Even on land, getting oil from tar sands depletes water and other resources and doubles oil’s carbon footprint. We’ve already decided we’re going to fix already-built houses, offices and factories that waste energy. Cash for Conversions” will start by fixing many of our 100 million trucks, vans, and buses.

A team of researchers in China has developed a two-step enzymatic process for the solvent-free conversion of soybean oil to biodiesel without the production of glycerol. The team hydrolyzed soybean oil at 40 °C by 100 U of lipase broth per 1 g of oil with approximately 30% to 60% (vol/vol) water. A mixture of 2.82

Microalgae can grow in waste or sea water and offer vastly superior biomass yields per hectare; furthermore, CO 2 removed from the atmosphere during photosynthetic growth of the plant offsets CO 2 released during fuel combustion. Case 1 is based on algal fuel production, with oilcake and glycerol as waste material.

The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. Second, while hydrogen can be otherwise produced through the electrolysis of water, this process requires huge amounts of clean and fresh water – a vital and highly valuable commodity of life that can’t be wasted.
