Default Human food used to make car fuel while people abroad starve.

They feed it to animals too! Meat eaters take note.

"An East Yorkshire biofuel plant has told Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
farmers that its use of locally-produced wheat will boost their
businesses.

The area is one of the country's biggest producers of wheat, currently
used for animal feed.

Vivergo at Saltend, near Hull, said it aimed to use 1.1m tonnes of
wheat per year to make renewable fuel.

The high starch content of the region's wheat makes it ideal for
bioethanol, the company said.

Farmer and National Farmers' Union representative Ian Backhouse said:
"To have a customer on our doorstep taking the volumes of wheat
they're talking about is really good news for local farmers."..."

"...Up to 5% of bioethanol can currently be blended with regular fuel
for use in any petrol-based car engine but this may increase to 10% to
meet renewable energy targets, according to the AA..."

Excellent news .. thanks for posting it. *


Glad to be of service - I helped in the R+D for that plant, but the
BIG money spinner will be a maize to biobutanol plant.
Ethanol can only be used in small doses in conventional engines, but
butanol can be used neat.
We are still working on it, but they want some fuel to power some of
the Olympic fleet.
No pressure then.

It must be terrible pressure for all those people working hard at BP Chemicals
Saltend Hull.

On the other hand it must be incredibly boring to have nothing to do all day
with one finger up your arse and another tapping on the keyboard.

I suspect that it is very rewarding and fulfilling.

The local drivers are dead worried about the big increase in HGVs
clogging up the surrounding countryside.
The jams are already bad enough without lorries adding to the
congestion.

It's pushed up the cost of green barley for which barley malt has
followed and helped push up the cost of our national staple food, beer.

Mexican VW engines will run on ethanol or petrol or a combination.

So another plus.

But the wheat is not at present used for people.

But more to the point, are you saying that the farmers are cyclists, or
the animals are cyclists, or the plant owners are cyclists, if none of
these then why post it to a cycling NG?

The cartilaginous plate is protractable and retractable. One single
