides. Under the right conditions, Jatropha plants can live up to 45 years, their seeds can contain up to 46% oil which can be used to produce cheap bio-fuel, and perhaps most importantly doesnt compete for consumption in the world food markets. Another use for ...
