Biomass to gas to catalytic intermediate to liquid gasoline. I estimate a cost per gallon of $ 12-30.
Perfect, put it in production. The government will buy all you can make.
Until they start drilling the great untapped biomass wastelands of Nevada, aka The Grand Buffet Biomass Fields.
From the article:
With improvements in the rate of production from genetic engineering, Voigt estimates that gasoline could be produced at $1.65 per gallon from sugar cane bagasse.
He expects fuel from cellulosic sources like poplar would be cheaper at $1.10 to $1.30 a gallon. But creating reliable cost models at this point is hard since there are no cellulosic fuel crops in production to base an estimate on, he said.
