Production of #novolac #resin after partial substitution of #phenol from bio-oil. Overall, less than 20 mol% phenol substitution by #bio-#oil with a high content of pyrolytic lignin can be effective in producing novolac resin. #OSU Read more here: bsal.osu.edu/publications/j…

The USDA reduced its estimate for 2024-’25 soybean use in biofuel production in its latest WASDE report, released May 12. The agency expects soybean oil use in #biofuel to increase during the 2025-’26 marketing year. biomassmagazine.com/articles/usda-…

Technological Evolution of Bioethanol from First to Third Generation The urgent demand for sustainable, low-carbon energy has driven intensive R&D into renewables, establishing bioethanol as a key alternative. #CCUS #CO2 #RenewableEnergy #biofuel Article adeerus.com/2025/05/07/tec…

RECAP: There were 50+ Earth Month events on and around Ohio State's campuses between World Water Day and Earth Day! Check out some of the highlights: si.osu.edu/news/2025Earth…

On our Columbus campus, the CFAES Rattan Lal Center for Carbon Management and Sequestration advances our understanding of soil health. We look forward to seeing how this model will impact global research through the new Lal Carbon and Soil Health Center.

As we conclude Air Quality Awareness Week, we are reflecting on the significant air quality benefits that low-carbon liquid fuels like biodiesel and renewable diesel offer. These fuels have the ability to efficiently power diesel engines while drastically lowering criteria pollutants in new and existing diesel vehicles. Learn more: MiAdvancedBiofuels.com

We are working to meet the growing need to sustainably produce materials, #energy, #fiber and feed from traditional and alternative #biomass sources. One of the ways we make it possible is #upcycling of #organic wastes for added value. #OSU #research bsal.osu.edu/aboutus

Last week, we held our annual Student Scholarship and Awards Banquet 🎉 Congratulations to all students, faculty, staff, and friends who were honored! Check out the full list of awardees ⬇️ fabe.osu.edu/news/2025-fabe…

Anaerobic digestion for #bioenergy production: #Global status, environmental and techno-economic implications, and government policies. Find out how @BSAL_OSU is helping make our #planet a better and safer place to live! Happy Earth Day! #EarthDay2025 bsal.osu.edu/publications/j…

🌍🌱 This Earth Day, let’s celebrate biofuels! Thanks to US farmers & producers, today's ethanol is cleaner & more efficient than ever, cutting emissions by over 50% compared to gas. Ethanol is a clean, affordable homegrown energy solution.

Taking #EarthDay to appreciate @OhioEPA recognizing @OhioState for campus sustainability work led by @OhioStateAP - from carbon emissions to zero waste, from water efficiency to ecosystem services. The work continues, but strong progress has been made. fod.osu.edu/news/2025/02/1…

Determination of relative composition of #samples collected with open head spiral #grain sampling probe. In this #study, a method was proposed to prepare color-differentiated 15.2 cm layers of #corn to make a column of known proportions. #OSU #article bsal.osu.edu/publications/j…
