Biofuels.
By Energy Saving Now in cooperation with Journey to Forever.
Additions, updates and adaptions to ESN by Hakan Falk.


Biomass can be processed and used as a liquid fuel for heating and in internal combustion engines either on their own or blended with petroleum. Therefore, they have the potential to change and/or enhance the supply and use of fuel in many parts of the world. Bio fuel have favourable characteristics, namely clean burning and high rated performance.

The very spectacular "Hydrogen Economy", mainly promoted by the US government, is not going to be ready for any general implementation until around year 2030. This time frame have a general consencus among the scientists and major parts of the Automotive Industry. The peak production and "depletion of oil reserves", will make it necessary to have access to alternative fuels long before 2030. The "Biofuel Economy" will be very important for both developed and developing countries and the only viable future development for the latter.


Biofuel Basics.
To give you the best information on the subject bio fuels, we linked up with Keith Addison and Midori Hiraga's web site "Journey to Forever". It is one of the most informative and popular web sites on the subject. You will learn how easy it is to make and use it. .....more.


More about Biofuels.
It is about development implementation, use and energy politics.

Volkswagen symposium unveils diesel strategies.
One week after the Tokyo Motor Show, with all the hybrids and fuel cell cars. In a diesel symposium, Volkswagen AG spelled it out with clarity. They have the alternative to the "fuel cell and hydrogen economy". .....more.

Plug-in HVAC Cogeneration.
Cogeneration is already big in the industrial sector and for larger facilities, it is however scalable and would fit in smaller home level systems. Multi source Cogeneration could be extremely interesting for home level systems and with available technologies it could compete well with the larger generation and distributing systems. .....more.

"The Grid".
The Electricity Grid ("The Grid") in a country is potentially one of the most important tools in building fossil energy independence and the use of alternative energy sources. "The Grid" connects and distribute to the consumers and anyone of them can also be a potential energy supplier, without any technical modifications. .....more.

Vehicles and taxation for biofuels in developing countries.
Road taxes or road tolls have a very long history that dates back to ancient times when you had to pay for entering towns and cities. It was also often used as a levy for safe passage and for "protection" through "dangerous" areas, controlled by the tax collectors. .....more.

Biofuel business in developing countries.
To implement and introduce biofuels in the market for a developing country should be both easier and give larger benefits than for a developed country. It is certain that any country's development is to the greatest extent dependent on the availability of energy resources. Without energy it is not possible to develop the country. This document is not only aimed at helping prospective biofuel producers, but does also include information and suggestions for leaders, politicians and governmental programs. Feel free to use it, if you need it. .....more

Yeast selection vs. investment levels for Ethanol production plants.
Ethanol is produced by yeasts and there are many strains with quite different attributes. For the lowest cost of the production, one has to select the best yeast for the purpose and design the production plant for it. With such design considerations, the capital costs can be reduced by around 45%. With significant production cost savings that results from reduced depreciation, lower maintenance costs, lower energy costs, lower treatment expenses, smaller plant size and lower labor costs. .....more

Open letter to Mr. Sam Kazman, CEI.
Concerning his apperance and promotion of SUV in the dicussion program Insight at CNN. Any experienced off road user of a fuel thirsty SUV, know how dangerous this vehicles can be on the road and in the hands of an unexperienced driver. .....more

Perspective on Oil Dependencies.
It does not take much knowledge in mathematics to understand that the equations in the demand and supply situation are impossible. It is no relief for the world and it is no escape from the dependence of Middle East oil reserves. US who is taking around a quarter of all current oil production, or half of the industrialized countries use of oil, is already at a difficult junction. .....more

Structures of a biofuel business.
Renewable Energies are already big business in some fields and are destined to be huge. The traditional fossil-fuel markets are markets with a few producers and a huge client base. A few companies which financed the prospecting and the large investments required in production/distribution facilities dominate. It is however not difficult to see that fossil fuels will be subject to severe price increases during the next two decades, leading to more energy crises. The pressures for replacement fuels and improved energy efficiency will be tremendous. The biofuel market is quite different from the markets mentioned above. It will always be dependent on many small producers of the raw material and have to distribute to the same huge client base as fossil fuels. .....more

Join the Biofuel discussion mail list
