Have we discussed this process before? if so velly solly. Biofuels have a big part to play in alternatives but i am not too happy with using food crops for this.This solution could work on marginal land.

Huber’s method is for making biofuels from cellulose, the non-edible portion of plant biomass and a major component of grasses and wood. At $10 to $30 per barrel of oil energy equivalent, cellulosic biomass is significantly cheaper than crude oil. The U.S. could potentially produce 1.3 billion dry tons of cellulosic biomass per year, which has the energy content of four billion barrels of crude oil. That’s more than half of the seven billion barrels of crude oil consumed in our country each year. What’s more, biomass as an energy crop could increase the national farm income by $3 to $6 billion per year.
