Had to dig to see, but this stuff can be made from inedible crops.

Ethanol (alcohol) attracts water — its an engine buster if you do not use protecting chemicals to neutralize the effect. Many engine makers will not allow of 10% ethanol fuel to be used in their engines (Mercury Marine for one) or you will void your warranty.

Biobutanol fixes all the gripes people have here on FR about ethanol. It is for real. It burns more like gasoline with more btu's than ethanol. You make it from non edible materials.

It is an alternative, but still can't equal the quantity of petroleum gasoline.

As far as an investment, the ethanol plants will eventually be converted and bought by larger conglomerates. I think Conoco has just bought some. What are the odds? Just sayin.

Butanol has about 95% the energy density of gasoline per volume, unlike ethanol, which is around 67%, so it should have an advantage in that regard over ethanol.

If this brings the ethanol debacle to a close using a market-based solution, it’s a win for everyone, including taxpayers.
