Researchers push gasification pyrolysis as a means to more affordably process wood and other substances into biofuel. Germany, known as a hotbed for automotive activity in Europe, is now setting its sights on biofuels. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are working on a process to create relatively affordable biofuels out of common plant wastes, such as waste wood. They hope the technology will yield fuel that costs €0.50 a liter or $2.49/gallon USD. (source: dailytech.com)
