...the energy balance of biodiesel is 3.24, compared to 1.25 for ethanol...
From this site
This is a VERY high estimate in my opinion. Fuel from organics is a pipedream.
The only people that think that 3.24 is good are people who don’t understand what that would take us down from compared to oil.
It will be no pipe dream. Biotech companies are working on it today.
