Biofuels Professor Says Corn Will Never Work

it takes 1.2 units petgroleum fuel to produce 1 unit of energy consumed while for Corn it is 0.15:1 according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the UK (unbiased). must read more about biofuels before putting out such uninformed comments.

it bosts about 0.35 cents a liter to make Ethanol from Sugar Cane = it is not made frm Sugar while the cost of making if frm Corn is 0.70 cents per liter. Look a the price of gasoline today world wide and you will get a good understanding of how competitive Ethanol is.

Meanwhile Biodiesel which is even more efficient than ethanol in terms of Energy is unfortunately plagued by a lack of vegetable oil which is a more finite resource at this time.
