		<description><![CDATA[Till date, all types of alcoholic drinks, or booze as they are commonly called, are produced only with the intention of drinking for socializing, fun, recreation and to drown one’s sorrows.
However the researchers of Abertay’s School of Contemporary Science have found a different and more beneficial use for alcoholic drinks.
The researchers here have been awarded the prestigious Carnegie Trust Research Grant to help them in the investigation of turning the residues that are found in the production of beer and whisky, into a form of renewable biofuel...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A team of researchers has devised a two stage process for turning biomass derived sugar into 2, 5-dimethylfuran (DMF). This is basically a liquid transportation fuel that has a 40% more energy density than ethanol and is a sustainable carbon-neutral fuel that reduces the amount of global reliance on fossil fuels.
This fuel is produced with numerous steps in chemical engineering, starting with sugar. Sugar is passed through acid and copper catalysts, with butanol acting as a solvent and some salt. Presently, the only form of renewable liquid fuel that is produced on a large scale is ethanol...]]></description>
