can anybody explain the process of making this "green fuel" ?
or at least the chemical compound.. judging by the fact it's made from life that existed long ago, I'm willing to guess it at least contains alot of carbon (also the fact you get alot of carbon buildup in engines after use...)
that's all well and good until you suck all the nutrients/fertility out of the ground and burn it off into the atmosphere, then you can't grow anything. We have this problem already just trying to feed people... you have to put back into the earth what you take out, and where is that suppose to come from if your burning off what would normally get a chance to rot. Many modern fertilizers are petroleum based... so this doesn't necessarily reduce dependence on oil at all!
increased carbon due to automotive pollution from oil. carbon forestry studies, but it doesn't come without consequences. a society that sends everything to landfills does not return necessary nutrients to the soil that were reaped and delivered to your doorstep. Carbon alone is not enough to make food sources flourish. Burning carbon is not efficient transfer of energy.
This is already being commercialized. It will be competitive with oil at $60 per barrel. There is enough biomass to replace about half of the fossil oil we use. It's not a complete answer, but a very important piece.
great idea. Now these 5 scientists have about 3 trillion barrels of this stuff to produce. Hopefully it will be early 90's prices, about 98cents a gallon.
what is the catalyst they use? and how do they condense the gas into liquid form?

Green gasoline can be made by Biological waste, algae, etc. without
using food resources.
It's a great alternative comparing to electricity which billions of dollars
have to be invested in infrastructure
for electric vehicles !
Check out other companies producing green gasoline like; ls9, and Solix !
visit their websites !

actually plant growth has increase, some scientist attribute this to increased carbon emissions... more available carbon, larger carbon cycle.

They will probably outlaw it or something along those lines, just like how they 'Killed the electric car'

it's great people are finally working intensely on this after decades of ignoring global warming and our dependence on foreign oil.
