Eprida now offers a Technical Evaluation Report for your feedstock and process. What are the optimal process conditions (temperature, pressure, time, particle size, heating rate) needed by your feedstocks to produce fuels, biochar and other higher value co-products? Our laboratory services can provide information on the economic viability of using your feedstock with different process technologies as well as sample quantities for a range of laboratory analysis.

UK | Scotland | Seaweed farms 'could fuel future'
Pilot seaweed and algae farms are needed to assess Scotland's marine biomass potential, experts have urged. The recommendation comes in a report on using biomass for heating and fuel while avoiding the use of valuable agricultural land. Scientists want to see pilot farms and research into the most energy-rich types of seaweed. The report was carried out by the Scottish Association for Marine Science for The Crown Estate.

Climate change
Few areas of science have such profound implications for public policy and society as the study of climate change.
The science of climate change
by Eric Steig Along with various Seattle business and community leaders, city planners and politicians, a large group of scientists from the University of Washington got a chance to preview the new film, An Inconvenient Truth , last week.
RealClimate
The 2007 Malcolm McIntosh Lecture looks at the influence of oceans on weather and climate. CSIRO scientists are observing changes in ocean temperatures, ocean chemistry and global sea levels. The impact of climate change on marine biodiversity is becoming more apparent. To reduce this impact, urgent action needs to be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and stabilise global warming. (7:54) 2 December 2009 | Updated 25 November 2011 In this vodcast, we meet four marine scientists from CSIRO’s Wealth from Oceans Flagship who are conducting research for the Australian Climate Change Science Program on the impacts on our oceans of increased carbon dioxide in the air.

Representative concentration pathways. : Opening the future : Nature Climate Change
It took more than two years to hash out the first step in the IPCC's new approach to scenarios: choosing a handful of emissions trajectories, known as representative carbon pathways (RCPs). The RCPs then became the basis for new runs of the latest climate models. In parallel, the RCPs are also intended to be focal points for research on socio-economic scenarios, to see what kinds of developments might take the world along each pathway.
Climatic Research Unit email controversy
The Climatic Research Unit email controversy (also known as "Climategate" ) [ 2 ] [ 3 ] began in November 2009 with the hacking of a server at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) by an external attacker. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Several weeks before the Copenhagen Summit on climate change, an unknown individual or group breached CRU's server and copied thousands of emails and computer files to various locations on the Internet.

Climate change: The sad road from Kyoto to Durban
It seems to me that "We the people" now entails the deeper concept: "we the people who want to survive, and want to ensure the survival of our decendants". by xodarap Feb 21
