A group of Spanish developers working for a company called Ecofasa just announced a new biofuel made up from trash. This isn’t a biodiesel made from used frying oil; instead, it’s made from general urban waste which is treated by bacteria. The result of that bacteria? Fatty acids that can be used to produce standard biodiesel. According to the company’s CEO, the process is fully biologic, competes with no feedstock and is really sustainable. However, the process doesn’t yield that much actual fuel: just one liter of biodiesel from 10 kg of trash. The project is now in a development phase, but Ecofasa said that a commercially viable model could be ready in three to four years.
I have a paper to do on that question and just need some help. If it can how much would it cost? How would the economy beneifit? What procedures would have to be taken to complete this task? How long would it take to convert the vehicle to run on the fuel cell?
I am analyzing the effects of both the 1973 oil crisis and the current 2003 gas crisis and their effects on car design and fuel changes. This will be done for a senior project culminating in September 2009 and requires the use of a community expert who can read my papers and give me general suggestions technically about the subject.
i have to do a project on alternative fuel sorces. i need a web site were i can compare all the diferent fuels with pros and con on anything from hydrogen fuel cells to E85 ethanol Originally posted 2008-12-25 06:56:47.
http://water-as-gas.com/ – one of the sites that proves water can be an alternative to gas, since the price of gas/fossil fuel is rising and rising and the earth will be running out of gas someday soon…why dont they implement it in new cars? it will be very beneficial in all aspects.

Why biodiesel? How biodiesel? Alan and Ethan of Biotour show YP4 what it means to be a biodiesel bus. The Ohio State Green Fair was a public education event organized by Young People For (YP4) Fellow Chrissy Cooley. YP4 specifically sponsored the attendance of Biotour, a biodiesel bus that travels around the country aiming to [...]
