[Bioconversion] Use of Fats/Oils (was Re: biogas yield of switchgrass

[Paul Harris]

G'day All,

I think a change of topic really deserves a new Subject Line!

Fats and oils are probably better used as biodiesel for transport fuels
(which we are going to be MUCH shorter of soon!).

I believe it is important to look at the "system" rather than a
particular problem - we can get biogas (which is good for stationary use
such as heat/light and pump motors etc) from a number of sources (often
wastes) but liquid fuels for transport use are less available (unless
you grow them specifically!).

Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open (and are often
only used in emergencies!).

All the best,
HOOROO
