Thanks Christian for your url, very interesting
and go ahead with your batch, i find very interesting, to go beyond
the market and produce for yourself or for your friends.
soon the big oil companies, will try to take profit of bio fuels and
they will try to get the hall market and to kick

I think cords are a bad way to count wood, especially small trunk species
like coppiced willow -- cords work
fairly well for larger, straight logs, but the amount of air space you'd get
with coppiced willow makes the cord
totally unworkable. Weight is the only way to figure it, and in

Cords might be a trifle distracting. But energy content is not.
Hardwood forests yield between 0.5 and 1.5 tons per acre per year.
Coppiced willow yields between 5.0 and 8.0 tons per acre per year in a

The yield alone is +3 - 16 times greater than the tonnage of

Harmon,
Coppiced refers to the tri-annual cutting back (pruning if you will) of
willow. One year to first cut, where the pruned material is cold stored as
cloned stemstock. Two to three more years to first harvest maturity. An
approximate 22 year rotation, complete with 6-7 harvests before a

Right, but my question is why do they have to be replanted? Certainly
willows are much longer lived, in the
wild, just as are other tree/shrubs, even the smaller bushy ones. Is it a
matter of soil depletion? It just
seems a bit odd -- and that site says nothing about it. I'll have to look

I don't believe it's a matter of soil depletion.
Rather, the tree itself begins to produce lesser yields as a result of the
massive use that it has been put through.
Even privit (private?) hedges end up needing replacement on occasion.

We have a full range of Komet presses available, all of them are relatively

I have nothing against gm crops, per se, based on my limited knowledge. What
irks me is when the inventors of such crops go after innocent farmers,
when the gm stuff starts cross breading in the wild.

I ran across an interesting new application for glycerine. Do a web search
on biodegradable polyesters and you'll see what I mean. These novel
plastics are based on 1,3-propanediol condensed with succinic acid or
other dibasic acids. Guess where 1,3-propanediol comes from -- the

Steve,
It actually looks as if the ASTM interim standard permits some methanol in
biodiesel.
Don't know about D-6751 yet. No reason to believe at this point that it
wouldn't.
Damn near impossible to get 100% of it out cost effectively, even at scale.
