Olive Lynch, an entrepreneur from New Jersey, USA, started Green Waste Technologies to recapture some of those losses. Her mission: to &#8230;]]></description><link>http://biomassauthority.com/biofuel-from-fly-larvae/</link> </item> <item><title>Biofuel Powered Jets in the US Military</title> <description><![CDATA[General Omar Bradley, the last five-star General of the United States Army from World War II and the first military head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, once noted that, “Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics.” Military units can only accomplish what their equipment allows. Of critical importance to all modern armed forces is the &#8230;]]></description><link>http://biomassauthority.com/biofuels-powered-jets-in-the-us-military/</link> </item> <item><title>Reinventing Sewage Treatment with Biochar</title> <description><![CDATA[A university team of Hertz Foundation Fellows called the Biochar Group recently won recognition and financial support from the Bill &#38; Melinda Gates Foundation.  Their winning entry into the &#8220;Re-inventing the Toilet Challenge&#8221; (RTTC) was a unique application of biochar, which is a process by which charcoal is created through the thermal decomposition of biomass. &#8230;]]></description><link>http://biomassauthority.com/reinventing-sewage-treatment-with-biochar/</link> </item> <item><title>Thermya Announces Construction of Three Biocoal Plants</title> <description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve covered Thermya before: It&#8217;s a company headquartered in France which has developed a process to create a coal biomass from dried-out husks and other waste products. Today they announced construction of three biocoal plants, validating their product and anticipating full-scale production before the end of 2011.
