Ethanol Byproduct Shown to Improve Soil
Bio Clean Fuel by Don Comis
Yes, ULSD fuels have a lower BTU value and thus when burned in a diesel engine will result in less power. Cetane enhanced products can offset this power loss. Cetane is a high energy compound that makes the fuel burn more completely in the combustion chamber, resulting in more power, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy. Power Service diesel additives contain "+ Cetane Boost" to offset this power loss while also improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.

The earlier comment about bio fuels being an issue is correct. We are seeing it now that the price of corn has gone up dramatically..why. Ethanol production and the fact that those producing will pay higher price for corn than feedstock owners will. Guess what. your food prices will eventually skyrocket.! cattle, pork, chickens etc.
Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste Sept 25, 2004 (AXcess News) Morris MN - In the first study of its kind, an Agricultural Research Service scientist has shown that the byproduct of ethanol fermentation from corn stover can increase the structural stability and organic matter content of soil, particularly of highly eroded soil.
Taking AP Bio shows you can handle a demanding science class (we find that many history students are also good in biology, rather than physics or chemistry).
Make Bio Fuel "Stover" refers to the plant parts remaining in the field after harvesting corn. The corn stover ethanol byproduct has three times the concentration of nitrogen as the original cornstalks. It consists of stalk parts too tough for digesting by alcohol fermentation microbes and has a compost-like consistency, according to Jane Johnson, a soil scientist with the ARS North Central Soil Conservation Research Laboratory in Morris, Minn.Applying this byproduct to the land may partially offset the risks associated with harvesting crop biomass for conversion to biofuel. The main risks from harvesting the biomass are possibly increasing soil erosion, as well as depriving the soil of carbon and nutrients it might have derived from the biomass. Another consideration is the safety of applying the fermentation byproduct to farm fields.
Your first few tanks of the new ethanol based gasoline, may loosen and remove contaminates into your fuel system.

Some of the soil was very rich in organic matter, while some was highly eroded and low in organic matter. Johnson also added chopped cornstalks to some of each soil type and left some untouched, for comparison.
Fuel Cell Bio To verify the safety of applying the byproduct of stover fermentation to farm fields, Johnson is growing crops in soil treated with the byproduct, for analysis. Preliminary results have shown no adverse effect to corn or soybeans grown in the presence of the byproduct.AdvertisementThe U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) helped fund this study as part of a complete DOE life-cycle analysis of ethanol production from corn stover that includes comparing possible economical and environmentally sound uses for the byproduct. The work of Johnson and colleagues suggests one use may be as a soil treatment for eroded areas.
