This documentary narrated by biofuel advocate Josh Tickell looks into the background of America’s dependence on our fossil fuels. In the documentary Tickell interviews and asks questions from all over the spectrum of fuel use in America. Ultimately‚ he looks at how American’s fuel lifestyle and how we can better change our fuel addictive lifestyles in the future. Josh Tickell created a van that traveled around the country for almost 2 years using grease from fast food restaurants to fuel the van

Thermochemical Biomass Gasification – A Review of Technologies Abstract Gasification (in the context of this paper) is an energy process that produces a gas which can be used to substitute fossil fuels. It is a process which enhances biomass’ usefulness as a renewable resource as the product gas (syngas) can easily be transported along existing gas pipelines‚ and can either be mixed with‚ or used as a replacement for natural gas combustion in gas turbines for power and heat generation. Syngas

production and the demand for alternative biofuels. According to the article by Scott‚ the share of total domestic corn production has increased drastically over the last several years as the demand for ethanol continues to increase. This demand for biofuel will alter the way cash crops are farmed a national land transformation will begin. Farmers who once grew soybeans and other grains will change their farming practices to meet the demand that the biofuel industry is placing on it. Another contributing

Algae Could Solve World’s Fuel Crisis Von Philip Bethge Dan Robertson is working on algae that can produce biofuel. Genetically modified blue and green algae could be the answer to the world’s fuel problems. Bioengineers have already developed algae that produce ethanol‚ oil and even diesel -- and the only things the organisms need are sunlight‚ CO2 and seawater.

transport vehicles running on gasoline engines‚ the development of bio-gasoline may well reduce the dependence of the fuel market on fossil fuels. Biofuel development has gained the attention of researchers in recent years owing to the rate of depletion of fossil fuels. Several processes are currently employed in the conventional production ofdifferent biofuels: the production of biodiesel is catalytically performed either through the transesterification of triglycerides using alcohol or the deoxygenative
