OK, I've finally caved in and done it! I've had so many requests, both from existing biodiesel users and from the general web public, as well as from the possible future inclusion of the new biofuel users group that we've been talking about. It is the biofuels forum after all, not just biodiesel. A little bit later this year I will clean up and re-arrange this whole forum significantly and I might arrange all the forums in a better manner, but for now, this sub-forum will just sit tacked on the end of the others.
Personally, I've always had the view that ethanol requires so much energy to make, it is almost as bad greenhouse-wise as petrol, however, it is renewable, which has something going for it. I'm hoping that the enlightened individuals who will use this forum here will prove me wrong and show a thriving community of passionate and articulate folk who care for the world they live in.
So come on folks, feel free to discuss ethanol and butanol (I admit, I've also heard people use the terms "bioethanol" and "biobutanol", but I don't know the difference, hopefully soon I'll learn .)
(Also, please try to focus this on Australian use. Sure we welcome folks from all over the world here and appreciate your input, but we live in Australia here.)
