Bio Fuel, Bio Diesel and New Energy Information

Bio Clean Fuel By Alan Caruba

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.

Earth Bio Fuel (AXcess News) South Orange, NJ - I don't know how many years I have been hearing how great ethanol is as a gasoline additive. I mostly thought of it as a boon to farmers who raise corn and other crops that are converted into this form of alcohol. The energy bill, a mishmash of giveaways to all kinds of energy interests, mandated more use of ethanol and biodiesel. Then the President gave his State of the Union speech and talked about using woodchips and who knows what else to make it.

Your first few tanks of the new ethanol based gasoline, may loosen and remove contaminates into your fuel system.

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 Ethanol has some significant incentives going for it. It receives a 51-cent-a-gallon federal subsidy. Biodiesel gets a $1-a-gallon federal tax credit. Politicians love ethanol, particularly if they are from farm states, but some farmers are not as thrilled. In the February issue of Wheat Life, a magazine published by the Washington Association of Wheat Growers, the president of the Association of Washington Business, Don C. Brunell, had some words of caution.

(AXcess News) The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) said Friday that the U.S. ethanol industry set a new monthly production record of 302, 000 barrels per day ( d) in February, dispelling the myth of supply shortages, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). That equates to nearly 12.7 million gallons a day. February's production represents a 14, d increase over January and a 57, d increase from one year ago.

Brunell pointed out that the concept of biofuel has been around for more than a century, but "the idea faded because making gasoline from crude oil was cheaper and easier to refine."

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.

Make Bio Fuel Brunell is far from alone is raising a warning. In a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle noted, "Ethanol, touted as an alternative fuel of the future, may eat up more energy during its creation than it winds up giving back, according to research by a UC Berkeley scientist that raises questions about the nation's move toward its widespread use."

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties Geoengineering professor, Tad Patzek, was published in the journal, Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences. His view was that "up to six times more energy is used to make ethanol than the finished fuel actually contains." Patzek is cited as believing that "those who think using the 'green' fuel will reduce fossil fuel consumption are deluding themselvesand the federal government's practice of subsidizing ethanol by offering tax exemptions to oil refiners who buy it is a waste of money."

Fuel Cell Bio Prof. Patzek is not alone. A Cornell University ecologist, David Pimentel, came to a similar conclusion. "There is just no energy benefit to using plant biomass for liquid fuel. These strategies are not sustainable."

Bio Conversion Fuel Together with Patzek, the two conducted a detailed analysis of the energy input-yield ratios of producing ethanol from corn, switch grass, and wood biomass, as well as for producing biodiesel from soybean and sunflower plants. Their report was published in Natural Resources Research. Corn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced, switch grass requires 45 percent more, and wood biomass requires 57 percent more.

Green Energy Prof. Pimentel concluded that, "The United States desperately needs a liquid fuel replacement for oil in the near future, but producing ethanol or biodiesel from plant biomass is going down the wrong road." He noted that the government "spends more than $3 billion a year to subsidize ethanol production when it does not provide a net energy balance or gain, is not a renewable energy source or an economical fuel."

Bio Ethanol Fuel Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., on February 20, the chief economist for the U.S. Agriculture Department, Keith Collins, announced that the United States, the longtime number one corn exporter in the world, will soon distill more corn to make ethanol than it sells abroad. Does this make any sense at all?

Bio Clean Fuel According to the USDA, United States corn exports are projected to rise to 2.0 billion bushels in the 2006/07 marketing year, while ethanol production is forecast to consume 2.15 billion bushels. Despite those large numbers, corn-based ethanol is now used in only three percent of U.S. gasoline, while consuming fourteen percent of the nation's corn crop this marketing year.

Earth Bio Fuel The United States is the largest ethanol producer in the world, producing 4.3 billion gallons in 2005. According to the Renewable Fuels Association, production is expected to climb to 5.1 billion gallons this year and 6 billion by 2007.

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 The question is why? Why would the United States throw billions in tax subsidies at a gasoline additive that requires more energy to produce than the energy it generates?

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste On that basis alone, using petroleum-derivative fertilizers and fuel energy to produce ethanol is idiotic.

Make Bio Fuel Once again, environmental hype has triumphed over reality when it comes to addressing the problem of a finite amount of oil. Between being told that the Earth is running out of oil and being told that we are polluting whenever we drive our cars and trucks, ethanol seems like some kind of answer, but in terms of the energy it saves, the answer is none.

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties We are decades and maybe even centuries away from running out of oil. Known, as yet untapped reserves exist and technology to exploit them exists. It is far too soon to push the panic button, but not too soon to stop wasting money and energy producing a useless panacea.
