How much more fertilizer must be shipped in to offset the straw, as that is returned to the soil ?

WarwicklCAST could you tell me if the straw put together in the UK will be sufficient to meet the fuel (petroleum) needs of UK when converted to ethanol.

I spoke to Dr Kerry Burton about this and his response was:
'The UK straw production (wheat, barley and rape) is approx 20 million tonnes annually. If we make an assumption of 10% efficiency of conversion to liquid fuel i.e. 2million tonnes, this equates to about 5% of the road transport usage.

These are approximate figures with an assumption of efficiency of conversion (not fully tested). However it should be pointed out that in future, renewable energy will come from a variety of sources, and it is likely that plant wastes will be part of that formula.'
