 Yep, it was me. Somehow I came up with 65 mpg, not 78.
 Oops. Sorry. Still not available in the US As far as I can tell.


 Lets try again.  

 one US gallon = 3.785 liters 
 -or- 3 litres = 0.7926 US gallon 
 one kilometre = 0.6214 (statute) miles 

   100 km x 0.6214 miles/km equals 62.14 miles 
   divide by 0.7926 US gallon equals 
   78.4 miles/US gallon 

 235.2/3 = 78.4 miles/US gallon. 
 I like the one below, too. 

   pg. 46  (To convert between 
   miles per U.S. gallon [mpg] and L/100 km, 
   divide 235.2 by the other.)

[Biofuel] US California Ethanol

2004-09-30 Thread MH

 ETHANOL As a Transportation Fuel In California 
 http://www.energy.ca.gov/ethanol/index.html 

 As of January 1, 2004, California completed a transition from
 methyl tertiary butyl-ether (MTBE) to ethanol as a gasoline
 oxygenate additive. With most gasoline sold in the state
 presently containing 5.7 percent ethanol, California is
 now the largest ethanol fuel market in the United States.
 About one billion gallons of ethanol are expected to be
 used in the state's gasoline supply in 2004. 

 The Energy Commission continues to study the potential for
 ethanol fuel production and use as part of California's
 overall strategy to assure adequate transportation energy
 supplies and reduce dependence on petroleum. In addition to
 its use as a gasoline blending component, ethanol can also
 be used as E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) in flexible fuel
 vehicles being produced by automakers. 

 Most of California's current ethanol supply comes from the
 Midwest U.S. corn-based industry, with a small supply
 contribution from foreign imports. There are only two
 small producers of ethanol in California today; however,
 a number of projects for expanded in state ethanol
 production are under consideration.   [more]

Don't suppose you ever thought of doing the work yourself, did ya'?

You've got free how to info out the yazoo. You've got schematics and
footprints and the gods know what else all for zero cost. And after that
feast of pablam you're still looking for a wet nurse?

What? Can't be bothered by little inconveniences like applying all the

Re: [Biofuel] Solar Hydrogen

2004-09-30 Thread M.P.Singh

Everyone seems to be poor in maths, let me give it a try
If what you say is correct i.e.
100 km = 62 miles
3.78 liters is .79 gallons
Then 1 mile = 1.61 km
and 1gallon =  4.78 litres
therefore, 100km/3litres will be 33.33 km/litre
which is 20.70 miles/ litre
which further means 98.95 miles/gallon
So if the conversion provided by you is correct, then 100 km/3L and 100 mpg
are nearly comparable

RE: [Biofuel] Business Plan

2004-09-30 Thread Peggy

Hi Joe,

Business plans are built uniquely for each situation.  If you need a
loan then that plan is different than if you are looking for investors.
Forming a coop is entirely different from either of the other two.  Some
grants are so comprehensive that it could take months to complete all
the required criteria.  You have to include your feed stock source, your
local commitments from taxing authorities, and a whole lot more.  One
thing you could do would be to just start an outline.  That outline
could be from a standard business school format, which may not be
practical for your purposes.  We help our associates with their plans
when they make a commitment to use our processing plants.  Hope this
helps,

[Biofuel] Cheap oil

2004-09-30 Thread Ross Cannon

Global Capitalism and the end of Cheap Oil
 
I just encountered two articles at my library that strengthens my
belief that we are beginning to see the end of cheap oil NOW from how
we've always known it.  We won't have to wait 10 years.  One was an
article by T. Boone Pickens, the Texas oil mogol.  The other was an
article in the Kipplinger Newsletter, a newsletter printed monthly for
the business world.
 
The article in Kipplinger says that oil is skyrocketing for a number
of reasons, including the political destabilization of oil producing
regions throughout the world. (Remember Bush's argument that our
invasion of Iraq would help secure the Iraqi oil fields?  Well, the
terrorists are now targeting the oil industry as a strategy to cripple
our economy -- starting with Iraq.)   Another BIG factor is the
booming economic growth now taking place in India and China. 
Especially the booming manufacturing capability of China. 
 
Not only is oil affected (it's being bought up as fast as it is being
pumped -- OPEC seems unable to make up the difference anymore), but
valuable other irreplaceable resources are being sucked up by these
nations -- for example, American scrap iron.  
 
Add to that the fact that the international transport infrastructure
(trains, planes, ships, etc) is now being taxed to the hilt due to a
soaring amount of imports and exports (also reported by Kissinger) and
put it together, we see a significant impact on our economy.  
 
Pickens view is that unless things change, all nations -- attempting
to copy the American economic model of the past -- will be competing
with each other for fewer and fewer oil reserves.  He sees $50 to $100
per barrel oil becoming the norm, for example.  I see the same thing
for items like bauxite, iron ore, and such -- essential raw materials
required in the manufacturing process. 
 
Thus simple living will become an economic necessity as things balance
out throughout the world,  At the same time developing nations become
more like the U.S., we no doubt will become more like them -- MY
words.  But this is not such a bad thing.  As I have said before here,
that hardly means that we'll be living in grass huts.  More like it,
we will be living much like we did in the Forties, Fifties or maybe
the Sixties, my guess. Ross Cannon
   
 0oo00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o00o0o0o0o0o0
The Equinox is here again, marking a brief time of balance on this
plane of existence.  We feel the passage of time with the colors of 
fall, spring for our friends to the south. We feel an intuitive need to 
pause and to reflect on where we are in our life's journey.

[Biofuel] US DOE examines long-term oil supply scenarios

2004-09-30 Thread Keith Addison

US DOE examines long-term oil supply scenarios

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the US Department of 
Energy (DOE) has released a study that examined long-term supply 
scenarios for world petroleum. Under the most likely scenario-- 
assuming a 2% annual growth rate for world's oil demand and the mean 
value for the amount of oil reserves--the study predicts that 
petroleum production will reach its peak in 2037.


The study is a re-release of an oil supply prognosis originally 
published in July 2000, prompted in part by the increasing fuel 
prices in the USA. There has been no new information or developments 
that would significantly alter the year 2000 results, stated the EIA. 
The study is based on estimates of world's oil resources by the US 
Geological Survey. The EIA estimated that the world's growth in oil 
demand will be 1.9% through 2025.


The critical event in world oil production will be when it reaches 
its peak. The following decline in oil production would leave some 
oil demand unsatisfied, likely leading to significant price 
increases. The date of the peak depends on the rate of demand growth 
and assumed reserves. Twelve scenarios were examined in the study, 
for different oil demand growth rate (0-3%) and different oil 
reserves. The potential dates for the peak oil production ranged from 
2021 to 2112.


Only conventionally reservoired crude oil reserves were analyzed in 
the study. Additional petroleum supply is expected from 
unconventional sources. Commercial production has already started 
from such sources as the Canadian tar sands and Venezuelan heavy oils.


While the EIA analysis is less alarming than some other reports, its 
authors noted that the results do not justify complacency about both 
supply- and demand-side research and development.


The EIA also prepares short-term energy outlook reports, published 
monthly. In the most recent September issue, the EIA revised the 
projected world oil demand growth for 2004 to 3.2% (from a previous 
prediction of 2.5%) above the 2003 demand. Strong demand from China 
accounts for much of the upward revision. Global oil demand growth in 
2005 is expected to slow down to 2.4% due to the increased oil prices.

[Biofuel] US DOE estimates future potential of hybrid and diesel cars

2004-09-30 Thread Keith Addison


September 2004
http://www.dieselnet.com/

US DOE estimates future potential of hybrid and diesel cars

The DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory released a report titled 
Future Potential of Hybrid and Diesel Powertrains in the US Light- 
Duty Vehicle Market, which forecasts a growth of 4-7% in light-duty 
diesel vehicles in the USA by 2012.


Diesel and hybrid technologies each have the potential to increase 
light-duty vehicle fuel economy by a third or more without loss of 
performance, yet these technologies have typically been excluded from 
technical assessments of fuel economy potential on the grounds that 
hybrids are too expensive and diesels cannot meet Tier 2 emissions 
standards. Recently, hybrid costs have come down and the few hybrid 
makes available are selling well. Diesels have made great strides in 
reducing particulate and nitrogen oxide emissions, and are likely 
though not certain to meet future standards, concluded the authors 
of the report.


The study predicts that by 2008 hybrids could capture 4-7% and 
diesels 2-4% of the light-duty market. These shares could increase to 
10-15% for hybrids and 4-7% for diesels by 2012. The resulting 
impacts on fleet average fuel economy would be about +2% in 2008 and 
+4% in 2012.


Authors of the study also noted that if diesels and hybrids were 
widely available across vehicle classes, makes, and models, they 
could capture 40% or more of the light-duty vehicle market. Current 
penetration of diesels amounts to about 0.2% of the US light-duty 
vehicle market.


Diesel technology accounts for over 40% of the new vehicle market in 
Europe. The increasing diesel market is driven by good performance of 
modern diesel engines, superior fuel economy, and--from the 
regulatory standpoint--reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The 
major obstacle preventing diesels from wider entry into the US market 
are the stringent NOx emission limits in the federal Tier 2 and 
California LEV II emission standards. For new passenger cars and 
light light-duty trucks (LDT), Tier 2 standards phase-in beginning in 
2004, with full implementation by 2007. For heavy LDTs and 
medium-duty passenger vehicles (MDPV), the Tier 2 standards will be 
phased in beginning in 2008, with full compliance in 2009.


The study forecast that diesel engines should be able to meet Tier 2 
emission standards. The added cost of emission control systems, 
however, would make the cost penalty in diesels comparable to that in 
hybrid vehicles.

[Biofuel] Conference Report: DEER 2004

2004-09-30 Thread Keith Addison


September 2004
http://www.dieselnet.com/

Conference Report: DEER 2004

The 10th Diesel Engine Emissions Reduction Conference (DEER) 
organized by the office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy 
(EERE) of the US DOE was held from August 29 to September 2 in San 
Diego, CA. This years' conference--chaired, as before, by John 
Fairbanks--attracted a record attendance of over 500 delegates who 
discussed a number of diesel engine related topics including energy 
efficiency and climate change, clean diesel combustion, 
aftertreatment technologies, emission measurement, as well as health 
and environmental impact of emissions.


The opening plenary session focused on government policies on energy 
efficiency and emissions. Reducing oil consumption and the dependence 
on foreign oil becomes increasingly more important, as the USA--which 
consumes 25% of the world's oil production with only 5% of the 
world's population--imports 63% of its crude oil (E. Wall, DOE). The 
main research directions to achieve that goal include new, advanced 
combustion regimes, new fuels, and engine waste heat recovery. The 
DOE has been also recognizing the potential of diesels to bring an 
energy efficiency improvement. California authorities on the other 
hand--not only the ARB, but also the California Energy Commission 
(CEC)--were not overly enthusiastic about the increased diesel 
population (J. Boyd, CEC). While a gradual increase in light-duty 
diesel penetration is anticipated, the prospects in the USA are still 
uncertain. The short-term outlook depends on whether the 
manufacturers are able to meet the stringent Tier 2 and California 
LEV II NOx emission standards.


Fuel cells might become a future light-duty vehicle technology in the 
long term, on the order of 50 years (J. Heywood, MIT). In the mid- 
term, we will continue to rely on a mix of internal combustion engine 
technologies, gasoline and diesel, as well as hybrids. Evolution of 
the mainstream technologies (better engines, transmissions, light 
weight materials, ...) can bring a fuel consumption reduction of some 
35% in the next 20 years.


In the fuels session, several presentations dealt with Gas-to-Liquids 
(GTL) fuels. GTL technologies allow to manufacture diesel and other 
designer fuels from natural gas, coal, or biomass. The coming large 
scale GTL projects focus on utilization of stranded (i.e., not 
accessible by pipelines) natural gas resources; in Qatar alone, 
contracts have been signed for a total 610,000 bpd of GTL products, 
coming on stream by 2011. It is estimated that by 2020 the quantity 
of available GTL diesel will be equal to 29% of the EU 2000 diesel 
demand (R. Maly, DaimlerChrysler). GTL diesel improves performance 
and emissions in conventional diesel engines, and can bring even 
higher benefit in engines specifically calibrated for that fuel.


While the GLT prospects in North America are limited by the lack of 
available low-cost natural gas resources, the use of another 
alternative fuel--biodiesel--has been steadily increasing. A US 
biodiesel quality survey found that 85% of the samples met the ASTM 
specification for biodiesel blending stock, as compared to about 95% 
for petrodiesel (R. McCormick, NREL). Taking into account that the 
market is still in its initial period, the biodiesel quality can be 
considered quite satisfactory. The US biodiesel resources by 2015 are 
now estimated to be about 10% of the current onroad diesel market.


Very interesting papers were presented on the progress in new 
combustion concepts (showing that challenging diesel emission 
standards can in fact stimulate research leading to better and more 
efficient engines). Two main directions of research exist, which 
reflect the existing split in the HD diesel engine technology: (1) 
homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), some elements of 
which may be already present in the Caterpillar ACERT engines, and 
(2) massive EGR engine, having as its starting point the existing 
EGR technology. Both concepts have the potential to produce 
dramatically lower NOx emissions, perhaps even eliminating the need 
for NOx aftertreatment to meet the US 2010 standards or the Tier 2 
light-duty NOx limits, without sacrificing engine efficiency and fuel 
economy. Considering the regulatory deadlines, however, it is more 
likely that the new concepts will be only partly implemented (e.g., 
only over a certain area of the engine map) by 2010. From the 
hardware point of view, both concepts also require very high boost 
ratio, likely to be delivered using two-stage turbochargers.


Caterpillar reported achieving 100% load HCCI operation under steady- 
state conditions in a single cylinder engine (K. Duffy). While 
challenges remain to maintain HCCI operation in multi-cylinder 
engines, under transient conditions, and in real life applications, 
this is a significant milestone in HCCI development (engine control 
at high loads is the single biggest

Chrysler launches diesel Jeep, allows B5 biodiesel blends

DaimlerChrysler announced that each new 2005 Jeep Liberty sport- 
utility vehicle rolling off the assembly line will be fueled with 5% 
biodiesel blend (B5). The first Liberty diesel will be produced in 
November in the Jeep Liberty plant in Toledo, OH.


The Jeep Liberty diesel, the first diesel-powered mid-size SUV to be 
offered in the USA, will be powered with a 2.8-liter 4-cylinder 
Common Rail Diesel (CRD) engine. The acceleration of the 4-cylinder 
CRD diesel vehicle is comparable to that of a V6 gasoline engine, and 
the torque output to that of a gasoline V8. The Liberty CRD diesel 
will achieve 22 mpg (10.7 l/100 km) city and 27 mpg (8.7 l/100 km) 
highway, overall approximately 30% better than Liberty's comparable 
3.7-liter V-6 gasoline engine.


In addition to the reduction in fuel consumption, the diesel engine 
also brings a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with 
gasoline engines, said DaimlerChrysler.


Biodiesel fuel, manufactured in the USA mostly from soy beans, is a 
renewable fuel which brings substantial reductions in the life cycle 
greenhouse gas emissions (most of carbon dioxide released when the 
fuel is burned is matched by the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 
soy plants during growth). In addition, biodiesel produces certain 
emission reductions of PM, HC and CO.


DaimlerChrysler said its Dodge Ram diesel pickup trucks have run 
successfully on B20 (20% biodiesel) blends in fleets required to use 
alternative fuels by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT). However, 
due to lack of biodiesel fuel standards to guarantee consistent 
quality of B20 fuels, DaimlerChrysler recommends its diesel vehicles 
be run on a biodiesel blend of maximum 5% (B5). This recommendation 
is also consistent with the common position by fuel injection 
equipment manufacturers on the use of biodiesel in diesel engines.


The CRD engine does not meet the LEV II emission standards that 
became effective this year in California. As a result, the Liberty 
diesel will not be available in California or in other states that 
adopted California emission standards (Massachusetts, Maine, New 
York, Vermont).

  Tourer car concept: the European version of the Vision R Grand
  Sports Tourer and the new Vision B Compact Sports Tourer. The idea
  of the Sports Tourer, first presented by Mercedes in 2002, has been
  designed to create a new vehicle category through a combination of
  conventional vehicle concepts such as sporty saloon, estate, minivan
  and the SUV.

  The Vision R large Sports Tourer is a luxury 4+2 seater featuring
  four-wheel drive, air suspension, the 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic
  transmission, and a new V6 diesel engine, which delivers 160 kW (218
  hp) of power and 510 Nm of torque. The vehicle consumes less than 9
  l/100 km. It meets the Euro 4 emission standards and it fitted with
  a catalytic diesel particulate filter.

  The new compact Vision B Sports Tourer is powered by a 4-cylinder
  diesel engine producing 103 kW (140 hp) and 300 Nm. The fuel
  consumption is below 6 l/100 km. The Vision B is a Euro 4 vehicle,
  equipped with a diesel particulate filter.

  Toyota presented in Paris the D-4D 180 Clean Power concept car,
  featuring the latest version of the Toyota D-CAT system, which
  includes the DPNR (Diesel Particulate NOx Reduction) NOx adsorber-
  particulate filter system. The D-4D 180 Clean Power also features a
  new D-4D engine with piezoelectric common-rail fuel injection
  system, scheduled to go into production in 2005. The new D-4D is in
  the 1.9 to 2.2 liter category, and develops around 130 kW (180 hp)
  of power output and an impressive maximum torque of 400 Nm.

  The first car fitted with the DPNR system was the Toyota Avensis D-
  CAT, witch had a limited commercial launch at the end of 2003. The
  Avensis, with PM at 0.002 g/km and NOx at 0.12 g/km, was advertised
  as having the world's lowest combined NOx and PM emissions. The new
  Clean Power concept is a result of continuing development work to
  further improve emissions and emission durability, while minimizing
  or eliminating the performance and fuel economy penalties associated
  with operating the NOx adsorber system.

[Biofuel] Hybrid powertrains for urban buses

Hybrid powertrains for urban buses

Diesel-electric powertrains were introduced for urban transit buses 
in 1998 in New York City. Those first hybrid buses featured the 
series hybrid system developed by Lockheed Martin Control Systems 
(currently BAE Systems). Despite the potential advantages of hybrid 
powertrains in urban transit--such as improved fuel economy in the 
stop-and-go traffic, low emissions, or lower maintenance 
costs--transit agencies have been slow in adopting the new 
technology. More suppliers and higher production volumes are needed 
to drive down the high prices of hybrid buses--still one of the main 
obstacles in their wider adoption. The parallel hybrid system from 
GM's Allison Transmission became one of the major market players, 
with a recent order for 235 buses from Seattle (see DieselNet Update 
- June 2004) and several orders from other cities in the USA and 
Canada. Other suppliers are also emerging in North America and in 
Europe.


+ EST completes Epack hybrid bus demonstration project

  The UK's Energy Saving Trust (EST) has completed its first diesel-
  electric hybrid bus demonstration project. The bus was equipped with
  an Epack hybrid system--a retrofit diesel electric hybrid power pack
  manufactured by British firm ENECO. The project was grant-aided with
  £272,000 from the EST's New Vehicle Technology Fund.

  The Epack powered Optare Solo Bus demonstrated reductions in
  emissions (PM by 39%, NOx by 37.9%) over an equivalent conventional
  Euro III diesel bus, and fuel savings of 33%. The latter figure
  placed the bus well within the low carbon targets as planned for
  buses by the UK's Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership.

  The Epack hybrid system uses lead-acid batteries and a 1.9 liter VW
  diesel generator to replace a 5.7 liter diesel in an otherwise
  standard Optare Solo midi bus. The system uses the diesel to charge
  the battery pack and then an electric motor to drive the bus.
  Regenerative braking also contributes to overall efficiency. The
  vehicle weighs some 550 kg more than a diesel-powered standard bus.

France to request bids for biofuels production units

French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin plans to launch bids 
before Spring 2005 for construction of four 200,000-tonne biofuels 
production units to be built by 2007, reports the Oil  Gas Journal. 
The four units--expected to cost 8 million euros--would increase 
France's annual biofuels production capacity to over 1 billion tons.


The biofuels plan would decrease CO2 emissions by 3 million tons by 
2007 and reduce France's energy dependence. Production costs, while 
much higher than those of petroleum fuels, would be less than 1 
centime of a euro/liter.


Eight existing facilities currently produce diester, a mix of 30% 
rapeseed or sunflower oil-based biodiesel and 7O% petrodiesel.

based on a licensing agreement between Suzuki and FIAT AUTO S.p.A. in 
Italy and Adam Opel AG in Germany.


Suzuki already has a market presence in India through majority-owned 
Maruti Udyog, India's major car maker. Maruti Udyog and Suzuki also 
announced plans for Suzuki's second car assembly plant, also located 
in Manesar, the city of the new engine plant. The car plant will have 
a capacity of 250,000 vehicles per year, with production starting in 
2007.

[Biofuel] TTC launching biodiesel test

2004-09-30 Thread Keith Addison


September 2004
http://www.dieselnet.com/


TTC launching biodiesel test

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has launched a 9-month biodiesel 
test on 180 urban buses. The project will determine the impact of 
using biodiesel blends on the maintenance and driving of the buses, 
as well as on emissions, to consider expanded use of bio- diesel 
across the entire bus fleet.


Since 2002, B20 biodiesel blends have been used in Brampton, a city 
in the Greater Toronto Area, in all (137) Brampton Transit buses and 
in 200 of the city fleet vehicles. The biodiesel has been supplied by 
Toronto-based Big K Fuels.


The TTC has a bus fleet of about 1,500. The nine-month test on 180 
buses will cost $740,000 (CAD).

[Biofuel] Biodiesel test with Peugeot cars completed in Brazil

2004-09-30 Thread Keith Addison


September 2004
http://www.dieselnet.com/


Biodiesel test with Peugeot cars completed in Brazil

A biodiesel study with two PSA Group vehicles--a Peugeot 206 with a 
1.9 liter diesel engine and a Citroen Xsara Picasso with a 2.0 liter 
HDI engine--has been completed in Brazil. Both vehicles were driven 
more than 100,000 kilometers on B30 soy ethyl ester biodiesel blend 
(30% biodiesel, 70% petrodiesel). It was concluded that the cars 
maintained the normal level of performance while operated using 
biodiesel.


The validation study, carried out by the University of Sao Paulo 
Laboratory for the Development of Clean Technologies (LADETEL) in 
association with Peugeot Citroen, began in September 2003.


The biodiesel was an ethyl (rather than methyl) ester of soybean oil. 
The use of ethanol in place of methanol in biodiesel production is 
preferred in Brazil, a country with abundant bio-ethanol resources.

Reply: [Biofuel] Business Plan

2004-09-30 Thread Phillip Wolfe

Joe - I helped a large biodiesel company with finding
site location of biodiesel fueling terminal in San
Joaquin Valley of California.  Majority of regulations
and similar information you need is public domain. 
Some public government organizations will assist you.
Depends on your area.

As Peggy said, it depends on what you want to do. Sell
direct to end-users?  Act as a distributor?
Wholesaler?  In our case, the plan was to simply ship
the biodiesel by railcar from Eastern United States to
San Joaquin Valley, California.  Typically the
biodiesel is premixed and comes in those big
cylindrical tanker cars.  We looked for an industrial
type area with a rail spur with access to heat. Why
heat? Because commercial biodiesel has a certain wax
point and coagulates when it reaches a certain
temperature. So for large commercial volumeso you need
to keep in warm if standing still in one place and
exposed to cool temperatures.   

The challenge in the San Joaquin Valley is ground
level ozone and therefore biodiesel has to be
combined with tailpipe filters and sparkplug
combustion effieciency changes.

Good luck to you.

Re: [Biofuel] running biodiesel in gas engines

Gregg, I have a question to ask you about your FFV TC minivan.  I have read 
that these are designed to run any blend of gasoline and ethanol, up to 85% 
ethanol.  Why are you running biodiesel and not ethanol?  Personal preference?  
Ethanol not available in your area?  Just curious, that's all.  Thanks.

The archives contains more than 38,000 messages over nearly five

again, but if you know what's gone before you'll ask a better

know how to use the archives and do it as a matter of course. The 
Rules are here:

For instance, so far, apart from news items, very little that's been 
said in the current discussion on Bush, Kerry, Iraq, Afghanistan, 
Israel etc, hasn't already been discussed, affirmed, confirmed, 
substantiated, debunked, discredited, blown right out of the water, 
probably several times. A look at the archives first would yield a 
better, more constructive discussion, from which everybody benefits. 
Otherwise it just goes round and round, to little avail, and with 
much more risk of it degenerating into a flame war.

PLEASE, everybody, use the archives!

RE: [Biofuel] Business Plan

2004-09-30 Thread Peggy

Hi Juan and Martin,

I too tried to work with the Canary Islands for hydrogen production from
ocean waves project.   They encouraged me but really wanted to send
their students to study with us and keep the package for their own
interests, even when we were told that we could present our plan to the
ministry of economic development.  The good news is that this country is
capable of great alternative energy through their wind generators.  They
seem to be flexing their muscles right now and more taking than giving.
Well, it really involves equal reciprocity for everyone to have win-win
situations.

Actually, there is much that can be done on farmer or citizen
cooperative plans.  These do not have to involve the government.  We are
visiting with people in other countries to process all kinds of biomass
waste and crops as well-not limited to grains and corn.  

Best wishes,

Peggy

I am not a Democrat and I have never played a significant role in

STUDY: U.S. CAN END OIL USE

A Pentagon-cofunded blueprint for making the United States oil-free,
released September 20 by the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), finds that by
2015 the United States can save more oil than it gets from the Persian
Gulf -- and can eliminate its oil use altogether by 2050. The plan achieves
a net cost savings for the United States and does not require taxation or
regulation.

The plan, Winning the Oil Endgame: Innovation for Profits, Jobs, and
Security, would eliminate half of U.S. oil use through improved efficiency,
and the other half through the use of biofuels and natural gas.

Because saving and substituting oil costs less than buying it, our study
finds a net savings of $70 billion a year, said RMI CEO Amory Lovins.

Dear Adefolu,
Your idea is great, but for effectiveness, it should
go through the normal project cycle. As a starting
point there is the need to carry out an energy audit
(or site survey). If you have already done that, then
you can proceed to develop a design brief, before
sorting out the issue of plant specification. I am
positive the biofuel group is at hand to guide. 

I am also in Nigeria and will be willing to offer you
free consultancy. My background is Electromechanical

List-Archive: 

I'm sure Keith can tell you if you contact him.

I did, onlist, but I shouldn't have to. It's even in the List rules - 
more guidance than rules, though there are rules too:

The archives contains more than 38,000 messages over nearly five 
years. The question you want to ask or the topic you're interested in 
has probably already been covered. That's no reason not to ask it 
again, but if you know what's gone before you'll ask a better 
question and get better answers.

Everyone's been referred to that at least once. List members should 
know how to use the archives and do it as a matter of course. The 
Rules are here:

http://wwia.org/pipermail/biofuel/Week-of-Mon-20040906/05.html

For instance, so far, apart from news items, very little that's been 
said in the current discussion on Bush, Kerry, Iraq, Afghanistan, 
Israel etc, hasn't already been discussed, affirmed, confirmed, 
substantiated, debunked, discredited, blown right out of the water, 
probably several times. A look at the archives first would yield a 
better, more constructive discussion, from which everybody benefits. 
Otherwise it just goes round and round, to little avail, and with 
much more risk of it degenerating into a flame war.

PLEASE, everybody, use the archives!

Best wishes

Keith

Hi,

Sometime ago someone was talking about doing there own testing of mixing
10% biodeisel in gas, and running there lawnmower on it. I think that in
that same email, there was talk about trying the same test on a minivan.
As fas as I know there was never an email about the result of running
biodiesel as a top cyclinger lubricant in a minivan. If anyone has some
data one this I would really like to read it.

Thanks,
Al

to hunt down.

Ah, the brave IDF and it's US supporters and so-called christian enablers. 
What champions of right and righteousness !

What did Jesus say ?
Suffer the little children to come unto me for OF SUCH is the kingdom of 
Heaven, but do these phoney so-call christian enablers of wars and slaughter 
interpret that ?- make the little chikldren suffer. Sick bastards.
