Bacteria Make Oil from Biomass
By focusing on the output as "hydrocarbons", the company plans to address not only the fuel supply line, but the other uses of petro chemicals, such as making plastics, cosmetics, and the millions of other petrolium-based products. The company expects to be in production by around Q2 2009.
J.C. Bell, an agricultural researcher and CEO of Bell Bio-Energy, Inc., says he's isolated and modified specific bacteria that will, on a very large scale, naturally change plant material – including the leftovers from food –- into hydrocarbons to fuel cars and trucks. They believe that fuel could be generated for as little as 25 cents per gallon. The energy shortage issue can be effectively addressed, it is a totally renewable energy source, it calms global warming fears, utilizes industrial waste and supports the agriculture industry. "We can reduce the waste stream by 70 percent.” F.Y.I., Bell Plantation (http://bellplantation.com/), an agricultural research company, was founded by J. C. and Jo Bell in 1991.
