Natchez, MS -- U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. (USSE) has announced the official launch and availability of their new organic-based biofuel, discovered during research into the creation of alternative fuel sources from waste biomass.

<snip>

The new biofuel, referenced internally as SoyMazia 128, demonstrates several properties superior to any other green fuel source available, including a heating value of 128,000 BTU per gallon.

The USSE biofuel costs less than fifty cents per gallon to produce, and 1 bushel of soybeans can create literally 5 gallons of biofuel - in comparison to 1.5 gallons for any other biodiesel on the market.

The biofuel discovery is also superior to diesel and biodiesel for resistance to all weather conditions, remaining fluid and flowing at temperatures down to -90 degrees Fahrenheit.

1. This is a biggie

Current biodiesel formulas gel a low temperatures and only low percentage biodiesel can be used in the winter (B5)

If these claims are true, 100% biodiesel (B100) could be used in homes and autos all year round without concern...

:thumbsup:

2. Conventional Soy BioD and Corn Ethanol (wet mill) results in 70% (or more) of the food

value of the feedstock remaining.

It appears that this process converts 100%, no food value left.

Truly, food or fuel (with some carbon ash left with which to grow more biomass for fuel).

U.S. Sustainable Energy Corporation’s state-of-the-art manufacturing technology uses a highly efficient process to break down vegetable feedstock (soy and/or corn) and extract the most energy possible, so that nearly 100 percent of the feedstock results in three usable products: liquid biofuel, carbon ash and biogas.

9. Food or Fuel -- The future of "Guns or Butter"

It's the same equation, really.

I have no doubt that biofuels will play a vital role in the future. My fear is that there will be a "gold rush" that will depress food crop growing in favor of fuel crop growing. Agribiz has already shown a complete and utter lack of concern for issues of sustainability and public health. Heaven help us when they start producing GMO high-carb corn for ethanol production.

10. As Evidenced By All Of The Corn Ethanol Boom Being Dry Mill

facilities that yields only cattle feed as a co-product vs. wet milling that separates out the components facilitating human consumption. Why? Because it's cheaper.

Maybe Rachael Ray needs to work on some DDGS holiday recipes.

As evidenced by the corn ethanol plant 7 Mi. to the east, producing a 'green fuel' using coal as the energy input. Basically, converting coal with a CTL EPR of 5 to corn ethanol with an EPR of 1. Losing 4 units of potential energy to produce a 'green' fuel. Not to mention the incremental increase in carbon emissions. Why? Because it's cheaper than the alternative of using the wind power potential 100 mi. to the NW.

The coming energy and environmental crunch we are facing is beyond the capabilities of a Laissez-faire system.

11. With this process, you can produce 3.3 times more biodiesel per acre

or...the same amount of biodiesel on 1/3 the acreage.

Anyway you cut it, this puts less pressure on soy-for-food production.

3. Can standard gas-powered vehicles be converted?

This is awesome - anything that lessens our dependence on Big Oil is welcome!

5. I think only diesels can use this

Off subject a little...

I did my weekly run to the Organic Coop today.

I overheard several groups of people talking about biodiesel - apparently it's the posh thing amongst the young purple hair set in my burg to buy old Mercedes and run them on biodiesel..one young lady said she got 30 mpg with her '83.

Made my day...

6. I'd love to have my Jeep able to run on biofuel -

It gets darn good mileage already (25 in town, 28 highway) for a small SUV, but I so want to move away from anything having to depend on Big Oil. My hatred for these companies started with the Exxon Valdez and hasn't lessened a bit!!

7. This sounds very promising

and at only 50 cents per gallon to produce it can be an economical replacement to fossil fuels. Great news!

8. Very interesting! recommended. It's interesting to see what can happen when people just try to

make things happen.

12. The economics sound screwy to me

How do you get 5 gallons of $0.50 fuel out of a $6.00 bushel of soybeans? Unless they mean it costs $0.50/gal in addition to the cost of the soybeans?

It sounds like more mouse milk.

[bananas]

13. Yeah, that would be $1.20/gallon

($6/bushel) / (5gallon/bushel) = $6/5gallon = $1.20/gallon
