This higher efficiency alternative biofuel is something I have been following for some time. The fact that DuPont and BP are now involved brings it to the forefront of interesting developments.

In addition, butanol is less ...In addition to this it literally stinks. It has a truly repulsive odor.

I would be interested in how butanol is made. Can it be derived from biological ,ie plant material? Could you direct me to some sources you might find especially noteworthy.
Iknow, I know.....google is my friend. You apparently might be able to provide some wheat rather than a lot of chaff.

But what about oil from algae? Anyone remember Petrosun? Algae ponds in the Arizona desert?
Now biobutanol?
