Ray, It is my understanding that the other three butanols are OK as fuel. Only tert-butanol is a problem - it gels at too high a temperature. It is my...

Has anyone investigated the BTUs you can get out of dried, compressed algae burned as-is? I'm thinking maybe it could burn in coal-fired power plants. This...
I do not think one should expect the ABE process to produce tert- butanol,becuase it is very much more toxic to the anaerobes. So there is no metabolic...

Graham, Coal is so incredibly cheap that it would be almost impossible to compete with it. Liquid fuels command a premium, so we have a better chance of being...

Oh no, we're back to this again? Bobby is correct. The percentage of warming that can be attributed to CO2 is very, very small, and then the amount of CO2...
