Hrmm, algae for oil and the renderings for biomass . what a boon!!
Actually algae is already being utilized for it's other properties on a
large scale in the California Desert. Just need to move it over to BD
processing.

Yeah, Keith-
think waste crops and weeds and we're thinking outside the mainsteam of
biofuel thought...I'm thinking these Laurel (Laurus Nobilus) hedges around
town which grow like bandits annually, and which produce oil (they're a
member of the avocado family I believe) might prove a good fuel

Right, back home it was so cold the words came out of your mouth as

As with the hedges, what if
municipalities started growing oilseed-brearing trees along the
verges instead of the usual pretty ones? Some of them are probably
pretty enough too. And so on and on.

Do you think the glow plugs have any role in this? As I said, I have seen
the use of starter fluid allowed, even encouraged by manufacturers of Diesel
engines that do not have glow plugs. Could this have a role in whether or
not someone should use starter fluid? It would seem to me that glow

I believe there is a difference Keith, but, some of both happens. For the
drying part, they lose the volatiles
Hrmm,
On that note it seems that you kinda answered the question yourself. So,
BD being hygroscopic will always come to an equallibrium of 1200ppm water
content. No mater how long or what type of drying done to the BD,
equallibrium will happen and the fuel will clear of any excess water.

Seems like selling the essential oil is more profitable

I recently read a whitepaper on grapseed extraction via supercritical

Truly frightening. Let's look at some quotes from the article.
