CoolPlanet BioFuels, a start-up developing technology to convert low-grade biomass into high-grade fuels including gasoline, and carbon that can be sequestered ( earlier post ), claims it has achieved a conversion yield of 4,000 gallons gasoline/acre biomass in pilot testing using giant miscanthus, an advanced bioenergy crop.

4-cylinder engine; charging capability remains the same, as does the electric range. The trucks will be deployed in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio and Texas later this year. A compact, quiet-running 650cc 2-cylinder engine replaces the previous 2.4L The smaller engine will improve fuel economy, however.

Yields for biomass from giant miscanthus are expected to range between 10 and 12 tons of dry matter per acre and can be as high as 15 tons per acre. The sponsor for this project is MFA Oil Biomass LLC and the project area surrounds the co-op’s biomass conversion facility in Paragould, Ark.

Life-cycle assessments (LCA) of biofuels show a wide range of net greenhouse gas savings compared to fossil fuels. While this mainly depends on the feedstock and conversion technology, other factors including methodological assumptions also have an impact. Another constraint is the way land conversion related impacts are attributed.
