Castor still has the Ricin problem. can any one let
me know how to destroy this by product in the mash?
I need to process for oil enough seeds to supply
200 liters/day of castor oil. The Ricin in two seeds are enough to kill a person
depending on the type of ingestion in 2 to 7 days. There is no antibiotic or
antidote to Ricin and thus is classed as ingredients for WMD.
Jatropha is okay and is good for ground
stabilization and many other uses but it has toxins. So far on this list I have
not found any place site or information on where to buy Mexican non-toxic
Jatropha seeds, I am beginning to think that they are a myth after 6 months
searching. 78 + varieties of Jatropha and no one can supply non-toxic
variety seeds?
Old rice is realizing us close to 30 liters of
wet Ethanol per 24 kilos of broken and destroyed grain.

im all for the efficiency argument, but
COME ON PEOPLE! doesnt anyone
believe in using something OTHER than corn
and soy? they are NOT the best
feedstocks anyone could use for fuel!
move to a better supply, not a higher
yield. this is ridiculous! if the
supply was a high density stock the land
requirement would be
porportionally lower.
for diesel replacement assume we used castor in
the USA:
-oil yield would be roughly 151 gallons per acre compared to 48
gallons of soy oil.
-THEREFORE one acre of castor would eliminate the
need for more
than 3 acres of soy.
which means those other 2 acres of
new empty field could be
used for food or- OH NO! TREES!
for
gasoline replacement assume we use sugarbeets (not very good, but more
climate friendly) in the USA:
-ethanol yield would be 412 gallons per
acre compared to 214 gallons
of corn ethanol
-THEREFORE one acre of
sugarbeets would eliminate the need for
1.9 acres of corn.
you see
where im going with this?
by selective breeding of some of the more
tropical varieties of high density
stock, we can slowly push the growing
regions further north, increasing the
supply density, and lowering the
acreage needed to supply the same amount.
WE DONT NEED CORN OR SOY FOR
FUEL! i might be raving like an idiot, but
noone can seem to understand
that corn and soy are not the only crops in the
world.
