David M asked:
how much land is required to grow enough grain to produce one litre of bio-fuel… and can cars run purely on bio-fuel yet, and if not, WHY?
how much land is required to grow enough grain to produce one litre of bio-fuel… and can cars run purely on bio-fuel yet, and if not, WHY?
because fuel companies are making too much money the way it is now.
The best interest of the oil companies.
Only diesel engines can burn it and then have to be modified
Economically viable distribution system for biofuels are not in place.. The largest cost (next to taxes) for fuel is the system it’s self.
Localization of biofuels is happening at a snails pace because it is a cost and the cost benefit is not a recoverable cost as the price as the pump is dependent on demand.
As an aside biofuel distribution and oil based fuel distribution requires different methods of processing and storage..
The problem is not the land for production.. Even now e85 is 85% Ethanol.. Soy Diesel is produced but the real “problem” is local (gas station storage) or a totally new distribution system.
People can retro fit or dual fit automobiles with a good mechanic to handle both fuels, or purchase a dual fuel or E85, LPG or LNG vehicle, yet, the fact that the economic incentives to drive these alternatives are not there yet. It takes more money to produce and distribute them then it does gasoline, simple economics..
Currently it costs more and then at the same time people like their petro fuels. They still work and ppl won’t change until there isn’t any petro left. You also have to figure the price difference in the production of the fuels. TO make ethanol, more fuel is consumed than produced.

Think of all the cars out there and all the gas stations out there. It is hard to switch over night. Takes time.
But keep promoting man.. keep promoting. Something needs to be done.

Brasil tiene ahora la infraestructura y los automóviles a operar el 30 por ciento de su vechicles en etanol, un bio carburante fabricado a partir de la caña de azúcar, maíz, etc Brasil, por la mayoría de las normas, es un país relativamente pobre. La región central en los EE.UU. crece lotes de maíz. Los EE.UU. es el país más rico del mundo por la mayoría de las normas. Así que la respuesta a tu pregunta no es una tecnología o financiera respuesta. Quizás los políticos en este foro quisiera aprovechar una grieta a explicar por qué los EE.UU. sigue siendo dependiente del petróleo extranjero.
¿Qué es exactamente lo que usted piensa las ventajas de los biocarburantes son? Biocarburante es caro y genera enormes cantidades de CO2 de fuentes de energía en el camino. Simplemente porque tiene la palabra bio entonces todos los ambientalistas acerca de ello animar a ciegas. Despertar por ahí
Because oil out of the ground was so cheap…
Would you pay $6 for a biofuel when you could pay $3
for a petroleum based fuel ?
Of course you would not…
The biggest risk of biofuels is that vast tracts of already rapidly diminishing rainforest will be cleared to transport the.
An ecologicallysterile monoculture this would result in the warm wet tropics where life and land are.
i think car technology is way behind everything else.
