Colombia investing hard on biofuels: 3 million Ha
It would be too easy to start this post speaking about Colombia's most famous crops (which both start with C) but this is about biofuels. The Colombian government has decided to apply the principles learned in El Salvador and plant 3 million Ha (about 7.4 million acres) of sugarcane and palm trees to obtain sugar-based ethanol and palm-oil for biodiesel production.Hernán Martínez, Minister of Mines and Energy said that, "Colombia has enough territory to use for biofuel crops, without touching forest or natural reserves, and without competing with food crops". The plan is to convert land that is currently used for low-intensity animal farming into biofuel crops.
Two thirds of the land will be used to obtain palm oil and the remaining for sugarcane ethanol. Expected production figures are 400,000 barrels per year. 50,000 of those barrels would be for local use and the remaining for exportation. Currently, 70 percent of Colombian pumps sell E10 ( the plan is to have 100 percent sell E10 by 2009) and only 15 percent sell B5 (100 percent by the first trimester of 2008).

A new remarkable energy source been developed. The source is vertroleum which is equal to petroleum. To produce this fuel agricultural waste is used.This eliminates corn or soybean.
Also municipal waste (TRASH) is used.This eliminates landfills and incinerators.The fuel produced is refined to gasoline,airline fuel and diesel.In another process hydrogen fuel is developed.Believe it or not the process from waste to fuel takes only 8.5 minutes. I believe
this is the answer to eliminate foreign oil.I hope this sparked an interest so that you will check this out.Look below for address of company.

The economics of algae will overwhelm just about any other way of growing biofuel.
