Let's say the productivity of biofuel plantations is 1,200 liters of biofuel per hectare per year.

Here's another big idea CO2 as a feedstock.

You can make some sort of a biofuel cell.

The first is selecting a feedstock, preferably something that's regional, that's in your area, right

It's 80 times better in energy consumption, and it's powered by biofuel, by Weetabix.

The length of the road doesn't matter, because the longer the road, the more biofuel plantation.

The deforestation, especially for oil palm, to provide biofuel for Western countries is what's causing these problems.

Who would have thought that the ethanol biofuel miracle would come from a developing country in South America?

You might have anticipated that result, given what I told you about the biofuel plantation a moment ago.

Today, we use a single feedstock, petroleum, to heat our homes, power our cars and make most of the materials you see around you.

The next is actually taking this feedstock and putting in a tool, physically filling an enclosure, a mold, in whatever shape you want to get.

And but for a little transitional tail of natural gas and a bit of biofuel grown in ways that sustain and endure, this new fire is flameless.

And the most biofuel we might need, just three million barrels a day, can be made two thirds from waste without displacing any cropland and without harming soil or climate.

But the only way we think that biology can have a major impact without further increasing the cost of food and limiting its availability is if we start with CO2 as its feedstock, and so we're working with designing cells to go down this road.
