Biofuels are gaining importance in recent years due to their low carbon emissions, government support, growing automobile industry, volatile and rising crude oil prices, and energy sustainability with new opportunities resulting in scaling up production with utilization of new feed stocks like jatropha and algae for biodiesel and cellulosic feed stocks for bioethanol. Technologies mainly used for bioethanol production is fermentation and for biodiesel, and esterification.

In the year 2010, 107.6 billion liters of biofuel was produced globally, of which top and emerging countries accounted for 84.5% of production. The biofuels production in top and emerging countries is expected to grow from 102,896 million liters in 2011 to 150,975 million liters in 2016 at CAGR of 8% for the same period.

As of 2010, global biofuels production market is largely dominated by U.S. (45.9%), Brazil (29.3%), and France (3.75%). These countries have mature markets as compared to other countries. The countries like India (1.3%), Spain (1.14%), and Thailand (1.04%) are in growth stage, while the countries like Sweden (0.33%), Netherlands (0.33%), Belgium (0.63%), and Colombia (0.65%) are at nascent stage in biofuel production.

The objective of report is to highlight key market trends and winning imperatives which can be strategically useful and actionable for the stakeholders i.e. bioethanol producers, biodiesel producers, petroleum companies, feedstock suppliers, biofuel project developers, biofuel research institutes, and biofuel process equipment suppliers. The entire report is supported with lot of facts and figures about market size (million liters), market revenues ($ million), raw materials and cost structures. The total number of tables and figures are about 104 and 59 respectively in the report.

What is Biomass and Is it a Practical Source of Energy?

Future Of Biofuels Biomass, plants and animals, wood pellets 0 Comment

Biomass is any organic material that is made by plants and animals. This includes all parts of plants, animal flesh and excretions such as manure. Biomass in rich in energy that can be used for fuel which is called biofuel.

Fossil fuels are also a biomass since it’s believed that they come from ancient plants and animals. But usually when people speak of biomass they are talking about material produced from sources that are alive now or were recently.

Biofuel is often talked about as though it was a new technology that we can use in the future to help solve our energy supply problems. But humans have been using biofuel since the beginning of humanity. The food we eat is a form of biofuel that we wouldn’t exist without. Humans have also used plant materials such as wood wax and whale oil as a fuel to burn for heat and light for thousands of years.

Newer technologies have allowed us to use biomass for making other biofuels. Biomass can be burned to power electric generators or made into methane, alcohol or bio diesel for powering our cars. These processes are energy intensive meaning a lot of energy is lost in converting biomass into the other forms of fuel or energy. Because of this these biofuels have not been cost effective or practical.

With all the technology going into biofuel research the one form of biofuel that we have been using since ancient times still remains the most efficient and practical. Burning biomass such as wood for direct heating is still the most efficient.

Instead of focusing on trying to use biomass to fuel our cars and generate electricity we may be better off using it to heat our homes and buildings. Firewood may not be practical for most people but pellets made from wood and other biomass may be. Burning pellets is cost effective, clean and may be the most efficient way to utilize the energy in biomass.

For those who want to use biomass as a renewable energy source heating with wood or other biomass pellets are practical and economical and the technology and distribution systems are already available.

Enzymes Used for Bio Fuel and Algae Fuel and the Continuation of the GMO Debate

The Facts Algae, food chain, fuel additives, Lance Winslow, New York Times 0 Comment

We keep watching as science moves to the next level in bio-fuels, specifically with algae bio-fuel which can be turned into jet fuel, bio-diesel, and they even have a scheme to turn it into pure rocket fuel; Whoorah – take that to the moon why don’t you? Recently, there was a decent article in the New York Times, I say decent because it laid it all out in layman’s terms. The article on 7-26-2010 is very much worthy of your time to read.

In it the writer explains that “they have produced over 4,000 enzymes, many of which are up to 10 times better at turning algae into fuel.” I’d say that is some real innovation in the environmental bio-fuel space, and could be one of the answers to slow our outflows to Middle Eastern oil, which as President Bush rightly noted; “The problem is that we are addicted to foreign oil.”

Nevertheless, all these research papers I read each day as part of our Think Tank activities, as well as this great summary in the New York Times, have me asking more questions than ever, for instance, 4,000 enzymes to turn algae more efficiently into fuel, concerns me, namely because of the implications for human health, the environmental food chain, and all aquatic species; plants and animals.

You see, all of this begs the question, similar to the GMO sunflower issues a decade ago, what happens when all this gets into the wild, and in the water? Humans can’t drink fuel laden water right – ouch, talk about a cancer causing crisis coming? We’ve already dealt with fuel additives in the ground water and the aggressive cancers that causes, and this is scary, we need to be risk adverse to all this, or we will be sorry later. More studies are needed – NOW!

Okay so, without getting to sounding like an environmental mouthpiece, which I am not, I am not even a global warming religion follower. And well the reality is; I am not an anti-GMO guy, but realize that mankind doesn’t know enough yet to be screwing around with such things so rapidly, we need to take it slower and make sure we know what we are doing, and it’s clear we don’t, yet. Screwing around with genes in the food chain is going to turn around and bite us in the rear, I fear.

Just like screwing around with free markets, attempting to micro-manage them has brought instability and uncertainty to our economy, messing with the food chain, and the risks of an already challenged water supply is a real problem. As I understand it the GMO crowd wishes to add nutrients to the foods, vaccines, reduced sterilization chemicals, and drugs to solve other problems in the third world, and increase production for the first world while making every fruit and vegetable, yes, and animal produce the right color, texture, shape, etc.

Sill, in doing so the law of unintended consequences could cause chaos, even if it solves some problems temporarily such as preventing Ug99 virus in wheat for instance. A serious issue today, considering the droughts and the world food supplies. You see, the viruses and bacteria will find a way, and in the end we will have resistant bacteria and more dangerous viruses and it will be all our own doing.

Of course, I am preaching to the choir, and we all know this, the FDA, scientists, Monsanto, everyone realizes how serious this is, and they are being as careful as their shareholders and voters allow for. Nevertheless, when we introduce large regions of our nation growing algae, using special enzymes, that stuff will move around and it will most likely end up places we don’t want it. So, we need safe guards and we need to choose the most benign, yet still efficient enzymes and we need to watch and be hyper vigilant every step of the way. Please consider this.
