This included the environmental impact of ethanol use and production. The executive summary is athttp://www.aia.ab.ca/policy/andthe full text is at http://www.aia.ab.ca/policy/thebiofuelsfrenzy.pdf in case there is still some interest. I know it isn't ethanol, but in a related subject:http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=33361 Thermal Depolymerization (TPD) is not just for the "fat" as this article states. It actually takes any carbon-based feedstock, so any biproduct coming from the processing plant, including the water to hose it down every day (they can use it in the system as the vector for the ground up feedstock). One of the better uses I've seen is making diesel out of raw sewage. Does it still pollute? Yes, but a bit less polluting (no sulfur) than diesel made from crude. Right now, about 7% of the energy from the feedstock goes to run the plant, after that its all gravy. Black gravy. Frank Reid There's a plant in Missouri thats allready working. It turns turkey parts into oil. http://discovermagazine.com/2006/apr/anything-oil Maby Ben Franklin was right. If the turkey saves us from dependance on foreign oil maby it should be our national bird. If you can use turkeys you can use stray dogs, carp, people. .... |
