Important Truckers Forum Notice!

Biodiesel & Alternative Fuels Forum This is a forum to discuss bio-diesel and other kinds of alternative fuels. We think bio-diesel is the next revolution as Hydrogen costs too much to make and putting food (Ethanol) in your tank is not feasible and will cause food prices to skyrocket. What say you on bio-diesel? Should we start this bio-diesel revolution and kick it into high gear?

40 gallons per acre

about 40 gallons per acre of corn is all you get when you convert your crops to biodiesel.



at that rate - you would need all of north america (mexico canada included) and most of africa planted in corn to give the USA enough juice to keep rolling all year.

and that is just to keep the trucks rolling... not counting cars and their consumption.


it is a cool parlor trick to make fuel out of corn - but not an effective or cost worthy option to cover the problem 100%.

(part of the solution - not the answer)
