Alcohol-based transportation fuels from a wide range of biomass feedstocks including agricultural, forestry, municipal and industrial waste and specially grown crops and trees can potentially offer a substantial substitute for oil derived fuel. More modest downsizing up to 5 liters could offer a practical solution. In this manner a 3.6
