In passing on a post Biomass Connections, that I consideration it was necessary to clarify certain things about Biofuels. The article in question from a photo fun, which we saw that the Russian company which distributes petrol in the United States also proudly trumpeted and this gasoline does not contain ethanol, it does not use the biocraburants and that its essence is superior.

How’s that? Just because ethanol is hydrophilic! Hydro-what? It draws water, in addition to being corrosive. This has forced manufacturer and distributors of ethanol to make sure that transport, pipelines and reservoirs used for storage. And that is why cars “flex-fuel”, who mixed scents (biofuels), requires a special R & D. Beyond 20% ethanol in gasoline, we need particular engines. Hence the warning on its Lukoil gasoline: with it, and your engine “classic”, there will be no-go or lesser mileage. These are of two types; there are two paths, both part of renewable energy because they draw their “juice” in every sense, vegetable matter.

Actually, it was when cost of tortillas rose quickly in 2006 and into 2007 that people began to understand that society needed to utilize food to feed people rather than feed their vehicle. Mexicans freaked out about this. I was in Mexico City as this was happening and it subject front-page headlines approximately every day.
