Joule Biotechnologies SolarConverter System

Brian Yalung — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:56:08 +0000

Biodiesel was known to be made possible from plants but this is one system from Joules Biotechnologies that doesn’t produces the same algae-based fuel by redesigning organisms and their functionality. They require no farmland to grow corn or other feedstock. They genetically engineered organisms that use photosynthesis to directly create the molecules that form the basis of diesel.

Their SolarConverter array system suspends these organisms in a solution within a light-permeable structure that looks something like a solar panel array. When directed to sunlight, the organisms turn CO2 and the sunlight into biodiesel. Certainly a new alternative to get some fuel in this time of crisis.

Qatar Airways Launches Natural Gas Commercial Jet

Brian Yalung — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:53:14 +0000

Qatar Airways has defied the odds and perhaps flown a jet like no other airline has yet dared. This is what sums up the new development that Qatar Airways has officially flown the first commercial jet that runs on natural gas. This alternative fuel discovery was able to power an Airbus A340-600 from London Gatwick that landed in the Qatari capital, Doha.

From the look of it, this may be a good sign for the aviation sector. Unless some kinks come out, you can bet that natural gas may yet be the answer to the fuel woes of the transport industry. Then again, this is just one flight and other issues like impact on the engines and the volume of use need to be observed and recorded further.

Scooters Running on Tequila Power

Brian Yalung — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:21:15 +0000

When you think of alternative fuel, cost may sometimes take a backseat. This is because you have to ask yourself, are you looking for something economic or something to answer the disappearing resources of fuel? Well as far as this post is concerned, it tried to answer the latter.

Tequila is normally something we drink at bars or special occasions. But to use them as an alternative means of fuel may be both beneficial and costly. Beneficial in the sense that we find a new source of fuel which seems to be the focus of most people today.

Apparently there is a prime ingredient in Tequila. To us, it is not a new one. The agent is ethanol, one of the most heard elements that could possibly replace the standard fuel we have today. With the right process, it can be the new alternative fuel for scooters once it has been officially proven as suitable.

Green Fuel Production to Expand

Brian Yalung — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 05:59:08 +0000

Expect the supply and sources of green fuel to further expand as US Biofuels Inc. is set to launch a major green fuel production with recent gains from 12 greenhouses. Each greenhouse will be constructed and renovated for the purpose of growing algae in a closed system, using the photobioreactor (PBR) process for the production of Biofuel.

What is a PBR?

PBR is a bioreactor, which includes some kind of light source. Really any clear, translucent container could be called a PBR, but the term is more commonly used to define a closed system, as opposed to an open tank or pond. This system allows more species to be grown at a faster rate, extending the growing season, and if heated it can produce all year round.

US Biofuels looks forward to producing biofuel all year round from these greenhouses and hopes to complete the construction and renovations of the greenhouses by 2010. After which they anticipate to produce over 4 million gallons of biodiesel gas just from these 12 greenhouses alone

US Biofuels is also currently researching new strains of algae to better manufacture more precise mixtures for products such as jet fuel and other special use products. Planning to open a chain of 145 resale locations throughout the nation, US Biofuels looks forward to producing alternative fuels and help America achieve a greener, cleaner environment.

Welcome the Age of Biofuel with Shell!

Brian Yalung — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:13:52 +0000

Biofuels have been hearing it as far as the best alternative fuel for vehicles today. And for the people in Canada, they will get that chance as a certain amount of it will be blended into regular gasoline, something that should be interesting to note.

All this will take effect on June 10 where a Shell Station based in Canada will blend 10% cellulosic ethanol to all regular gasoline purchased. Cellulosic ethanol, as an end fuel, is identical to ethanol but it can offer up to 90% less lifecycle CO2 emissions than gasoline. It is a key part of Shell’s strategic investment and development program in sustainable biofuels.

“We’re proud of this world-first,” said Brian Foody, Chief Executive Officer of Iogen Corporation. “Building a demo plant is one thing but you then need to go through the process of operating the new technology at scale, learning, modifying and lowering costs. With the volumes we’re producing today, we’re confident about the future.”

Propel Fuels Holds Hydrogen Vehicle Show

Brian Yalung — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 04:53:48 +0000

People who want to catch a glimpse on what the era of cars running on alternative fuel is all about will be in for a treat as Propel Fuels holds a Hydrogen Vehicle Show in Seattle. Propel Fuels has arranged for a Hydrogen Vehicle Showdown in Seattle, providing a preview on the latest in hydrogen fuel cell vehicle designs.

The show also aims to properly educate people on the perks and benefits that renewable fuel brings to society, a familiar term we have been hearing for the past months in connection for the call towards new vehicles running on alternative sources of fuel. Fuel cell vehicles from Daimler, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen are on display, and experts from these companies are on hand to answer questions from Propel customers and alternative fuel enthusiasts.

“Propel’s fueling platform delivers advanced low carbon fuels including biodiesel from waste stream feedstocks like recycled fats and oils, and locally grown, marginal land crops like camelina,” said Rob Elam, President and Co-Founder of Propel. “Our fueling platform has the forward-flexibility to accommodate advanced fuels such as bio-methane, hydrogen and electric charging as these vehicle technologies gain momentum in the marketplace. Today’s event shows how close these vehicles are to commercialization.”

This event is not affiliated with Keetsa.

Algae BioDiesel Maker Opens New Plant

Brian Yalung — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 04:03:53 +0000

Algae fuel seems to be on the rise as a new plant is set to open in Indiana. Stellarwind Bio Energy, LLC, a producer of fuel oil from algae, announced the opening of its new small scale pilot production facility and corporate headquarters in Indianapolis. The plant has a 1/10th acre greenhouse, along with offices and an advanced research and development.

Company officials says their PhycoGenic ReactorTM will allow them to grow algae very cheaply… key to making the venture sustainable. They also claim that algae, which produces 10,000 gallons of fuel per acre each year, is a better biofuel feedstock than corn (150-330 gallons of ethanol per acre per year) or soybeans (70-100 gallons of biodiesel per acre per year). Plus, they say the oil from algae is easier to refine into gasoline, kerosene or aviation fuel.

Algae BioDiesel Maker Opens New Plant

PetroAlgae Becomes New Focus of Algae-Based Biofuels

Brian Yalung — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 00:44:34 +0000

Add another new fuel type in the world of algae-based biofuels. This year PetroAlgae will help demonstrate the near-term commercial viability of algae-based biofuel. In contrast with corn and soy, algae does not compete with the food supply, actually consumes C02 (2.2 times its own weight), leaves no toxic waste during the harvesting process, is essentially carbon neutral and is 25x to 100x more productive than other crop feedstocks. PetroAlgae can replace the entire world’s supply of diesel on a very small fraction of the Earth’s landmass.

While the benefits of algal fuel are clear, commercialization has so far been unattainable. While most algae companies to date have focused almost exclusively on the science of algae, PetroAlgae has focused on developing a turnkey modular construction that can be replicated on a massive scale globally. The PetroAlgae process ensures consistency and efficiency, which directly leads to lower costs.

AT&T Announced 15,000 New Eco-Friendly Vehicles

Brian Yalung — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:32:37 +0000

AT&T has announced that it will be investing in cleaner domestic vehicles which will cost about $565 million as part of its long-term strategy to deploy more than 15,000 alternative-fuel vehicles over the next 10 years. AT&T expects to spend an estimated $350 million to purchase about 8,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles and approximately $215 million to begin replacing its passenger cars with alternative-fuel models.

AT&T’s investment represents the largest U.S. corporate commitment to CNG vehicles to date. The new deployments will bring AT&T’s alternative-fuel fleet to more than 15,000 vehicles by 2019.

Bio Fuels Closes Schools

David Allen — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:00:30 +0000

During the winter occasionally, you expect the school to be closed because of the bad weather etc, but because of the rise in the use of bio fuels in school buses, the cold weather has been taking its toll on the smooth running of the engines.

This is because Minnesota state requires that a minimum of two per cent bio diesel in school buses, but when the temperature reaches -10F the fuel has a tendency to turn into a gel type substance and as a result the engine will not run. Yet this problem is set to get worse because before 2015 the State will be requiring a twenty per cent bio diesel concentration.

Morocco Takes out Sulphur in Diesel for Better Fuel

Brian Yalung — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:49:26 +0000

By taking out the sulphur in their diesel fuel, Morocco expects a vast improvement as far as its carbon emissions and pollution problems are concerned. This was announced as Morocco will be gradually introducing the “cleaner diesel” in their transition period until April of this year.

With this development comes the issue of pricing. This is one concern that Moroccans are addressing at the moment as the price for the new and improved diesel fuel is expected to cost them a bit. Despite being just a couple of dirhams, local car owners running on diesel power feel that this may be a bit too much than their pockets can handle.

Then again, why own a car if you cannot handle the fuel costs? We experienced the same problem when the oil prices spiked more than 100% so a couple of dirhams should not really hurt.

“The new 50 ppm diesel went on sale on January 1st, 2009, replacing 350 diesel at its base price, which is 10.13 dirhams a litre”

Queen Elizabeth Goes Green!

It looks like the green transformation that Prince Charles and initially instigated has rubbed of on Queen Elizabeth as well. She has reportedly converted her personal Bentley Limousine to run on bio-fuel, a move that should inspire most British locals to turn to green transportation as well.

Bentley has commented that the royal family is a staunch backer of Crewe’s initiative to change to bio-fuels, as Bentley targets that by the year 2012 all its versions will have the capacity for accommodating flex-fuel.

Lipodiesel Used to Power SUVs

Brian Yalung — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 07:00:49 +0000

This is something that was not done commercially but more of as an experiment but it looks like a liposuction doctor may have stumbled on something as far as putting to use extracted fats from a patient that underwent a liposuction procedure. The new fuel is being branded as Lipodiesel.

Dr. Alan Bittner, a leading Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon has made claims that he has discovered an alternative way of fueling cars by using removed fats from clients in liposuction procedures.

But the thing is you have to find him. It looks like he has moved following the closure of his clinic in Rodeo Drive. It was closed not because of his practice but more of legal issues regarding the licensing on carrying out operations by his girlfriend.

‘Not only do they get to lose their love handles or chubby belly, but they get to take part in saving the Earth.’ U.S. authorities are less impressed and have launched an inquiry into his claims that he is converting the waste fat into bio-diesel – or ‘lipodiesel’ as he calls it.

However, it is illegal in the U.S. to use human medical waste to power vehicles.

The doctor is being investigated by California’s public health department. Dr Bittner’s lawyer didn’t return calls seeking comment.

The magazine said his activities came to light after recent lawsuits filed by patients that allege he allowed his assistant and his girlfriend to perform surgery when neither held a medical licence.

Construction to start on DiCaprio’s island

Back in 2005 actor Leonardo Dicaprio paid $1.75 million for 104 acre island off the coast of Belize this had eco friendly people divided, while it is clear that the island will have major developments these will be done by using sustainable materials. This means that yes this is going to be a development on an untouched island, but its better this way rather than other less caring developers getting a hold of it.

The finishing off date is likely to be sometime during 2009, about a year later than expected and at a cost of around $30 million. However, the development has been done well with, buildings being carefully integrated into current landscapes, power provided by solar power, wind turbines and bio diesel.

Are Bio-Fuels The Reason for Oil Prices Declining?

Brian Yalung — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 03:09:48 +0000

Everyone knows by now that the continued oil price decline has become crazy and that it may go as far as reaching $1 a gallon. A crazy thought yet is something that many will surely love to hear.

But isn’t it contradicting in a way? Imagine that earlier this year, most of us were talking of the shift to electric cars and bio-fuels. Many have done it while others were choosing to take public transport or better yet walk or use bicycles.

With that in mind, did the demand for bio-fuels really become a prime reason or a contributing factor towards the oil price decline? Some have pointed towards the faltering world markets that is only normal. Yet you have to wonder if bio-fuels have a hand in it as well.

Overall, you would have to think, if this was the case, eco-friendly efforts towards improving the carbon footprint and pollution problems are bound to be walking in between. As oil prices continue to drop, do remember that people also look towards cheaper means of transportation. If they can make do with using their old jalopies rather than spend and convert or buy new ones that cater to bio-fuels or hybrid cars, they why bother about being eco-friendly?

Bonfire Eco-friendly Alternatives

Brian Yalung — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 19:37:29 +0000

What is it exactly about bonfires that places them into society? For some it may be a form of unity taken from tradition but they can also be environmental mishaps if not taken seriously. They can be great at times to have, especially in victory celebrations but surely we can do better than that.

Applying an eco-friendly touch, Belfast has undertaken a move to seek alternative solutions that will make bonfires eco-friendly. While they are still undergoing tests, for sure they are meant to improve tradition, something that is keenly seen especially for creating unity on occasions.

The fires, traditionally topped with a tri-colour, give off huge amounts of pollutants and some loyalist areas have already banned them on safety grounds.

Gasohol Offered in Vietnam

Brian Yalung — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:43:17 +0000

The timing could not have been better as far as providing alternative solutions to the oil requirements. We all know for a fact that fuel prices are dipping ($91 and falling the last I heard) but this does not mean that the search for alternative fuel should be stopped. In fact, the more alternative fuel that is available then the better it is for the market. For Vietnam, combining Ethanol and Petrol seems to be working for them as this is being distributed named Gasohol E5 by Hanoi.

PV Oil, a PetroVietnam subsidiary, announced on Monday that Gasohol E5 will be provided on a pilot basis in the districts of Dong Da and Cau Giay at VND16,500 ($1) per liter – VND500 and VND1,000 cheaper than A92 and A95 petrol respectively.

Gasohol E5, which is five percent ethanol and 95 percent gasoline, is produced by the PetroVietnam Biofuel Joint Stock Co., an affiliate of PV Oil. This fuel is cost-effective, eco-friendly and safe for engines, PV Oil says.

Plastic Grass Could Replace Plastic

David Allen — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 14:00:39 +0000

There is no doubt that plastic has been getting some bad press recently, in fact it probably goes back around ten or twelve years when plastic was first named as an eco badguy. It’s been deemed an eco badguy with good reason, too. After all, plastic hangs around the planet for hundreds of years after initial use, and sadly, the plastic pile just keeps growing.

Fortunately, a company called Metabolix, based in Massachusetts, has come up with a Bioplastic that they named Mirel. Mirel is actually grown within the blades of real grass through a unique process where the genes of the plastic and organic materials are merged. The end result is used to make anything that is traditionally made from plastic, while the by-product can be used for Biofuels.

Jatropha Curcass Seeds as Biodiesel

Brian Yalung — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:19:41 +0000

Jatropha Plant

In these times, where oil is perhaps one of the hot topics the world is talking about, the search for alternative fuel is rampant. We have seen the suggestions of such alternative fuel like algae and biodiesels. However, in India and the Philippines, a plant called Jatropha can perhaps add to these alternatives.

Jatropha is a tree, growing in the Gambia bush. The seeds contain oil that can be used as fuel: about 1/3 of the weight of the seeds is oil !
The oil can be used for:

Fuel for cars and generators.

Production of soap

As a fuel for cooking, so no longer need for charcoal or wood

Evening lights, as a substitute for candles

Increase your income by selling the oil

Source

While the whole world is clamoring for fuel, here is a potential answer to the oil woes. The only question is when will they consider it for inclusion towards alternative fuel and discoveries needed today.

Man blows up garage making bio fuel

David Allen — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:00:20 +0000

Most of us would have seen how bio fuels are made, it takes some basic equipment and the ability to be able brings the mixture to the boil! See at this point I get really put off from doing that, there is something about boiling a mixture of vegetable oil and diesel that simply scares the hell out of me.

However, some have the need and courage to produce their own fuel, the oil comes from fast food places and the cost of a litre is around 70p (140 cents) is a good deal, until it all goes wrong.

An unnamed man had built a bio fuel factory in his garage, when things went wrong. He suffered twenty per cent burns and had to be airlifted to hospital.

Potato Waste To Produce Electricity

Brian Yalung — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:50:46 +0000

We have seen various alternative ways to create energy and this one is something worth looking into. From the usual solar energy panels to hydrogen power, imagine energy being generated from potato waste. Now that is something.

In my previous post I already put out a post that some groups in the world today are looking to transform their trash to energy. While there were no specifics, this is because there are a lot of different waste categories to choose from. It is not solely from “trash” alone.

Potato Waste

Farmer Philip Johnson asked Durham County Council for permission to produce electricity – enough to heat 1,200 homes – from potato waste from the Walkers’ crisp factory, in Peterlee.

With the request granted, about 1,000 tonnes of potatoes a year will be pumped through an anaerobic digester, along with about 7,000 tonnes of agricultural crops and 2,000 tonnes of manure.

That will generate 500kw of electricity for the National Grid and 8,000 tonnes of fertiliser.

Just found a neat review of our green blog, Keetsa on Max Gladwell.com, Max is not real. Well, there is no Max Gladwell, the blog is actually run by a Rob Reed. But who is Rob?

From his site:

Max Gladwell was founded and created by Rob Reed. Rob is a career journalist, entrepreneur, and marketing executive. Most recently, he’s been working on a Web 2.0 startup in the health & green living space. Previously, he helped to launch Conserv Fuel, LA’s first green filling station and the only source of E85 ethanol in Los Angeles. He managed marketing and communications for Willie Nelson’s BioWillie biodiesel brand, launched the Citizen’s School Bus initiative with Julia Roberts, and wrote The Way of the Snowboarder, a book on the history and people of snowboarding. Rob lives in Santa Monica, CA, with his wife and daughter.

Quite clever, i like it. Many book authors use a different name than their birth name, the practice is called using a pen name, ghostwriting, and/ or using an alias. You have to read his interview page, especially the part where Rob/Max answers this question: MG: So where do you and Max Gladwell part ways? Too funny.

He writes on social media, with a tight focus on green social media. He profiles a variety of environment friendly websites, blogs, social networking tools, and the very popular web 2.0 space. Do pay him a visit.

As for the Keetsa profile, Max writes,

The range of content is tremendous. Truly something for everyone in the green world.

We are proud of our eco oriented blog, and we hope to continue to bring you green news in todays fast paced world. We also love it, when you send in tips and leave comments. Do check out Max’s blog.

Ineos Plan to Turn Waste to Bioethanol

Brian Yalung — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:54:58 +0000

What do you do with excess garbage that landfills can no longer accommodate? For most, the immediate answer would be to recycle them. But for Ineos, turning waste into fuel is similar to turning trash to gold.

By 2011, this is what Ineos predicts to happen. They are planning to put up a large scale waste to energy facility which will ultimately produce bioethanol and help address the growing fuel problem the world is experiencing at the moment.

Ineos claims that its bioethanol, which can either be blended with petrol or replace it altogether, reduces greenhouse gases by 90% and avoids using food crops in the production process.

Mr Williams said: “The fact that we have been able to decouple second generation biofuel from food is a major breakthrough, and we expect our technology to provide cost competitive, sustainable, renewable fuels.

Oil Prices and Global Warming

Brian Yalung — Mon, 26 May 2008 18:00:03 +0000

Both these occurrences, global warming and the continuing oil price surge have been economic catastrophes that most people have to deal with. It has been getting harder to live in this world today and apparently each effort seems to be getting futile by the day. With these things in mind, where does the government fit in?

There are two ways to look at it. One is to see how government can benefit from it. Additional taxes and of course connecting them with global warming for a justifiable declaration. No one would bother to check in depth although the economists would do their own pencil pushing.

The other is of course the hands-off policy to which the government will wait for everything to settle and then make its move. Either way, the government will benefit while also taking credit from it once the worst is over for these two dilemmas besetting us today.

Our government is jumping aboard the global warming bandwagon in a big way. Ignoring any facts to the contrary, they continue to fuel a juggernaut that will result in more government, more taxes, more ‘crises’ and more useful idiots. Even Republicans are on board, with John McCain turning green with a twist guaranteed to garner liberal votes. He’s proposed a ‘cap and trade’ system (called redistribution of wealth) to help battle climate change. It used to be only liberals who had the hubris to think man can control climate.

Kubota Makes Environmentally Friendly Engines for Kanga Loaders

Brian Yalung — Sun, 18 May 2008 18:07:21 +0000

Engines and machines are important for rendering service, more so for businesses that make use of the large machines where diesel is the sure fuel to be used in them. These are the obvious problems that most people have to deal with today and apparently, a move has to be made in addressing not only the fuel that they are using but the engines that run these various job orders.

According to Kanga, it will take responsibility to ensure the environment is given the respect and prominence demanded by society, even though its primary business is engine-powered materials handling and earthmoving machines.

Kubota, a Japanese engine maker, claims the reduction of exhaust pollution has always been an aim in its innovation and development strategy. All Kubota products, including tractors and mini-excavators, are fitted with the technology.

G-Oil, a product from Green Earth Technologies, is an eco-friendly motor oil that will soon be made available to consumers. It is based on animal fat and is petroleum free. The animal fats come from meat processing utilities. These are waste fats from cattle instead of the more commonly known fossil-fuel.

Also, the packaging is eco-friendly as well. They are recycled milk jugs and recycled paper labels using soy inks for the printing on them.

“We turn that into liquid form and use nanotechnology to have it perform in lubricant format,” explained company CEO Jeff Marshall.

If you want your region to adopt the green phenomena and start gearing towards the alternative use of biodiesel to reduce carbon emissions, leading by example with all machinery use by a public service utility vehicles is sure to kick off in the right manner. Such is an example used by the Rugby Borough Council which has announced that it shall be operating all diesel-powered vehicles with biofuel to help reduce the growing greenhouse gas emissions we all hear of today.

“Bio-diesel blend fuels are an important steptowards breaking our reliance on fossil fuels for road transport, whilst simultaneously reducing carbon dioxide emission levels.”

In total 70 vehicles, such as those used on the refuse and recycling, street cleansing, grounds maintenance and highways services will switch to this ‘cleaner and greener’ fuel.

Greensynthetic to Sell Eco-Friendly Motor Oil

Brian Yalung — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 22:33:07 +0000

In this world where the worsening oil prices are headlining the newspapers, the search for alternative fuel to help resolve the problem continues. Apparently, Greensynthetic, a carrier of the highest quality and eco-friendly Amsoil synthetic oil products in the world today.

So most would say it is similar to the biofuels that are continuously being developed in most regions today. But as far as tests and adhering towards the needs of most machines and vehicles today, Amsoil is a known commodity that will be good for these engines.

There are more products expected to rise over the horizon. But for now, Amsoil is up there and hoping to serve as an alternative resource for people in need of oil.

All the Amsoil products carried by this merchant are made exclusively from homegrown soybeans, not only contributing to a healthier environment for our country, but also a healthier economy in support of American farmers. They operate under the notion of “green chemistry” or “sustainable chemistry,” which refers to environmentally friendly chemicals and processes that result in reduced waste, safer products and reduced use of energy and resources. With horror story news of continued oil leaks and controversy surrounding foreign policy with regard to oil in the Middle East, it’s nice to know there are companies like this that attack the issue from every angle.

Biofuel Crops Inviting Global Warming Trouble?

Brian Yalung — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 14:30:57 +0000

As far as finding alternatives towards energy resources is concerned, biofuels are indeed aimed at helping this area of concern. But as far as addressing global warming as a whole is concerned, there may have been some overlooked aspects such as carbon emissions that may worsen our pollution problem.

Apparently, the efforts to address one concern of green living is commendable. However, we should also consider the little things associated with the whole problem and these in turn may negate the effort for a better environment.

“Our study found that any biofuel that causes clearing of natural ecosystems will increase global warming,” Joe Fargione, a scientist for The Nature Conservancy, told CTV.ca.

“This is the first study to fully account for the effects of land clearing.”

Fargione said the carbon lost by converting forests, grasslands and peatlands outweighs the carbons saved by using the resulting biofuels instead of fossil fuels.

Biofuel Crops Inviting Global Warming Trouble?

Ethanol Fuel: Safe to Use, Bad to Produce

Brian Yalung — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 02:43:22 +0000

We often praise the use of alternative fuel especially ethanol which is produce from natural resources such as corn and other renewable resources. While this shift has been obviously a big boost to us, we fail to see the process of producing them which is probably an issue as far as electricity use is concerned.

Apparently the amount of electricity used is high and while they boast of using coal as a means to offset this, coal is another source of producing carbon dioxide which in turn has become harmful to the environment.

So the search for good means to live the eco-friendly living exists and it should all start from the manufacturing process beforehand.

However, it takes a lot electricity to make ethanol, and power companies say the most cost-effective way to produce that electricity is from coal.

Environmentalists say that coal is the nation’s biggest source of carbon dioxide.

They say more earth-friendly fuels like natural gas should be used to produce the needed electricity.

Ethanol Fuel: Safe to Use, Bad to Produce

Focusing on Hybrid Cars for Fuel Efficiency

Brian Yalung — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 11:29:15 +0000

Apparently, it is no longer a world where flashy cars are the first thing that people want to consider. It is now an age where people have to be wise when purchasing a brand new car and one of the key attributes is fuel efficiency. It is evident that most of these conditions stem from the fact that people today are increasingly aware of the threat of greenhouse gases and pollution and paired with the strict compliance standards that has been pegged for car manufacturers, cars being released today normally showcase this attribute to close a sale.

Hybrids, advanced diesels and green alternatives are pushing aside the traditional displays of speed and chrome at this week’s Detroit auto show, a nod to a new fuel-efficient reality for car makers.

Automakers, only weeks after Congress approved tougher fuel-efficiency requirements, are broadening their array of cars that get more on a gallon of gasoline, cutting carbon dioxide emissions and using alternative power sources.

The New Green Cadillac Provoq

Brian Yalung — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:37:32 +0000

General Motors is a world-renowned name in the car industry and one of its popular brands include that of the classic Cadillac. We will all recall that the Cadillac is one of the car classics ever to be heard anywhere today and truly, its evolution and existence to this day has been even more pushed with the new features that include the eco-friendly features starting off with the gas consumption savings.

It is expected to get 300 miles on a tank of hydrogen, and the fuel cell–GM’s fifth generation of fuel cells–is half the size of the last one, which increases internal room and storage. On the roof sits a solar panel for running the car’s electronics.

To increase aerodynamics, shutters automatically cover up the air vents on the grill at high speeds.

“It will go up to 100 miles an hour and from zero to 60 in 8.5 seconds,” Wagoner said.

Well they finally done it, the hemp powered car! Yes that’s right it car that has travelled over 13,000 miles and visited over 50 cities in just 92 days, in that time the car used up around 600 gallons of the hemp fuel.

Hemp fuel is actually a bio diesel that could run on an ordinary diesel engine without any modifications etc, there are many types of bio diesel around which means that eventually there will be a choice of which flavour fuel you desire.

Projected Oil Prices in 2008

Brian Yalung — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 00:06:44 +0000

Apparently, oil has become increasingly expensive and based on expert predictions, the current trends we experience today are only the tip of the iceberg. By 2008, we can expect them to rise all the more and perhaps see the last quarter as the only relieving site to which everything will stabilize.

Alternative fuel has been doing its part these days to provide people assistance. But apparently, there is still lack of trust and confidence on these oil price increases we experience today. We never know the impact or side-effects that these alternative fuels such as biofuels would have on our cars and that is indeed something risky.

Whether these predictions are true or not, we will see the trends by next year. But if studies are to be used together with market trends, then perhaps there is a chance that we may find the end of the oil crisis soon.

From Algae to Bio fuel

David Allen — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:00:40 +0000

It seems that bio fuels do not necessarily need to come from grains and seeds, but other products too, such as Algae. And yet this bio mass is perfect for the production of a bio fuel. This is because for one it such as in carbon dioxide, this reduces the amount in the atmosphere and then it can also be made into the bio fuel, so there you it two great features for algae.

Algae grows up to forty times faster than most other plants which means if compared to other bio fuel crops then the algae wins again because it an acre will produce between ten and one hundred times more energy, cool!

From Algae to Bio fuel

Oil Price Hikes are an Economic Sabotage

Brian Yalung — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 14:49:20 +0000

So the prices of crude oil prices are continue to rise and while we all know the next thing to follow would be higher oil and gas prices, there are some private companies who are taking advantage of the situation. Not to say that they do not have the right to raise their oil meters, it is just that some are becoming too advanced that has led some economists in the world to conclude that it is becoming and economic sabotage to any region today.

Indeed, it can be deemed as an economic sabotage in the sense that people are pretty much speechless on how to cope up with the continuous rise in oil prices. Some have been monitoring the biofuel development progress while some have resorted to other means of transportation to save on cost.

However, while these are all considered the best alternatives, it should not be a cause for most oil companies to abuse the situation. We all need money but resorting towards oil price hikes at astronomical levels without reason is simply too much.

Oil Price Hikes are an Economic Sabotage

Crude Fuel Costs Will Change Lives

Brian Yalung — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 08:00:25 +0000

Apparently, many people are still unaware at the problems that the crude oil crisis is imposing. It is not only limited towards transportation and manufacturing problems to which machinery need oil to operate efficiently. Looking beyond the simple acronyms, crude oil is present in all the things we have right now ranging from goods to products.

Machinery is needed along with delivery costs. It is not primarily about getting to places as far as individual are concerned. That is another issue needed to be addressed. But the fact is, all products and services need this little area of cost of direct materials and resources to produce one product.

So don’t be surprised why commodities are rising as well. It is a chain reaction waiting to explode and we just have to be ready for it.

Crude Fuel Costs Will Change Lives

Biofuel No Longer Looking Financially Attractive

Brian Yalung — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:14:52 +0000

We are all aware that the rising cost of crude oil in the market is nearing the $100 mark. Ideally, we would all say that this would not matter since alternative fuel sources are here to save the day. Apparently that was what we thought.

While we are all focused on the alternative fuel towards ever increasing oil prices in the world today, we have forgotten to take note that even the raw materials needed to produce biofuels have also been affected as well.

Raw materials needed to produce biofuel, made from farm crops such as soybean oil and palm oil, have been increasing in cost as well, making them go in line with the increasing trend of crude oil today.

A sad development but true. Looks like we are left at a standstill until something concrete and feasible comes out from these efforts.

Gas emissions are one of the normal things that people know as the main contributor towards the whole pollution mess and the global warming fiasco. Aside from making lives unhealthy, they also make the various natural elements in the world declining since their harmful effects are making the world more dangerous to live in.

All over the world, all people are doing their part to control and contain this emission problem. We can see penalties and other recourses and gladly, most of them are pretty much on the right track.

Flying ships of the future

David Allen — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 17:00:42 +0000

Imagine seeing these machines flying over your town or city, at first this would look as if the aliens have arrived, and yet this is a new design for airships, could this be the air transport of the future?

Travelling by airship is coming back as it is considered to very eco friendly, but it is not as fast as a plane, although it can faster than a ship, so there is so prospect there if the package is right. So that this particular airship nicknamed the turtle is in the design stages, but it will be made from either titanium, aluminium or even stainless steel, with helium giving it the lift and on board bio diesel generators which be there for a back up should the primary power a type of solar power will provide the airship with its trust.

Altcar Expo Unveils Transports of the Future

Brian Yalung — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 16:21:02 +0000

For people who want a view of what the future of cars or transport vehicles have in store for them, much can be seen from the various models spearheading the Altcar Expo at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica Air Center in California.

A lot of talk has been roaming around and some have had their chance to see them on the news. However, the opportunity to test drive these new cars manufactured accordingly towards green standards will surely be something that will interest the people curios of what tomorrow has to give them.

“After last year’s hugely successful AltCar Expo, the City of Santa Monica took the logical step to incorporate alternative energy into the program,” says Craig Perkins, environmental and public works director for the City of Santa Monica. “Like last year, at least 75 percent of the products and services on view at the Expo are perfectly viable alternatives that are currently available for purchase, and the test-drive opportunities should help speed the decision-making process for smart consumers.”

BioJet Makes History as First 100% Biodiesel Flight

Missy — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 01:45:41 +0000

In Reno, NV the first flight powered by 100% biodiesel took place two weeks ago with the Bio Jet.

The Bio Jet is the creation of Green Flight International and although it has flown in the past with a mixture of jet fuel and biodiesel, last week was the first time, that it flew with only biodiesel. The plane is a L-29 military aircraft and this is what the founders of Green Flight International had to say in response to their concept:

“Out of concern for our global environment, Green Flight International was conceived by Douglas Rodante in April 2006 to serve as a platform for future development in the use of environmentally-friendly fuels in aviation and elsewhere. “It is imperative that the global community take immediate steps to reduce our carbon footprint, because we can no longer afford to wait while our environment continues to degrade.” said Rodante. “By implementing even a small amount of bio-degradable fuel in our transportation system we can significantly reduce the CO2 (greenhouse gasses) and NOx (the precursor to smog) that contribute to global warming.”

Going Green with Alternative Oil Residues

Brian Yalung — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 05:14:04 +0000

The world has always been in a crisis. This covers practically all areas as the economies of most nations are faltering one by one. Oil, one of the important resources that these nations need has been rising to outrageous proportions thus pushing people to find alternatives.

Green development such as fossil fuels have been one of these alternatives. People have used and been happy with it and to date, a large chunk of the world still lacks the overall coverage of the alternative resource that the world truly needs.

Companies used to shelve environmental initiatives when times got tough, but now, with oil so expensive, spending on green projects is expected to accelerate.

Are Automakers to Blame for Global Warming?

Brian Yalung — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 18:48:46 +0000

From a standpoint, car manufacturers may indeed be put in the spot towards key contributors to the ever-growing issue of global warming. While there have been various cases filed against them, lack of sufficient evidence may just twist and turn the tables as quickly as they were concluded.

In fairness, automakers have taken heed of the call to be more green-friendly but this does not happen overnight. It takes time to happen. While a lot of the released vehicles undergo the green standards examination, it cannot be denied that prior released models are perhaps out there and still possess an obvious threat toward global warming.

“One of the principles of tort law is that damages should not be speculative,” Brown said, wondering aloud whether Lockyer could prove “causation” between the automakers’ products and shrinkage in the Sierra snow pack, which was one of Lockyer’s claims.

Once he was elected, however, Brown did the sort of political pirouette for which he was justly famous as governor three decades ago, declaring that the suit was “a solid case and we’re going to pursue it vigorously . . . to prevent the catastrophic consequences of this global warming problem.”

“With the current public, state and congressional focus on global warming and possible solutions,” Brown continued, “this is the right time for the state and the automakers to find cooperative approaches and resolve litigation in a constructive manner.”

The New Value of Algae for Biodiesel Resources

Brian Yalung — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 10:36:00 +0000

Rather than sink and die, algae microbes have been known to simply appear and later on die in the ocean, these are now seen to be a new alternative towards helping address the climate change that has been evidently present in the world today.

Biodiesel is being linked as an extract from the algae, which are known to pack denser energy than most plants.

“Mr Munford’s proposal is to harvest the algae, rather than allowing them to die and sink. He notes that many species of algae pack a far denser punch energy-wise than the plants now used as energy crops. In particular, they produce oils of the sort valued as biodiesel, and are attracting a lot of attention from scientists and entrepreneurs looking for fuels to replace mineral oils.”

5th Biodiesel Plant To Open in Mississippi

Missy — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 02:01:53 +0000

In my resident state of Mississippi, the fifth and largest biodiesel plant is set to open soon. At full capacity the Scott Petroleum Biodiesel Plant will produce 20 million gallons of B100 a year, making it the largest in the Magnolia state.

This biodiesel will be a blend of soybean oil and animal fat mixed with traditional petroleum diesel.

With the growing biodiesel industry the demand for soybean crops is skyrocketed, which is creating a boon for local Mississippi farmers, who will see an increase in the price paid to them for soybeans.

Why biodiesel?

Biodiesel is cleaner fuel and made from renewable resources, not to mention a local domestic product, which means less reliance on foreign oil.

The new biodiesel will be available to both commercial and public users, here is a list of the diesel service stations from Scott Petroleum.

Automakers Head the Global Warming Party

Brian Yalung — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 13:26:52 +0000

It is evident that one key aspect of global warming includes that of contributing towards overall pollution stemming from vehicles that produce harmful gases from transport use today. While people may be cited for such, it all still boils down towards automakers on how they can address the said fuel burning vehicles and remedying it by placing better engines for less pollution resulting from them.

A lot of these car manufacturing plants have made public in stating that they have been addressing the green requirement situation but surely, these are limited to some product lines. There are still other models that need to be fine tuned and unless they are ready for lined-up criticism, they better do something about this issue on smoke pollution fast.

LPG for Car Fuel?

Brian Yalung — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 00:58:03 +0000

It has been something that has gone as far as becoming the supposed savior of rising fuels today. LPG, primarily known to be used as a cooking element in canisters has been offered in the market as an alternative fuel to cars today. The question is if it is safe and how it functions accordingly towards sensitive car engines that may not be fond of such an alternative fuel consumption outside that of standard gasoline and diesel.

There is of course the conversion kit for use of LPG fuel but while the price may be hefty, is it a feasible investment for savings?

Many are hailing it as a good answer to stay away from having to pay stiff prices for the rising oil and gasoline prices. However, its safety and contribution towards the evident environmental needs is another.

Certainly, it is something that needs further assistance. But basing it on how people are approaching the whole LPG issue, will it stick or will just remain a good cooking regimen as it is commonly known today.
