Found another way to get inexpensive biofuels, which could become an alternative to traditional gasoline and diesel. Scientists once again forced us to pay attention literally what lies beneath our feet. For example, old Newspapers. They offer to obtain biofuels experts from Tulane University. Professor of molecular biology David Mallin found the strain TU-103, allowing to obtain cellulose butanol, which could be used as an alternative to gasoline. While scientists are confident in the prospects of his ideas. "Only in the United States annually emitted 323 million tons of cellulosic materials. Of them could produce butanol," says Harshad Velankar, colleague Marina on scientific group. It is worth noting that the idea of turning waste into fuel is not new. For example, in this area is already running company Enerkem from Montreal, receiving ethanol from recycled materials, and Fiberight using for the same purpose cellulose. In General, alternatives to the usual fuels a lot. There is only one question: when automakers seriously engage with the problem. With electricity like you've already got, maybe the next one - cellulose?
