Ottawa’s new biofuels policy will cost $5.50 for every $1 in benefits it provides
Want to make $100? It’s easy. You send me $550. Cash or cheque. In exchange, I will send you a cool $100. Cash or cheque. Or a money order, if you prefer.
Is that a deal or what? No? Only a fool would fall for this?

When most think of biofuels they picture cars running on vegetable oil, while those in the know rarely look beyond biodiesel and ethanol. However, now the UKs Carbon Trust is hopeful that a new transport biofuel can become a commercial success.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – A United Nations panel has approved the inclusion of biofuels in a global scheme to reduce carbon emissions, a move that should boost investments in such projects, a Brazilian government official said on Friday.

Munich, 18 November 2009 – The technology group The Linde Group and the US company Algenol Biofuels LLC have agreed to collaborate in a joint development project in order to identify the optimum management of carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) for Algenol’s unique algae and photobioreactor technology. This cooperation will see the companies join forces to develop cost-efficient technologies that capture, store, transport and supply CO2 for Algenol’s proprietary process for the production of third-generation (3G) biofuels out of carbon dioxide (CO2), salt water and algae, as well as remove oxygen from the photobioreactor.

Washington, D.C. – Fossil fuel-related CO2 emissions will drop by five per cent in 2009 in the U.S., mainly due to the economy, according to a new forecast by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Options being developed globally include the biochemical conversion of CO2 into algal biofuel, the thermochemical conversion into methanol and the biocatalytic or solar photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to fuels.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is being hailed as the answer to the globe’s most pressing question: what to do with the 27 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emitted yearly from the burning of fossil fuels? Touted as the most promising interim solution to deal with the greenhouse gas responsible for global warming, CCS still remains unproven, costly and will not be commercially available for another 10-20 years. Meanwhile scientists are exploring alternatives to CCS by capitalizing on CO2 as a commodity instead of treating it as a waste.
