Wagger Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 The main problem with Bio fuel is that we either grow plants to produce it instead of growing plants for food. Same as using water to produce hydrogen in a area in drought. Already we are paying farmers more to have solar farms than producing food. It would be better to use waste products to produce fuel. Crap and compost! If you use old chip oil in your diesel, it will smell of what was cooked in it before and give the game away. On farms long ago, my old uncles etc poured waste oil into diesel tractor fuel tanks and used it in two stroke mowers. No wonder they died young.

Around here there are a growing number of farms the use their waste and produce methane which they then use as gas or to generate electricity.

Around here many people use their waste methane to clear rooms. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have people walking round our local town with facemasks on, claiming they don't want to catch it. We also have incredibly obnoxious people stating that we should all wear them as they hate others' bad breath or poor teeth. Most of those would benefit from a full-face mask themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what fuel we come up with, if it saves the driver money, the Gov will tax it so that it doesn't. London has floated the idea of charging EVs per mile to make up some of the lost revenue from ICE`s, they`ll probably have another faux consultation as they did with ULEZ, they already have the infrastructure, and then do exactly what they want anyway, and not just EV`s, coming to a town near you soon, the next money grab. I would charge Prius`s a million pounds a mile. S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Methane produced, unless subjected to rigorous "cleaning", contains several "nasties" one of which is highly corrosive sulphur, which when burned produces Sulphuric acid, as a condesate.
