Hello there!
This is the second time I post this question, since nobody responded to the
first time, please advice!
I own a fairly
big piece of land, in which I grow oranges, and a lot of them
fall from the trees and rot on the ground. I have been told that making ethanol from those rotting oranges can be quite simple. I can also have access to an almost unlimited supply of wood chips and sawdust from a nearby lumber yard, from which I read Methanol can be obtained, or those can be turned on fire to run the furnaces to make the Ethanol, right? The main use I will have for either the Ethanol or the Methanol is to fuel a small fleet of cars that I use for traveling back and forth to where the oranges are.The 4 cars combined consume about 50~60 gallons of fuel per month, each. I have found in various places on the Web that Brazil has many vehicles that come from the factory ready to use alcohol as the fuel, but nobody seems to have many details of the systems. I'm looking
forward for any suggestions to learn how to produce my own fuel at reduced
costs, in order to make my operation as self-sustainable as
possible.
Thank you in advance! |
