Re: [Biofuel] How many trees were killed to build your home ?
Ms. Nancy Canning We are interested in how one builds a house with recycled tires, dirt and stucco. where can I find a website showing this? \ thanks. - Original Message - From: Nancy Canning To: Biofuel@sustainablelists.org Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2005 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] How many trees were killed to build your home ? what about recycled tires. filled with dirt, then covered with stucco.

RE: [Biofuel] Biofuel as a rural community development project in Mozambique
Dear Armando, Hakan, Chris, Mel, and everyone else, Thanks for the responses received to my question. I make two tentative conclusions: (a) It seems biodiesel is probably more attractive than bioethanol, as far as local production for poverty reduction is concerned. (b) It seems that the local rural market may be much larger than I initially thought, since, if the price is right, biodiesel can also be used as an alternative for fuel in the home (cooking, lighting). Any more contributions gratefully accepted! In particular, what is the "best" feedstock for Mozambique? Coconut/copra, sunflower, oil-rich algae, oil palm, jatropha? I suppose it partly depends on whether we are talking about coastal or inland areas. In the meantime, here are a couple of biodiesel initiatives I have found on the Internet which seem to go along the same lines I was thinking of: - A non-profit pilot run by the Kluyver Centre with Dutch school students, on algae in Mozambique (see http://www.kluyvercentre.nl/content/documents/Projectdescriptionwebsite.pdf) - A World Bank-sponsored pilot by CTx Green and Gram Vikas in India (see the WB Development Marketplace at http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/OPPORTUNITIES/GRANTS/DEVMARKETPLACE /0,,contentMDK:20214658~menuPK:214469~pagePK:180691~piPK:174492~theSitePK:20 5098,00.html) In addition, I have seen that there is a start-up commercial venture based around jatropha in Mozambique and South Africa (see http://www.deulco.co.za/). Any further information on these and other relevant projects would be very useful. Alexis -Original message by Armando- With the current oil prices I am sure many things can be done in rural communities in Mozambique in the area of biofuels. I would leave fuel ethanol for the sugar cane factories to produce. It can be mixed up to 10% in gasoline as the Malawians are doing, apparently. The rural poor buy kerosene (and sometimes gasoil) for illumination at very high prices, above USD1000,00 per cubic metre in many remote areas, were vegetable oil (coconut oil for instance) could be used. This would be a very small-scale project, but the local alternative price of the raw material should be investigated. I have done some calculations on coconut oil and found out that the raw material (copra) is the most important single cost in the production of oil. The vegetable oil could also be used in diesel engines running the small-scale mills scattered around the rural communities. -Original message by Alexis- I am toying with the idea of trying to set up a pilot rural community development project involving biofuel (bioethanol or biodiesel or SVO, whichever is most appropriate) in Mozambique. I am hoping that you can give me your opinion and advice on the technical feasibility, commercial viability and ultimately, long-term sustainability, in a poor isolated African rural setting, of small-scale, community-based, locally-run biofuel production. If anyone has had experience of a similar project, I would be extremely interested to have information about that.
