Biodiesel plants are being planned for just about everywhere, and I can only hope that they never see the light of day. Growing crops specifically to produce transportation fuels is a huge waste of capital, energy, and land use. <br /> <br />The best option for producing transportation fuels from ag and forest lands is to utilize ag/forest residues (left over after harvest of the crop) and convert them to higher chain alcohols. The MixAlco process does just this thing, and the higher chain alcohols that make up the MixAlco blend can be used in both spark ignition and compression ignition engines at up to 15% of the fuel blend. Much preferable to using ethanol in gasoline blends or biodiesel in diesel fuel blends.
