10% Campaign announced 31/07/01:  "Tonight, I am launching the 10% Campaign – a campaign to produce 10% of the UK’s transport fuel from 10% of our farmland, by 2010. The proposal is feasible and would make an enormous difference to our rural economy, our air quality and our energy supplies"  This was how Peter Clery, the Chairman of the British Association of Biofuels and Oils (BABFO) opened a parliamentary reception hosted by Lord Palmer in the House of Lords last night. The reception was being held to boost the political campaign for a further reduction in excise duty for the biofuels, bioethanol and biodiesel.
A fair deal for Transport and the Environment:  Chancellor Gordon Brown announced today an affordable and targeted series of measures to help modernise road transport and increase choice for access to cheaper motoring for people who need to use their cars, while continuing to protect the environment.  With the duty freeze, the package for consultation would cut haulers’ costs by the equivalent of 8 pence per litre in the price of diesel and motorists’ costs by the equivalent of 4 pence per litre in the price of petrol in Budget 2001.

Accelerating the Shift to A Carbohydrate Economy: The Federal Role :  In June 2000 the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 (PL 106-224) became law. Title III of that law, referred to as the Biomass R&D Act of 2000, established the Biomass Research and Development Board. A Technical Advisory Committee was established to advise that Board. This Committee was charged by Congress to submit an annual report to the Secretaries of Energy and Agriculture. That report was submitted in January 2002. A minority report was included. This paper echoes the language and perspective and summarizes the recommendations of the minority report

Biodiesel gets a start. 9/03/2001:  "An initial start but quite inadequate to bring forward the environmental potential of the fuel" was how BABFO Chairman Peter Clery described Chancellor Gordon Brown’s Budget announcement that biodiesel would qualify for a 20p per litre tax rebate.. This will mean a tax on biodiesel of about 25p to come into effect a year from now. ( Road gas fuels enjoy a tax rate of around 10p per litre.) Pilot Project proposals are also being invited for bio ethanol but no tax rates for this fuel have yet been indicated.
Biofuels new link — How can you say you’re environmentalists?" asked a local skeptic in Hong Kong. "Your Land Rovers aren’t green at all — one runs on leaded petrol and the other’s a dirty diesel."  "Um," we said, thinking fast… "but if everyone had cars like ours, there’d be no need for roads."

Biofuels: Food or fuel?:  A common objection to biomass energy production is that it could divert agricultural production away from food crops in a hungry world — even leading to mass starvation in the poor countries. True or not?  Not true: at best it’s an oversimplification of a complex issue. It just doesn’t work that way, and neither does hunger.

Emissions from Liquid Biofuels.:  This study updates the life-cycle emissions from biodiesel and fossil diesel that were calculated by ECOTEC in 1999. The study’s objective also reviews information on the tailpipe emissions from bioethanol, compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG).  ECOTEC made use of new data compiled by Levington Agriculture on oil seed rape production and improvements in performance in the energy efficiency of fertiliser plants. The energy efficiency of fertiliser production has improved by 74% since the ETSU study and yields of oilseed rape are 27% higher than those used by ETSU. These data were used to update the life-cycle analysis of biodiesel.

Green Fuel challenge:   In the longer term, the challenge will be to achieve cleaner, greener road transport. Ultimately it will be for industry to rise to the challenge of developing profitable alternative fuels and related technologies. Therefore, in the run up to Budget 2001, the Government will invite British industry to develop proposals for practical alternative fuels. Following consideration of these proposals the Chancellor will announce major reductions in duty rates for the most promising environmentally friendly alternative fuels.
Green Fuel Challenge 15/12/2000:  British Association for Bio Fuels and Oils
Green Motor Fuel Gets Green Light:  Today, the Government "invited industry to develop practical proposals for alternative environmental-friendly fuels and will announce major reductions in duty rates for the most promising of these fuels in Budget 2001."  " I warmly welcome this encouraging statement from the Chancellor". That is how Peter Clery, Chairman of the British Association for Biofuels and Oils greeted the Chancellor’s announcement.  "I have no doubt whatsoever" said Mr. Clery, ‘that BIO DIESEL and BIOETHANOL will rapidly emerge as the prime candidates for duty rebates. Given the appropriate level of duty, industry will move quickly to organize production resulting in a rapid increase in the use of these fuels. This will lead cleaner air and a sound sustainable source of environmentally friendly road fuel"

What is BioGas?

Biogas is generated when bacteria degrade biological material in the absence of oxygen, in a process known as anaerobic digestion. Since biogas is a mixture of methane (also known as marsh gas or natural gas, CH4) and carbon dioxide it is a renewable fuel produced from waste treatment. Anaerobic digestion is basically a simple process carried out in a number of steps that can use almost any organic material as a substrate – it occurs in digestive systems, marshes, rubbish dumps, septic tanks and the Arctic Tundra. Humans tend to make the process as complicated as possible by trying to improve on nature in complex machines but a simple approach is still possible, as I hope you see in some of the links below. As methane is very hard to compress I see its best use as for stationary fuel, rather than mobile fuel. It takes a lot of energy to compress the gas (this energy is usually just wasted), plus you have the hazard of high pressure. A variable volume storage (flexible bag or floating drum are the two main variants) is much easier and cheaper to arrange than high pressure cylinders, regulators and compressors.

Ethanol production from sweet sorghum :  new link — The stem juice of sweet sorghum is rich in fermentative sugar and is a desirable alcoholic fermentation material. It is difficult to measure the juice Sugar content in the process of production. The sugar content is commonly expressed with juice brix degree, but the relation between sugar content and brix degree has not been very cleared The objective of this study was to find out their relation and tell the sugar content by means of the measurement of juice saccharine more accurately, which may provide a theoretical basis for crop breeding and fermentation. In addition to fermentative sugar, other kinds of sugars are also found in the stem juice of sweet sorghum. The acquirement of the contents of different sugars is beneficial to the enhancement of alcohol production rate. There are also some ammonia acids and minerals in the juice, measuring their contents enables us to use sweet sorghum better with multi-purpose.  / (added 09/2005)

Plug-In Hybrids to Remain Rare Despite Amazing Mileage, says ABI Research :  new link — OYSTER BAY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 30, 2005–Though it would probably void the warranty, owners have been known to modify their hybrid vehicles to run longer solely on electric power and to charge their batteries from electric mains (thus the name, "plug-in hybrid"). If they recharge frequently enough, it is possible to use the gasoline engine in the vehicle only rarely, literally allowing for hundred of miles per gallon. So why aren’t automakers offering this as a factory option?

Reforming the Automobile Fuel Economy Standards Program :  PDF-160k — E04-10, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is at a critical juncture. Setting the wrong policy will not only lastingly harm the national interest in saving lives, oil, and emissions. It will also degrade the competitive prospects of U.S. automakers by encouraging them to make vehicles that increasingly are unsaleable abroad. Many policymakers in Europe, Japan, China, and Canada don’t share the view that light vehicles, except perhaps the heaviest, must stay heavy for safety (or that CO2 isn’t important). As U.S. OEMs struggle with eroding market share and strive to globalize their operations, further perverse U.S. regulatory incentives are the last thing they need.
