The seven next generation biofuels. Set to replace fossil fuels?? I'll tell you....as soon as I find my crystal ball. Most are set to debut in 2012.
1. Cellulosic ethanol (biological) - 66% energy yield compared to a gallon of gasoline
2. Cellulosic ethanol (gasification) - 66% energy yield compared to a gallon of gasoline
3. Algal biodiesel - 103% energy yield compared to a gallon of gasoline
4. Green gasoline - 100% energy yield compared to a gallon of gasoline
5. Biobutanol - 90% energy yield compared to a gallon of gasoline
6. Designer hydrocarbons - 106% energy yield compared to a gallon of gasoline
7. Fourth-Gen fuel - 103% energy yield compared to a gallon of gasoline
