Re: [Biofuel] How many trees were killed to build your home ?
Panasteel is a company in Savannah, GA USA, that buys recycled steel and makes wood frame alternative material. Their website is www.panasteel.com. I am sure that there is a company in your country that is doing the same thing and would be a more logical choice. I mention Panasteel because they have a design dimension to their business and also pre-fab sections in the factory. Very interesting stuff, if I were to build a house or commercial building I would use this material. Standard construction will withstand a class 3 hurricane. Plus, after going to our local Home Show in the spring, I found that I won a drawing for a FREE 12 x 24 structure. And I never win anything!

That is, the total wealth of the top 8.3 million people around the world rose 8.2 percent to $30.8 trillion in 2004, giving them control of nearly a quarter of the world's financial assets. http://globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Facts.asp#endAuthPageInfo Consider the following poverty statistics * Half the world -- nearly three billion people -- live on less than two dollars a day. source 1 * The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of the world's countries) is less than the wealth of the world's three richest people combined. source 2 * Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. source 3 * Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn't happen. 4 * 51 percent of the world's 100 hundred wealthiest bodies are corporations. source 5 * The wealthiest nation on Earth has the widest gap between rich and poor of any industrialized nation. source 6 * The poorer the country, the more likely it is that debt repayments are being extracted directly from people who neither contracted the loans nor received any of the money. source 7 * 20% of the population in the developed nations, consume 86% of the world's goods. source 8 * The top fifth of the world's people in the richest countries enjoy 82% of the expanding export trade and 68% of foreign direct investment - the bottom fifth, barely more than 1%. source 9 * In 1960, the 20% of the world's people in the richest countries had 30 times the income of the poorest 20% - in 1997, 74 times as much. source 10 * An analysis of long-term trends shows the distance between the richest and poorest countries was about: * 3 to 1 in 1820 * 11 to 1 in 1913 * 35 to 1 in 1950 * 44 to 1 in 1973 * 72 to 1 in 1992 source 11 * The lives of 1.7 million children will be needlessly lost this year [2000] because world governments have failed to reduce poverty levels source 12 * The developing world now spends $13 on debt repayment for every $1 it receives in grants. source 13 * A few hundred millionaires now own as much wealth as the world's poorest 2.5 billion people. source 14 * The 48 poorest countries account for less than 0.4 per cent of global exports. source 15 * The combined wealth of the world's 200 richest people hit $1 trillion in 1999; the combined incomes of the 582 million people living in the 43 least developed countries is $146 billion. source 16 * Of all human rights failures today, those in economic and social areas affect by far the larger number and are the most widespread across the world's nations and large numbers of people. source 17 * Approximately 790 million people in the developing world are still chronically undernourished, almost two-thirds of whom reside in Asia and the Pacific. source 18 * According to UNICEF, 30,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death. That is about 210,000 children each week, or just under 11 million children under five years of age, each year. source 19 * For economic growth and almost all of the other indicators, the last 20 years [of the current form of globalization, from 1980 - 2000] have shown a very clear decline in progress as compared with the previous two decades [1960 - 1980]. For each indicator, countries were divided into five roughly equal groups, according to what level the countries had achieved by the start of the period (1960 or 1980). Among the findings: * Growth: The fall in economic growth rates was most pronounced and across the board for all groups or countries. * Life Expectancy: Progress in life expectancy was also reduced for 4 out of the 5 groups of countries, with the exception of the highest group (life expectancy 69-76 years). * Infant and Child Mortality: Progress in reducing infant mortality was also considerably slower during the period of globalization (1980-1998) than over the previous two decades. * Education and literacy: Progress in education also slowed during the period of globalization. source 20 * Today, across the world, 1.3 billion people live on less than one dollar a day; 3 billion live on under two dollars a day; 1.3 billion have no access to clean water; 3 billion have no access to sanitation; 2 billion have no access to electricity. source 21 * The richest 50 million people in Europe and North America have the same income as 2.7 billion poor people.

Re: [Biofuel] Will Brazilian Flex Fuel Device work on American Cars?
Robert, I have seen several people mention E 100 on this list lately. I personally want to buy a diesel and produce bio diesel, but I drive EFI gasoline cars right now. The flextek device offers great promise for me to do my part now without waiting until I buy my Jetta. My question is, where do you get E100. Is this available at the pumps, or is it something you would need to get elsewhere. A city about 45 miles from where I live just got E85, but I have heard nothing of E100. If I have the choice, I can just fill up on E85 every time I go there (usually about 1-2 times/week.)

[Biofuel] Will the G8 Summit reveal more broken promises or effective action on third world debt and climate change?
Will the G8 Summit reveal more broken promises or effective action on third world debt and climate change? by Anup Shah Sunday, July 03, 2005 Will the G8 Summit reveal more broken promises or effective action on third world debt and climate change? The G8 Summit in July 2005 looks to be historic because of promised debt relief for some poor countries in Africa as well as action on climate change. But behind the media and government spin, is this really the case? The proposed $40 billion debt write-off does not look as historic as described, as it is attached with many harsh economic conditions that have contributed to much of the poverty and debt woes these countries already face. In addition, only a few countries get this write-off, and in return, they will get as much reduced from future aid. The $40 billion is to be spread over 40 years, which means it is worth about $17 billion in net present value. Climate change is also under discussion, but leaked drafts have revealed an extremely watered down text that suggests limited or no responsibility on rich countries to take leadership, and even questions the science of climate change. The Live 8 concerts, some of its criticisms as well as successes, the media coverage, and more, are also discussed. http://globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Debt/g8summit2005.asp#endAuthPageInfo * Do promises to alleviate third world debt mean much? * How good has Aid from Rich Countries been in recent years? * 100% Debt Write Off is Not for ALL the Poorest Countries; * G8: Meet our demands or else * Economic Conditions are the Controversial Ones * Such conditionalities are undemocratically imposed * Conditions That Are Less Discussed * Conditions promote unequal trade * If these conditions are unfair, why are they still pursued? * $40 billion write off is not a historic breakthrough * It is not really $40 billion but $15 in net present value * Other costs associated with this proposal * G8 on Climate Change * What has third world debt got to do with climate change? * Leaked drafts show G8 leaders not doing much about climate change * Mainstream media coverage of the G8 buildup and Summit * Portraying G8 Leaders as Saviors * Bush exaggerates claims of trippling aid to Sub-Sahara Africa * Headlines do not reveal any criticims of G8 proposals * Live 8 and Protests * Presenting G8 Leaders as Saviors, Not Mentioning Their Role In Poverty and Debt * Live 8 Not Having Enough African Musicians * Geldof tells artists not to criticize Bush and Blair * Geldof's Gamble May Yet Work * Repeating past mistakes? * Small concessions are not the full deal; they are only the beginning ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/

Industrial monoculture agriculture reduces ecological and food diversity while actually being less productive than smaller scale farming. Climate change impacts will further reduce the resilience of crops, thus potentially affecting food security and further increasing dependency on a few wealthy companies and countries, which can come at an economic, political and social cost (e.g. lost jobs, and more hunger). Famine has also been used as a commercial opportunity in recent times, with an example of Malawi being added here, whereby the IMF required the Malawi government to sell its surplus grain in favor of foreign exchange just before a famine struck.

[Biofuel] Clogged filter
Hello everyone, Last week, a person I known went with his truck to a local dealer for a check up. In there, they discover inside the diesel filter a strange mud that looks like a aquous phase with suspended solids in it. The mud plugged the fuel filter and it has to be replaced. This person used, for 2 months, B20 on his truck (Volvo), and he said to the local dealer that in fact he had tried some biodiesel in his vehicle. The dealer said to him: that's why your fuel filter his in bad shape, the fuel was contaminated. To me this is nonsense since the biodiesel he used meet the EN 14214 fuel specifications. I think that the origin of the strange mud, could be from the water acumulation in the fuel tank and lines, combined with the cleaning action of the biodiesel. What do you think?

The flextek device offers great promise for me to do my part now without waiting until I buy my Jetta. That's the promise. I don't know if the technology will deliver, but it seems like an elegant solution to the problem of modifying EFI engines to run on ethanol. Personally, I would still boost the compression ratio or run forced induction, as I do with my truck. There's no sense in running 105 octane fuel in an engine designed for low grade pump gas. Nonetheless, the Flextek system should work on an engine that is unmodified. My question is, where do you get E100. Is this available at the pumps, or is it something you would need to get elsewhere.

Re: [Biofuel] Clogged filter
Hey dont worry about the filters thats exactly what is suppose to happen. In my diesel benz I had to replace my fuel filter because they had completely plugged up. I decided to break one of the filters open and inside was a mushy, muddy type gunk. Thats the residue that biodiesel cleans out of the tanks. My filter got plugged up using b100 after the first full tank of biodiesel. Dont forget filters are made to filter, so if they get dirty just replace them a little more often and be happy their doing their job.

Re: [Biofuel] Hybrid Diesel
Chris a écrit : Wood gasification, using peat instead of wood? (Burning the 'smoke' in a regular car engine.) exactly But Paddy was right when he objected me that it is not ecological. Peat-bogs are very special habitats for fauna and flora (i.e. carnivorous plants) and they need thousands years to regerenate. We should consider them as fossil carbon preserves (the future oil fields of Ireland ;-) ) and biodiversity preserves. I was kidding because I worked in one turf extraction plant and the boss was running a furnace with it. The smell and the smoke were ... exotic to me. Guinness bier matched well with the smoky taste of the Irish stew cooked in the furnace. Good remembers. But also, I was sorry to see how Ireland was spending it's natural ressources (not only peat, but also chemical pollution or sea overexploitation). I hope that the Irish laws on environment protection have been improved, it's a so nice country. frantz ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
RE: [Biofuel] Biofuel as a rural community development project in Mozambique
Hello Alexis 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. You don't have to choose, indeed you shouldn't choose. There'll surely be some circumstances where bioethanol is more appropriate than biodiesel, for one or another reason, and there'll be other circumstances where both would be better. Another option is biogas, to provide heat for processing, and as a useful village technology in iteself. By-products and wastes from fuel production help to feed the biogas unit; the biogas effluent and sludge is composted to provide more fertiliser for growing the biofuels crops. In some situations using the mash from ethanol production as livestock feed can be a critical cost factor in whether the whole operation is economically viable or not. (The livestock manure then feeds the biogas unit and the compost unit.) And so on. A rational and sustainable energy future requires great reductions in energy use (currently mostly waste), great improvements in energy use efficiency, and, most important, decentralisation of supply to the small-scale or farm-scale local-economy level, along with the use of all ready-to-use renewable energy technologies in combination as the local circumstances require. This is from a previous message: I am mainly concerned with plant oil as fuel in developing countries on the basis of village technology, and in this case all blends of oil with alcohol or biodiesel make the system more complicated (oil extraction is a simple technology compared with alcohol destillation). Well, I agree, but I also think there are many village situations where both alcohol and biodiesel are feasible. I think it's not so easy to find an area where distillation is unknown. All over the world (not just the Third World) local people make hooch - very often beer, but there's usually some distilling going on too. We hear the bad stories - 20 people killed after drinking illegal liquor at a village wedding party, you know what happens. I think however that these are a small minority of cases, most local hooch is well-made with no methanol. Whatever, the local technology is often there, and improving it, making it safer, while providing a useful fuel supply is no bad thing, and can provide double-use for local crops and/or crop wastes. Again, with biodiesel, most or all of what's required can be locally available (the oil, ethanol, an easy way of drying the ethanol, KOH from ash, simple ways to control quantities and pH). But it all depends on local conditions, local requirements. I think it's as well to have as many options available as possible. Keep your options open rather than deciding in advance. (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). So can biogas, and so can ethanol, all the more so if the local community is producing it themselves from their own resources. 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. There is no best feedstock. It just doesn't work that way. This is how it works: http://journeytoforever.org/community.html Community development http://journeytoforever.org/community2.html Community development - poverty and hunger It's a sad fact that most development projects don't work well, if at all, and at worst they can do more harm than good. A major reason for this is that no doubt very well-intentioned people get to thinking they're the ones who should decide what's the best feedstock, the best technology, the best methods, without the local people having any say in it, although they're the ones who'll be doing it, and they're the target group who're supposed to benefit from it. It just doesn't work - they have to be involved at every level, including the decision-making level, and particularly with women's issues. If projects aren't done this way, it's not too cynical to say that perhaps the only way they'll work is in providing opportunities for grant-seeking, for field experience that looks good on a CV, for research material for a doctoral thesis, for career enhancement for development workers, while what happens on the ground is another story, with the intended benefits going in all the wrong directions or unforeseen side-effects somehow achieving the opposite of the intended results. Working with community involvement is more difficult, and you end up with a bunch of different projects - the one in this valley isn't the same
[Biofuel] Engine tech. Was Napier Deltic Engines
On the subject of engine technology have a look at this
http://www.limtechnology.com/Pages/concept.htm
It is a two stroke diesel design that uses cylinder porting for exhaust
but still uses valves in the cylinder head (un driven like check
valves) to intake boosted air and uses direct injection. The crank
case is not part of the intake system so it can be filled with oil as
in a conventional four stroke. It has excellent scavenging due to the
forced down flow through the cylinder during the exhaust/intake stage
and the fact that the entire valve area in the head is devoted to
intake only. It has excellent power to weight ratio and mechanical
simplicity due to lack of cam shaft and valve actuation and being
diesel requires no magnetos or ignition system. Since it has an oil
sump it does not require lubrication from the fuel as other two stroke
designs do which is a fact that makes them so offensive to the
environment. The engine is not prone to carb icing since it is a
diesel and has a wide open airway. All around this engine has so many
advantages that I want one! It would be cool to have the first
ultralight running on biodiesel!

The Napier Deltic was based on the Junkers Jumo aircraft diesel engine
developed before World War Two. The Jumo had one bank of 6 cylinders
and two crankshafts, so the Deltic was much more economical of crankshafts
and crankcases. Apparently Napier took out a licence from Junkers before
the war and acquired the technology but didn't go into production.
The Jumo by report was suited for running at a constant throttle setting
but couldn't take the variations in power needed for most military
operations. Apparently the piston which governed the exhaust ports and the
cylinder area around it tended to get too hot. It was used in the Junkers
JU 86 bomber-transport (and in the JU 86P high altitude reconnaisance
version where the suitability of the diesel for turbosupercharging
came in extremely handy; Paul Wilkinson's "Aircraft Engines of the World"
for 1944 says it could maintain sea level power to 32,000 feet) and in
Dornier patrol flying boats.
I've read casual references to the Deltic having maintenance problems.
There is a British book on the history of Napier ("The Napier Story?")
which may have more information.
L. J. K. Setright's "Some Unusual Engines" may have something on it; my
copy is long gone and my memory is dim.
British engineering journals of the 1950's will likely have information
about the Deltic.
Before the war Napier was apparently badly managed; this caused problems
with the Sabre aircraft engine. During the war the company was taken over
by Rolls-Royce due to the need to get the Sabre in reliable service and in
production. I've read that Napier had lathes at the time that were 100
years old. After the war Napier dissipated a lot of effort on the Nomad
compound diesel aircraft engine (which never went into production or
flew in a prototype aircraft) and the Eland gas turbine propeller engine
which saw very limited but not satisfactory service, and the Naiad
helicopter gas turbine, which I don't think went into production. I get
the impression that bad management continued, at least as far as
management focus went.

If I understand correctly, they may be a bit more efficient than standard diesels, but, because they were so unorthodox they are somewhat obscure.
Does anyone have any knowledge of, or first hand experience with these engines?

[Biofuel] ASPO on the Economic near-Future
From the latest ASPO Newsletter: http://www.peakoil.net/ Expect a severe downturn in the world's economy over the next two years as Bilderbergers try to safeguard the remaining oil supply by taking money out of people's hands. In a recession or, at worst, a depression, the population will be forced to dramatically cut down their spending habits, thus ensuring a longer supply of oil to the world's rich as they try to figure out what to do. I know, your eyes glaze over when you hear anything about the Bilderbergers :-) Interesting idea, tho. My Dad was poor enough in the Great Depression that hey traded with their Polish neighbors for sauerkraut and potatoes. OTOH, my Mom was sort of aristocracy, and the same event hardly even broke their stride!

My question is about the fuel lines (what seems like hard plastic of a unknow kind )and fuel system the two pumps. Dose any one know what type of rubber is in the 1994 Landrover TDI 300 fuel system.Is it safe to use 100% Biodiesel if not what parts should i change??? (I am slowly introducing biodiesl at around 5---10% so far )but i dont want to go any higher till i get some advice about the fuel lines etc.I am just cleaning out the system slowly.but dont want to do any damage. 2. Also what is the effect of using a Petrol fuel filter but with a mix of Diesel/Biodiesel is it safeI am driving around with a 2nd new landrover filter incase my filter gets blocked but i havent found a in line filter for diesel so i am unsure if it is safe to us a Petrol filter.
