What the hell does my use of bio-fuels have to do with what is being developed in that area?
It goes to credibility of which with me at least, you have none. I might have some respect if you were actually dedicated to the cause you preach so much about and have some real world experience with it but using E-10 occasionally is a complete cop out.
I have looked at using E85 but that is unavailable where I live. Otherwise I probably would have fitted an E85 conversion kit on my car. The conversion kits are pretty cheap and easy enough to install.
Another cop out. I personally know guys that drive over 80KM each way to get E-85 in bulk to do them a couple of weeks because they have converted their vehicles and believe in it and just don't mouth off like some. . I give them wiring harnesses out of wrecked Cars to make the setup easier for them.
Now please add something to the discussion which has some scientific grounds.
You first! We have been asking you to do that for weeks but the best you can do is propaganda websites from vested interests and Wiki. Meanwhile you bleat and sook about everyone else having to provide scientific proof of anything you dispute.
Perhaps you care to provide some numbers and results from your experiments with bio-fuels.
I have run used veh oil in vehicles, mainly 95-100% for 16 years. I have made tens of thousands of litres of Biodiesel. I have run generators and all manner of diesel engines on it for longer than vehicles. I have made over a dozen burners for metal casting, heating domestic hot water and heating swimming pools as well as a bunch of other uses.
I have only made a couple of batches of Alcohol fuel because it is too much effort and energy investment for too little return. Wether on an individual or industrial scale, you can't get past the fact that the microbes you need in the mash are only ever going to reach 20% before they basically wipe themselves out. You have to heat 100% of the volume of the mash to get 20% ( at extreme best) worth of final product.
then there is the energy i pulverising the waste product if that is what you are going to be using and all the other parts of the process.
Had you EVER got your hands dirty YOU would know all this and see why all the hoopla you go on with is flawed from the start.
What numbers do you want me to provide? There is nothing I can say that will back up your claims, Quite the opposite.
With all that hands on experience I still say Biofuels are not going to provide any amount of LIQUID fuels worth a damn (firewood doesn't count!) now or into the foreseeable future.
I asked what your predictions were for Biofuel production based on all the sits you read but as usual and as predicted, you don't answer but give a lot of waffle to avoid backing up anything you say or being shown up for the baseless rants you go on with.
BTW if you think bio-fuels don't count then check this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwide_energy_supply. In 2012 bio-fuel and waste already provided 10% of the world's energy.
Bet you felt really smart when you dug that up didn't you?
Sorry, Firewood does not count and that is EXACTLY what is counted in that figure. You really want us to believe that liquid bio fuels as we are specifically talking about provide more energy than Nuke, Hydro, solar and wind... Put together?
You are that desperate to convince us of your religion you would try something as laughable as that on?
And what about your own stipulations of something scientific from 2017 or later?
Sorry, You are a joke mate and no other way to put it because that is the plain truth.
