Brazil is the World’s leading Country in Bio Fuels! Over 30 years ago in order to find a renewable and greener source of fuel, the Brazilian Government started the “Ethanol Boom” and has been successful ever since; for today, 8 out of 10 cars manufactured in Brazil have the so called “Flex Power” engines. These engines can run both in Alcohol Ethanol as well as with gasoline in any blend

Let us dream about a World free of CO2! Let us take part in this Green Revolution that Brazil has started. It’s no longer a dream… It’s reality!!! Well at least in South America! How about the WHOLE WORLD gone green?
Let us make that happen! mother earth will thank us!

You’ve heard the Alliance talk about agricultural innovation now heres your chance to see if firsthand. At the Farm Progress show this August, farmers and leading agriculture experts, including all four founding Alliance companies, met in Boone, Iowa, to showcase the most innovative, state-of-the-art agriculture equipment and science available today. See more on how greater innovation can help us meet our food and energy needs.

http://www.livinggreenchannel.com Algae is the fastest growing plant life, and as an organism it converts sunlight into oil, scientists theorize that Algal biofuel can produce a whopping 30 times more energy per acre than any other biofuel option. The US Department of Energy has estimated that if Algal Biofuel replaced all conventional fuel in the country, it would require 15,000 square miles of land to harvest the algae… which is roughly one seventh of the area that is used to harvest corn in the US every year. And a diverse group of byproducts, such as neutraceuticals and feedstocks for producing plastics, can be created in algal biofuel operations, making the production more cost effective. But before we start celebrating the great biofuel solution we’ve been looking for, there are a few problems… the biomass for producing a significant amount of algal biofuel just doesn’t exist yet. The algae has to be grown from scratch and harvesting it is very expensive at this point in time. The potential of Algal Biofuel is staggering… but the problem is that, as of now, it’s all just potential. It might be years before the technology catches up to make producing algal biofuel on a large scale possible… but when that time comes, we might be able to finally celebrate a more efficient, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy source.
