Bio mass fuel

His numbers sound grossly optimistic but I'd have to do some research to verify my gut. The process is essentially converting sunlight into biomass and processing the biomass. No problem there. The limiting factor is the total amount of sunlight. I don't think the total sunlight hitting 1/10 of New Mexico has enough energy to do what he says, even if the processes are 100% efficient at converting that light into fuel...and 50% efficiency would he a huge breakthrough.

Still, it is a good process and very water efficient by design...remarkable in and of itself.
 
Interesting idea, I personally think that corn fuel is a dumb idea, this sounds a little better.
 
At least this would stop the use of food for fuel. I have to say that I doubt this will work at the level they say it will, but it sure would be great if it did. It would be nice to tell the middle east EAT S__T.
 
It does sound good, actually is sounds to good to be true. Which to me means it probaly is. But I would sure love to hear more about it.
 
There are many ways. Geothermal, solar, wind, tidal... ways of generating electricty and heat. This is by far the best solution I've seen from ridding ourselves from the dependence on fossil fuel.


There are four people in a team.

Their names are Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done.

Although Anybody could have done it, Everybody was asked to do it, but eventually Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because the job had been given to Everybody.

Everybody knew that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.


Sustainability. It's like perpetual motion.

My partner, son and I are going for it.

Scott.

Click to expand...

I read that the total amount of sunlight hitting the earth's surface in one day matches the entire energy requirements for the planet for one year.

Now consider that you could fit about 1.3 million earths in the volume of the sun, and that the sun is about 93 million miles from the earth. We are really crappy at converting the solar energy hitting the earth to a usable form for our technology.
