Wed, 12 Nov 2008 07:06:24 +0000 http://chemicallygreen.com/biodiesel-being-made-from-tree-nutswhat-you-say/#comment-11311 [...] A recent post on Chemically Green “The Truth About Jatropha Curcas” lists the pros and cons for growing Jatropha Curcas. India, which has researched extensively in growing Jatropha, has been investing heavily in Jatropha Curcas for biofuel production for their own automobile transportation. Early reports on Jatropha Curcas stated this bush could be grown on marginal land and little irrigation and this has not proven to be factual. Check out: “Biodiesel Being Made from Tree Nuts”.

Yes, old beer can be made into ethanol Also, left over alcoholic drinks, even with soda can be converted to ethanol. Just need sugar content of 12% or higher to recycle into ethanol for fuel. even if you mix the drinks and beer, no problem. Old liquor and spent liquor is being used in whiskey plants for making steam to heat distillation operations. Garbage in landfills, including stale beer, is being converted into ethanol. The processes will eventually be used all over the country and this is progress for biofuels which gets rid of the garbage waste resulting in a sustainable fuel. Remember the tomato scare earlier this summer? Every pound of tomatoes that was destroyed, because the government thought was contaminated with salmonella bacteria, could have been converted into ethanol. This should have been done. Check out about the tomatoes that was destroyed from previous post on Chemically Green http://chemicallygreen.com/salmonella-jalapeno-peppers/ @Pete: Thanks for your comments.

No joke. Expired beer is tossed in landfills every day. Seems like there should be some sort of process to extract the alcohol out and turn it into fuel.......

Right now, several farms are using 10 acre plots to grow Jatropha Curcas. @Karlton Stone: Thank you for your comments. Right now, several farms are using 10 acre plots to grow Jatropha Curcas.

I agree with you. The biofuels will have to be developed over a period of time and be cost efficient. Am seeing some of this with the Kudzunol process, ethanol from Kudzu. Also, I found this article that appeared in a Hawaiian Newspaper: http://starbulletin.com/2007/07/22/news/story03.html Oil will be around for a long time, but biofuels made from local feedstocks will eventually supply local communities. This has to and will happen all over the U.S. @Tom from Keaau: Thanks for your comments. I agree with you. The biofuels will have to be developed over a period of time and be cost efficient.

I believe that biodiesal and these alternatives are healthy industries that should be developed, and if biodiesal can be produced for 45 dollars a barrel without a high energy cost, that is a huge bonus. Hawaii is another place that could grow this plant. Palm oil grows here as well.... What I'd be interested in, is how much can you really produce of this stuff and is it efficient? Aloha, Tom What makes you think Global Warming is even real, that we can control it, if it is, or that we’ll anytime soon be off of oil.

We agree, its time we get the biomass bandwagon rolling to say goodbye to our oil addiction. Only when the citizens who want to see the U.S. break the chains of oil addiction and get behind the renewable biofuels will this happen. Say NO TO Corn Ethanol. @Todd: Thanks for your comments.
