Urine – Waste Product or Future Power Source?
Researchers at Bristol Robotics Lab (BRL), a collaborative UWE/University of Bristol research facility, are looking into the use of urine as the ‘fuel’ for Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), which use bacterial cultures to break down ‘food’ to create power....

Biofuels Carbon Time Bomb
New studies suggest that while recovering woody biomass can have short term emission reduction benefits, increasing harvesting of forests will lead to a worsening climate crisis, writes TheBioenergySite Senior Editor Chris Harris.
