[Stoves] Burning low quality ethanol

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear William

Thanks for that link!

What does ButylFuel, LLC bring to the table when it comes to producing
butanol?

 ButylFuel, LLC has developed and patented technology that overcomes the
limitations that have to date complicated and kept the cost of butanol
production from corn and other forms of biomass high. BFL is now able to
produce 2.5 gallons of butanol from corn with no Acetone or Ethanol, whereas
others have not been able to achieve better than 1.3 to 1.9 gallons of
Butanol per bushel and still utilize an ABE process. Further, BFL's
technology generates hydrogen which is likely to receive additional
attention as an alternative fuel in the future. In fact, taking into account
the hydrogen production, BFL can produce 42 % more energy from a bushel of
corn than is typically produced by a corn-to-ethanol plant - 25 % of the
difference lies with the butanol and 18 % comes from the hydrogen.

Given that the yield is the same, and the energy content is much higher, it
looks like a really viable alternative to ethanol, plus I expect (?) that it
is not useable as a drink and is not covered by booze laws and taxes.
