[biofuels-biz] Re: tanks

There are things like polymer wrapped tanks etc. But I guess this falls on the same topic we've had for the past week: safety of tanks In mass terms, the gasses look good, but their low density means they need large high strength (heavy) fuel tanks.

[biofuels-biz] Re: tanks

polymer wrapped tanks... Agreed, I was trying to be concise. Anyway LPG is exclusively fossil and for all practical purposes so is methane. I assume that biogas could be scrubbed to remove the CO2 but if it's used on site to generate power and heat this's not really necessary. Road transport

Re: [biofuels-biz] air car, reclaiming some energy?

Clever, and it should work, albeit at very low efficiency - typically 10% or less. One advantage is that your Peltier devices can be the cheap, low-temp variety. You'll probably be able to use the scheme for auxiliary power - accessories. Doubt you'll recover enough useful energy for propulsion,

[biofuels-biz] Re:A new question?

Thanks for the responses to my question. I should have asked whether anyone has used cooking oil to make a gas substitute. I suppose the problem is breaking down the molecules even further than with biodiesel. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? Thanks.
