Biofuel is Not Bio-diesel, Bioethanol

It is wrongly understood by energy expert that biofuel is biotehanol, Bio-diesel.

Volatile like ethanol, diesel are needed, because of the rapid explosion demanded by Internal Combustion engines (ICEs).

1. ICE needs high purity, highly combustible liquid, gas.
ICE is highly complex, heavy, exploding instead of burning, resulting in high temperature, that even nitrogen also oxidize into pollutants, that need catalytic converter to break them down.
ICE must be replaced.

2. Volatile biofuel is fermenting sugar, celluloid into volatiles e.g. diesel, alcohols.
It uses only small part of bio produce while throwing away massive waste which are carbon rich, and generated a lot of carbon dioxide during the fermentation process. Even pure sugar, C12H22O11, when it converted to ethanol, C2H5OH, half of the 12 carbon is oxidize to CO2 during the fermentation process.

This is costly, unproductive.(the energy produced may be equal to the fuel, fertilizer, put into them, what about irrigation, labor.....)

This was highlighted in Singapore by Solvere to MIT Energy Team led by MIT President Susan Hockfield on Jan 22, 2009 in Singapore, 2 Days after Obama inauguration. The team concurred, but MIT need to keep the world informed and avoid major mistakes, costing not just the mother earth, but every penny, every drop of water, every grain of our food.

Solutions:

With rapid advancement of motors, generators, low voltage applications, we need not use ICE anymore. We can use turbo-electric generators for heavy duty, long distance transportation. With Turbo- we can burn low grade bio-waste directly, even without boilers.

Micro-turbine, as proposed by MIT Epstein is possible, if we use an Invention "Direct Thermal Transport" DTT to form high speed, high directional cyclone combustion to burn at lower temperature(no Nitrogen Pollution), even wet municipal waste(cyclone will dry up and prepare these for final combustion), to drive turbine directly (high speed, high directional exhaust) may not need steam boiler.
