What about using lawn clippings I would think those work to you now so we definitely generate a huge surplus of them

What is gas production per ton of fresh Napier grass

[@anilsharma-ev2my]

Mix this grass with yeast cell ➕ hydrogenation ➕ water ➕ pineapple ➕ enzymes which turned biomass into liquid and then do hydrogenation so we found some solid fuel like ghee Whole Indian try to do this type of work in various gaushala across the India by biogas biomass fuel products

So any news on that ? We really need that ethanol now guys....

[@matthiasknutzen6061]

Corn is still the major source for ethanol, sadly because it barely reduce emissions compared to gasoline. Politicians don't dare stop subsidizing the corn farmers.

[@sierraecho884]

@@matthiasknutzen6061 Okay they don´t stop subsidizing but what about better alternatives then ? Now we change to battery electric, this will probably kill the planet even faster.
