[Biofuel] What ever happened to sweet catalyst?

Some months ago, there was a real buzz about a new catalyst made from pyrolized sugar. Several people here on the list said they were conducting their own tests and experiments. And then..nothing. Did it work? Has anyone on the list actually had hands on success

Tom,I originally used stir washing but I had problems with emulsification. Because my test batches were so small, it wasn't too much trouble to just bubble wash them. The product turned out great with zero emulsification. When I move to larger batches I will stir wash to save time. WillOn 6/28/06,

One other thing to think about is that when you pump oil out of the ground, something has to go back in the ground to replace it to keep a big sink hole from happening. (Just imagine Saudi Arabia and Texas turning into a huge sink hole because of all the oil pump out of them.) It use to be that

Let's not be too hasty to condemn. While the CO2 problem will continue, it is a step in the right direction to reduce other pollutants that cause acid rain, also coal fired plants are the primary source of mercury pollution. Coal provides 50% of the electricity in the US so reduction of CO2 isn't
