The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

  1. YES! It means learning how to duplicate the anaerobic digestion process that goes on in a termite’s gut, but it CAN be done!

  2. That’s the point, to make it as costly as possible. We could be using so many other crops or plants but it’s a government mandate to burn our food, not to mention the food shortages ethanol production is causing the world over. Ethanol is a joke, it uses up as much energy as it replaces so there is zero to little gain.

  3. Synthetic diesel

    Wood, hemp, straw, corn, garbage, food scraps, and sewage-sludge may be dried and gasified to synthesis gas. After purification the Synthetic diesel

    Wood, hemp, straw, corn, garbage, food scraps, and sewage-sludge may be dried and gasified to synthesis gas. After purification the Fischer-Tropsch process is used to produce synthetic diesel.[10] This means that synthetic diesel oil may be one route to biomass based diesel oil. Such processes are often called Biomass-To-Liquids or BTL.

    Synthetic diesel may also be produced out of natural gas in the Gas-to-liquid (GTL) process or out of coal in the Coal-to-liquid (CTL) process. Such synthetic diesel has 30% less particulate emissions than conventional diesel (US- California). is used to produce synthetic diesel.[10] This means that synthetic diesel oil may be one route to biomass based diesel oil.

    this is a old process dating back to 1920s
    this was used by Germany during WW2 to create a large amount of there military fuel

Can Biofuel be made from yard and forest debris?

Instead of corn and soybean oil, we can use yard and forest debris. I have been driving through the Oregon highways and found tree debris as well as trees. We can allow cut down the trees and have them (or the Oregon State nonviolent prision population) clean up the debris so that the company can produce biofuel. Grass can be included. Why pay $116 per barrel of oil and increase our food prices because corn and soybean being diverted to make biofuel where we can use plant debris.
