Hi Tim and All,
Several things jump out to me.
You seem to expect 1 crop per year while most
areas other than Canada will support 3 to 4 crops per
year.
Methanol cost well under $1 per gal in industral
quanities.
Methanol increases the amount of biodiesel by
maybe 1/2 the methanol quanity adding value. Anyone
care to comment on this?
Syntroleum(sp?) Corp process, making a diesel
like fuel from syn gas has about 90% of the energy of
diesel rather than 40% like you say by some other
process?
These points greatly increase the cost
effectiveness of hemp as a biofuel.
Thanks for the good work,
jerry dycus
