Notice that they reference the energy to heat the raw materials is from alternate
energy sources...to be 70% efficient.
Without the alternate power source, that 70% would be less
Still a GREAT process. Better than the Algae, plant, etc processes. Issues with
them is that they produce hydrogen in an 'air' environment and removing the O2
is tough & expensive. Otherwise a potential bomb in the making. The other
new process to make diesel from plant material has another ditto for
the amounts of energy to make it than it provides
Alternate energy to supply the very high heat needed and the electrical
power for the electrolysis to split the water into it's two elements
Embryonic at this point, but fantastic potential
