Comments on: How Green Are Biofuels? Comparison Chart [PIC] http://gas2.org/2008/05/08/how-green-are-biofuels-comparison-chart-pic/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

In this study, researchers evaluated two potential consequences of diverting usable land to biofuel production: either existing agricultural operations are intensified, or large areas of natural forest are cleared to increase cropland. Sound familiar? [...] [...] Producing cellulosic ethanol from non-food feedstocks has been studied extensively at a local scale, but it’s difficult to estimate the environmental impacts on larger, heterogeneous regions.

We do not irrigate soybeans here in Iowa, it is all rainfall. So no matter what is grown there, prairie grass, corn, beans, trees, watermelon it is all rainfall. No added water for growing. Most, probably 98% of all biodiesel production uses little if any water. Only garage units use a water wash. I take issue with the high reported of water for soybean/biodiesel.

The hydrocarbons in hemp can be processed into a wide range of biomass energy sources, from fuel pellets to liquid fuels and gas. Development of bio-fuels could significantly reduce our consumption of fossil fuels and nuclear power.

I know the current one needs to be replaced but one step at a time. if biodiesel was available to customers they could make a choice. only so many could be made for that reason. Second there are devoloping new ways to grow drops on vertical farms. its pretty interesting this could be one way to better support the food vs fuel consumption who ever said biodiesel’s would completely replace our current system.
