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?

Cellulose is not being used currently to produce ethanol, and a pilot plant that was being built to produce ethanol from wheat straw in Idaho was quashed by a Canadian company that would have been doing the project. Did any of these governors step up to that plate? Apparently, a current ethanol producer in Iowa is planning to do just that.

Sugar is still being used to make ethanol in Brazil. Ethanol for fuel has allowed the Brazilians to drill for oil and develop an infrastructure for all fuels, instead of lining the pockets of foreign corporations, read oil companies.

The process is being refined and the byproducts are being tailored to end uses, in effect, for species of livestock other than cattle, including for aquaculture.
The yield of fuel has also gone up considerably since the early days, this has been happening for quite a while now.

There is no refined fuel that is produced that doesn't take energy in the process, that includes fossil fuels, all fossil fuels with NO exceptions.
