Electricity Better than Ethanol as Biomass-derived Transport Fuels

Electricity more efficient than ethanol as a biomass energy for transportation fuels, says this interesting post at Physorg.

Naturally, they are talking about two different pathways. Biomass -> Fermentation -> Ethanol -> Transport; and Biomass -> Combustion -> Electricity (or) Biomass -> Gasification -> Electricity.

This sounds interesting and merits some analysis to be done by me later this week.

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
