Q: what companies will profit from biofuel?
Interested in the infrastructure and supply chain that will “fuel” biofuel?

A: Maybe ADM

Q: I’m the suspicious type, so I can’t help wondering if the Big Oil companies are buying into biofuel companies.
That way, as the world slowly moves away from our reliance on oil, we will still have Big Oil setting prices and continuing to make obscene profits.

A: The only reason this should make you “suspicious” is if they bought out every single biofuel company in the world, in order to suppress research and development of alternative fuel sources. However, such a scenario does not make sense. Big Oil, like every other industry, is into making money, so if they are investing in biofuel companies, it’s probably to diversify their revenue streams, so that when oil becomes more expensive to drill and extract, they will be able to sell biofuels (at obscene profits, of course).

Q: how can i make a biofuel factory and how much does it need to invest in malaysia?
I like to get information about investment(how much ?) and processing of making a new company in Biofuel’s field in Malaysia

A: I am also looking forward for the same, but in small scale.
Please let me know the result.

Q: Can Biofuel be made from yard and forest debris?
Instead of corn and soybean oil, we can use yard and forest debris. I have been driving through the Oregon highways and found tree debris as well as trees. We can allow cut down the trees and have them (or the Oregon State nonviolent prision population) clean up the debris so that the company can produce biofuel. Grass can be included. Why pay $116 per barrel of oil and increase our food prices because corn and soybean being diverted to make biofuel where we can use plant debris.

A: Synthetic diesel

Wood, hemp, straw, corn, garbage, food scraps, and sewage-sludge may be dried and gasified to synthesis gas. After purification the Synthetic diesel

Wood, hemp, straw, corn, garbage, food scraps, and sewage-sludge may be dried and gasified to synthesis gas. After purification the Fischer-Tropsch process is used to produce synthetic diesel.[10] This means that synthetic diesel oil may be one route to biomass based diesel oil. Such processes are often called Biomass-To-Liquids or BTL.

Synthetic diesel may also be produced out of natural gas in the Gas-to-liquid (GTL) process or out of coal in the Coal-to-liquid (CTL) process. Such synthetic diesel has 30% less particulate emissions than conventional diesel (US- California). is used to produce synthetic diesel.[10] This means that synthetic diesel oil may be one route to biomass based diesel oil.

this is a old process dating back to 1920s
this was used by Germany during WW2 to create a large amount of there military fuel

Q: Which companies are involved in making biofuel/gasoline/heating oil….from recyclable and algae material?

A: Way too many to be listed here. Lots of them are listed at:
http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/Companies/RenewableEnergy/Stock_List.asp
That list may not be up to date as there are constantly mergers/buyouts and new companies/universities entering the business.

A list of biodiesel plants (and the companies that own them) can be found at:

Q: How do I invest in Algae Biofuel? Is it in stocks or commodity?
I want to invest in Algae Biofuel but I don’t know how I can do so. Many of the companies are private companies that don’t have stock symbols. Do I just invest in big companies that invest in Algae like Chevron or Exxon? Or is a commodity I can buy?

A: You could go to http://www.sec.gov navigate to the Edgar search, do a word search for the term “Algae Biofuel” to find public filings where that term is used and narrow your search from there. I am not aware of an Alage Biofuel commodities contract.

Q: What are the best companies to invest in for short term? Long term?
Im new to investing and just doing some research before I get started in the market. I plan to wait until just before spring to enter the market and need some pointers from some experienced investers. I only want to invest in the most promising investments. Anyone have any companies for me to watch? Also should I invest in biofuel now or wait and who is the leader in the industry?

A: You’ll be entering themarket at the end of a very long bull cycle. Odds are that the economy will begin to contract and stocks will go down.
I suggest you learn about shorting stocks or buying put options.

Q: What are the big oil companies doing to promote biodiesel?
We have no biodiesel pumps at any of the garages here in North Wales, biodiesel and biofuel are hard to source, why aren’t Shell, BP, etc doing more to promote biodiesel?
They’re in the oil business, crude oil is running out therefore if they want to stay in business with the current crop of fossil-fueled cars, it’s in there best interests to do so.

A: Sorry, but your question is an oxymoron.

Why don’t car manufacturers promote motorcycles?

At the current rate of consumption, the crude oil reserves will last 75-100 years. That is hardly “running out”, is it?

Q: Where do I start when looking at changing to BioFuel??
we are a distribution company running 20 vehicles around London and the South East. We are looking to change over to BioFuel, and would like to know where to start. Any ideas?

Q: I need a lot of information on Algae biofuel?
I am doing a report on Algae and its implementation and viability for an energy company. I need any information about it that would be useful in the decision to invest in this technology or not. This would include info on what it is, how its done, where it can be and has been implemented, how it’s used, what companies are investing in it and developing it, how it can be commercialized and the pros and cons.

A: Algae fuel, also called algal fuel, algaeoleum or second-generation biofuel,[1] is a biofuel which is derived from algae. During photosynthesis, algae and other photosynthetic organisms capture carbon dioxide and sunlight and convert it into oxygen and biomass. Up to 99% of the carbon dioxide in solution can be converted, which was shown by Weissman and Tillett (1992) in large-scale open-pond systems. As of 2008, such fuels remain too expensive to replace other commercially available fuels, with the cost of various algae species typically between US$5–10 per kilogram.[citation needed] But several companies and government agencies are funding efforts to reduce capital and operating costs and make algae oil production commercially viable.[2] The production of biofuels from algae does not reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), because any CO2 taken out of the atmosphere by the algae is returned when the biofuels are burned. They do however eliminate the introduction of new CO2[citation needed] by displacing fossil hydrocarbon fuels.

High oil prices, competing demands between foods and other biofuel sources, and the world food crisis, have ignited interest in algaculture (farming algae) for making vegetable oil, biodiesel, bioethanol, biogasoline, biomethanol, biobutanol and other biofuels, using land that is not suitable for agriculture. Among algal fuels’ attractive characteristics: they do not affect fresh water resources,[3] can be produced using ocean and wastewater, and are biodegradable and relatively harmless to the environment if spilled.[4][5][6] Algae cost more per unit mass yet can yield over 30 times more energy per unit area than other, second-generation biofuel crops.[citation needed] One biofuels company has claimed that algae can produce more oil in an area the size of a two car garage than a football field of soybeans, because almost the entire algal organism can use sunlight to produce lipids, or oil.[7] The United States Department of Energy estimates that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States, it would require 15,000 square miles (40,000 km2).[8] This is less than 1⁄7 the area of corn harvested in the United States in 2000.[9]

.Struggles Making Algae Biofuel Lead To A Fishy Solution

Q: biofuel company that has got its costs down to .18 cents from over $5.00 a gallon it also won a r&d 100 award

A: OK?

Q: Are you willing to stop eating meat to allow more grain to be used for biofuel production?
Pilgrims Pride, a large chicken processing company, is closing some of its complex due to feed costs. All meat will become more expensive as more grain is made into fuel. Bread, cereals and baked goods will become very expensive, too. Is the world ready for this?

A: Start using gas without ethanol, and eat the chickens.
Corn is being diverted to ethanol because the government helps pay for it. Consequently the actual cost of E10 is more costly than what you pay at the pump.
Now, the cost of beef etc. has dropped because the ranchers can’t afford to feed corn. Once the beef supply gets low enough, the price will sky-rocket. The same will happen with pork and poultry.
All this is because we can’t develop the oil fields we have because of environmental decisions.

Q: Can you recommend some “clean energy” stocks and funds?
I’m looking for solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, biomass and biofuel companies or funds. No fossil fuels or nuclear please.
Oops I forgot wind.

A: How about SOLF and PEIX. I usually stick with stocks, however, I know of some green funds, GCBLX & GCEQX. Due your own DD and be careful! JMT only. ts

Q: how can I tell if the stocks I picked will make me money?
I put money into Sharebuilder, but now don’t know now if I did the right thing. How can I make sure if I did the right think. Is there a way to know for sure if my stocks that i picked will make me money , I have mcdonalds, exxon, marathon, Procter& Gamble , steel company, biofuel, and a couple of others, What do I need to do to make big money? Please let me know.

A: If you want to make big money, you will have to start with big money for no one is giving anything away at the moment. One never knows if the picks will be profitable. You hope that those in which you have made investments are the leaders in their field, innovators and financially responsible companies. You also want them to be somewhat shareholder oriented.

Q: Would the oil price instigate fuel companies to start really producing alternatives ??
Such alternatives are already there, but not widely used yet, such as biofuel, solar enrgy, wind dervied enrgy, and nuclear energy??

A: Yes. People will always want cheap alternatives.
