International, Inc. In 2014, KATZEN will start up two new multi-feedstock plants on opposite sides of the world. Impress Ethanol Co., Ltd., located in Chachoengsao, Thailand, will produce 200,000 liters per day of fuel ethanol from both cassava chips and cane molasses. In Paysandú, Uruguay, Bioetanol Paysandú will produce 211,200 liters per day of fuel ethanol from grain sorghum with the additional flexibility to operate using corn, wheat or barley.

Gas to oil technology. What Matters in Biofuels and Where Are We? [Editor's note - this contributed piece from Mr.

Khosla is essentially an executive summary of the larger primer which we will publish in two installments in the coming days.] Given the likely continued dominance of the internal combustion engine, cellulosic and sugar-derived fuels offer one of the lowest risk advances to quickly and affordably achieve low-carbon transportation. Furthermore, substituting higher value bio-chemicals for petro-chemicals, will promote enhanced sustainability across a wealth of industries and offer a critical step along the path to weaning the world off of oil.

There are also measurable economic and national security benefits to drastically reducing the reliance on global oil. Amyris was a signature IPO in this space. In addition to Amyris, several biofuels companies are actually starting their businesses with high value chemicals, a lower-risk pathway to profitably move down the cost and efficiency learning curve to fuels.

These include anything from straw, wood waste and municipal sewerage, to crops such as corn or sugar cane.

Ethanol is a type of biofuel derived from agricultural products with high sugar or starch content. Another name for biofuels is agrofuels. The recent expansion of ethanol from corn production sounds like an attractive way to satisfy our appetite for inexpensive liquid fuel from a renewable resource such as corn. But is it justified? Is the large-scale domestic production of corn-based ethanol going to provide "energy independence" from foreign oil as claimed by politicians, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions, revitalize farming, keep the economy growing, and replace the global decline in petroleum production with the advent of peak oil?

There is no question that ethanol can be used to power an internal combustion engine. Net Energy Limits of Corn Production Politicians have been eager to help. Other Impacts. The False Promise of Biofuels. Range fuels was a risky but tantalizing bet. The high-tech start-up, begun by former Apple executive Mitch Mandich, attracted millions of dollars in private money plus commitments for up to $156 million in grants and loans from the U.S. government.

The plan was to build a large biofuels plant in Soperton, Ga. Each day the facility would convert 1,000 tons of wood chips and waste from Georgia’s vast pulp and paper industry into 274,000 gallons of ethanol. “We selected Range Fuels as one of our partners in this effort,” said Samuel Bodman, then secretary of energy, at the groundbreaking ceremony in November 2007, “because we really believe that they are the cream of the crop.” That crop has spoiled in the ground. Earlier this year Range Fuels closed its newly built biorefinery without selling a drop of ethanol.
