Do you know about cellulosic ethanol?

Question

Cellulosic ethanol can fuel cars and heat homes and can be produced from plants and waste. Here is a web site complete with representative POWER to THE PEOPLE!!!This is the year to change what needs to be changed. We may not have another chance for eight years. So log onto Cleanmyride.org and help us change the way of the future. Clean Fuel No Gasoline.

Answer 1

For some reason people think that if they exchange one type of combustion for another, it is better for the environment. If you put that particular type of fuel in a car, the process of combustion will produce CO2, H2O, and Energy, JUST LIKE GASOLINE. That is a costly solution to a problem that does not exist in the first place. If liberals read the news, they would know this. The reason why gas prices are so high is because the US does not have enough oil refineries to meet demand. There is plenty of oil, but nothing to process it all with. No oil company is willing to build a new major refinery because in a decade or so, the United States is going to switch to Hydrogen (which does not use a combustion engine, thus does not produce CO2, but rather H2O, and Energy). There would not be enough time for that refinery to pay for itself. Interestingly, every company but Exon is investing in Hydrogen (I'm sorry to disappoint the liberals who assumed the oil companies would be negatively affected by this).

Answer 2

Isn't that the corn stalk ethanol? I heard it's a lot better, and it doesn't actually use up corn itself.

I think cellulosic ethanol means ethanol that originated from cellulose or used cellulose or something along those lines.

Answer 3

i do no longer understand lots with regard to the production of cellulosic ethanol myself. i'm besides the shown fact that concered with any thought that is composed of turning flowers into gas for our automobiles. Turning our corn into gas for automobiles sounds idiotic to me. do no longer we've ppl that are hungry interior the international? I observed a application that confirmed how companies may be able to gas our automobiles with timber. isn't deforestation already an excellent undertaking interior the international of ecology? utilizing recycled vegitable oil salvaged from resteraunt fryers to make biodiesel is an option i ought to appreciate as a ability of recycling the oil. i do no longer see that as a answer to the petrolium shortage and option gas undertaking however. i might somewhat see the automobile industry concentration greater on making the elecric automobile greater effectual. If shall we get all of our potential desires taken care of with a mix of wind and image voltaic technologies fueling our homes/automobiles we would be able to make the international a greater friendly environment for generations to come back.

Answer 4

hi, while i applaud your interest in alternative methods, on this issue i have to scream rape. rapeseed is the source of canola oil and biodiesel. i've left a wiki link, but it sounds more like an add, omitting several factors.

it costs a lot to refine, but then so do most things. my primary complaints are
a). rape is a very invasive plant, difficult to contain. added to this, rapeseed causes bloat in horses, and to a lesser degree in cows. while livestock may like it for it's high fat content, it can be deadly. EDIT (oops, carried away) this part does not address plants like corn, but imagine fuel companies genetically altering corn for their uses.
b). greed driven fuel companies have no consideration for ecology. imagine our food crops pushed out by fuel crops. starving people driving SUVs is not an answer.

henry ford should have been slapped, but who could have imagined the insanity of the following century as madison ave. pimped their products and americans fell in love with automobiles.

private operated cars should be outlawed (like that's going to happen). mass transport is really the only solution.

Answer 5

Still it must be trucked as it sheds water when you try to send it in a pipeline. Ethanol still emits the same amount of green house gasses as gasoline.

Answer 6

As far as I'm concerned it's just as environmentally unsound as petroleum. You need to use twice as much to get the same results as gasoline and it causes a large amount of pollution in it's manufactuting process.. We can't win!!!

Answer 7

There is no such thing as "cellulosic" ethanol--ethanol is ethanol, regardless of its source. It happens when bacteria (or other chemical processes) convert sugars into alcohols.

Answer 8

ill keep it in mind ,that if you disappear...i will blame it on the oil people.

Answer 9

Interesting, thank you...
