Developing Negative Carbon Gasoline with Cool Planet Biofuels

Cool Planet Biofuels will soon be testing their newly developed negative carbon gasoline on the streets of California. They say that they are able to produce a revolutionary fuel from biomass – woodchips, corncobs and grass. What’s more is that they can alter it to become a blendstock for current E-10 gasoline or even as a drop in fuel that entirely replaces the fossil fuels that run the vehicles that we have today.

Cool Planet Biofuels is backed up by companies such as GE, Google Ventures, ConocoPhillips, NRG Energy and BP – companies who can further assist with the development of their next generation negative carbon and cost competitive fuel.

Should they deliver what they are saying, dependence on fossil fuels will be lessened and atmospheric carbon dioxide target levels are more achievable.

Alternative Fuels: If We Cannot Compete With Price, Go For Value

Gas Prices Continue to Increase

As advances in technology, particularly in fracking, make it easier for us to extract oil and natural gas, alongside discoveries of more and more oil and coal deposits, the lure to lavishly use fossil fuels is ever more present. Had it not been for the high prices of fuels at the pump, the issues regarding climate change might have been set aside long ago.

Carbon emissions harm the environment and will bring about catastrophic weather conditions. Unless new technologies are developed to combat these harmful effects the need to improve and develop alternative energy sources is huge. With lesser incentives for alternative energy usage and development being pushed, the sector must work harder to be more competent with fossil fuels.

If we could not yet find a cheaper alternative to fossil fuels, we should at least try to develop a more valuable replacement.

A Defense of the Energy Agenda Against the US Auto Dealers Assault

US automobile dealers are taking matters in their own hands in their fight against the government’s agenda favoring reducing greenhouse gas emissions, alternative fuel development and fuel efficient technologies. Their arguments, although valid, may not be entirely concrete. Here are some points:

Should the Ethanol Mandate, Tariffs and Subsidies Be Allowed to Continue

Talks on the allocation for ethanol tariffs and subsidies will heat up once more as they are due to expire this year. With the current high prices of food products as a result of the nearly 40% allocation of corn for producing ethanol, will it be wise to remove the mandate to reduce this? With policy makers and concerned groups lobbying for the removal of the tariffs and subsidies on ethanol, what would happen if they are allowed to continue?

Do We Need to Focus Investments In Biomass Power Plants Now?

Amid rising prices of electricity and fossil fuels, do we need to focus investments in power plants that use biomass as fuels now?
