"Biodegradable fuel is not going to be the quick fix," says Dan Kammen, director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Lab at the University of California, Berkeley.
In the meantime, Kammen's lab has analyzed one more way to exploit bio-fuels: Skip the liquid fuel stage entirely. Gasifying biomass could produce electricity to flow directly into the grid, facilitating another transportation alternative--electric vehicles.
Why not a bio-diesel-electric hybrid?
