Biobutanol can run in any gasoline engine with no modifications and, like ethanol, has a higher octane rating than normal gasoline. It has the additional advantages that it has a higher energy density than ethanol, can be transferred in our existing pipelines, and can be used as an additive in either gasoline or diesel fuel. Like ethanol, biobutanol is fermented by microorganisms from sugars, which are broken down from raw feedstocks and mixed with water. Since the cost of the feedstock is the major cost factor, the ability to use low cost non-food feedstocks is a major challenge to cost effective butanol production and much work is being done to develop microbes that can be used with a variety of feedstocks. Cobalt technology will change the biofuel industry by:

And, after 30 years of encountering all sorts of wacky warming hype, this is saying a lot.
