Both plants will convert municipal solid waste into biofuel. Advanced biofuels can be produced from cellulose in biomass such as wheat straw, corn stalks, household waste, or energy crops such as switchgrass. The numbers would be even higher if biomass from forestry residues, household waste, and energy crops were included.

70% of the energy from burning fossil fuel is wasted as heat, while only 30% goes to turn your wheels. So after we use all that electricity pumping oil out of the ground, refining it, transporting it, we then waste 70% when we burn it. These cars and trucks have internal combustion engines that are extremely inefficient.

Val Miftakhov: As you can imagine, we did a lot of this [comparison] early on as well. With biofuels, if you look at the relative efficiency of converting solar energy into biofuel versus solar energy into hydrogen, it’s not even a comparison, it’s ridiculous, it’s 500 times difference. It makes a lot of sense.

The comparison keeps being raised, though studies are conclusive: The "well-to-wheel" emissions of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles. In some areas where wind and hydropower is wasted at night, the rate can be as low as 2-3 cents per kWh. Thats 20-25 cents a gallon.
