Part of the Government Series, Energy: from TheCapitol.Net Biofuels have grown significantly in the past few years as a component of U.S. motor fuel supply. Current U.S. biofuels supply relies primarily on ethanol produced from Midwest corn. Today, ethanol is blended in more than half of all U.S. gasoline (at the 10% level or lower in most cases). Federal policy has played a key role in the emergence of the U.S. biofuels industry in general, and the corn ethanol industry in particular. U.S. biofuels production is supported by federal and state policies that include minimum usage requirements, blending and production tax credits, an import tariff to limit importation of foreign-produced ethanol, loans and loan guarantees to facilitate the

When it comes to biodiesel turbine fuel and kerosene, there have been many searches on the net for this and it seems clear that many people have a question and they keep searching for the answer. The most common question is "Is it possible to make a biodiesel and kerosene blend or replace the kerosene entirely?".

When you think about diesel aircraft engines, this fuel performs quite well. The reason for this is because it is incredibly similar to diesel and so the aircraft is not able to notice the difference. However, because diesel fuel has a high stability rate, it is not used in the larger aircrafts such as 747s. Therefore it is highly unlikely that they will use biodiesel as a source of fuel any time soon for commercial flights. On the other hand, if you do have your own personal jet, it's worth looking into and inquiring about.

Kerosene as a fuel source is lighter than diesel but heavier than gasoline. It appears to be possible that a biodiesel element could be introduced to a kerosene mix. In the not too distant future it may be that airlines could charge a little extra than usual for flights that used this in their fuel blend hoping to attract passengers that would like to be friendly to the environment.

Even though bio fuel in aircrafts would reduce the amounts of harmful CO2 emissions, this would also mean that some of our agricultural resources would have to be dedicated strictly to air travel and would unfortunately be putting an increased strain on our natural resources. With that being said, although there are a few negatives there are definitely a lot of positives especially when it comes to being friendly to the environment for the use of biodiesel in the turbine fuel kerosene.

PTGTV is pleased to announce the selection of Mean Green BioFuels for its innovative, educational television series, Pulse On America. The company will be featured in a segment on “Biofuels and the Future” in the Pulse On Energy Series.

In a time when fuel shortage, source, and price are constant topics of debate, Mean Green BioFuels is working to produce and distribute bio-fuels from agricultural products to empower consumers with a new fuel option, offer the opportunity to save money, and reduce pollution. Mean Green™ is a development stage GreenShift portfolio company. GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSHF) is a publicly traded business development company whose mission is to develop and support companies and technologies that facilitate the efficient use of natural resources and catalyze transformational environmental gains. Mean Green’s™ focus is to produce renewable fuels utilizing exclusive oil extraction technologies that increase the efficiency of existing renewable fuel production processes.

Mean Green BioFuels has started the crusade through its joint venture with Veridium Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VRDM), another GreenShift company, to provide agriculture clients with innovative new technology to turn their waste into a fuel source. Its technologies expand the supply of bio-fuels and provide compelling new revenue opportunities for agricultural producers. Mean Green™ will also offer direct production and distribution of bio-fuels through the construction and operation of state of art production facilities based on the company’s patented technology.

Mean Green™ aims to reduce America’s dependence of foreign oil, stabilize and favorably impact energy costs, re-energize American agriculture, and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Not only will using agriculture products for fuel have great economic benefits but will also help protect and preserve the environment for future generations. Mean GreenÔ BioFuels is passionate about “ leaving the environment in a condition worthy of the next generation.”

Veridium uses a unique corn oil recovery technology. After a process to remove starch from corn and convert it into ethanol is complete, the remaining portion of the whole grain is usually sold as commercial food for livestock. That food still contains 100% of its original fat content. Veridium’s advanced technology can recover up to 75% of that fat and is capable of producing 3.5 million gallons per year of corn oil. They are then able to turn that corn oil into a clean burning which Veridium will sell on a discounted exclusive basis to Mean Green™ for conversion into a new clean fuel called biodiesel. Veridium installs its oil recovery system into dry mill ethanol facilities at no cost and will pay for the extracted oil. Mean Green’s future plans include building several facilities to process the oil into biodiesel, and to market and sell the product directly to consumers. For more information, please visit www.meangreenbiofuels.com.

About Mean Green BioFuels Corporation

Mean Green intends to finance, build and operate several biodiesel production facilities in the U.S. to reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil by producing high quality biodiesel fuels, and to get biodiesel in as many diesel burning trucks, tractors, and industrial facilities as possible.

The Mean Green model is based on the production of biodiesel out of the following sources:

· soy bean oil;

· animal fats procured from rendering operations;

· corn oil extracted from ethanol facilities; and,

· animal fats derived from dissolved air flotation wastewater sludges.

Interested parties that wish to put Mean Green’s technologies into action today or who are seeking investment in their biofuels company should contact Mean Green at 888-870-9193.

As the term suggests, bio-fuels are fuels that are formed when biological matter decomposes. The bio-fuels are mostly derived from plants. Bio-fuels exist in all the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

Difference between bio-fuels and fossil fuels
Bio-fuels are different from fossil fuels in the following ways:
• Fossil fuels take a million years to build whereas bio-fuels can be made extremely fast, in a matter of days.
• Fossil fuels generate huge amounts of pollution. Bio-fuels are comparatively safer.
• Bio-fuels are renewable sources of energy unlike fossil fuels.

Different types of bio-fuels
Bio-fuels have been categorized into four types: first generation, second generation, third generation, and fourth generation.

The first generation bio-fuels are derived from vegetable fats, starch, and sugar, which are in turn derived from food-crops. The first generation fuels are also derived from animal fats. Biogas, bio-diesel, and vegetable oil are some examples of this type of bio-fuels.

The second generation of bio-fuels is mainly derived from waste biomass, thus making it a more balanced option compared to the first-generation bio-fuels. Different kinds of alcohols and diesel generated from wood fall into the category of second generation bio-fuels.

The third generation comprises of bio-fuels derived from algae. Algae are farmed on large scales for creating these bio-fuels. The algae fuels are extremely environment-friendly as they can easily decompose into the soil without harming it.

The bio-fuels in the fourth generation are derived by a method in which micro-organisms are raised to work with carbon dioxide to generate fuel.

Advantages of bio-fuels
Bio-fuels prove advantageous in the following ways:
• Bio-fuels lessen the burden on gradually-vanishing fossil fuels.
• Bio-fuels are environment-friendly. They help reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
• Bio-fuels, especially, bio-diesel prove to be very cost-effective for consumers.

Disadvantages of bio-fuels
Bio-fuels are not bereft of criticism. Though beneficial for the environment, bio-fuels have its disadvantages, paradoxically in the environmental purview. Bio-fuels have received criticism for many reasons, a couple of which are stated below:
• Economists have long debated on the usefulness of first generation bio-fuels when compared to the lack of food they cause. Generating fuel from food crops makes food crops unworthy of human consumption. Some people believe that being a higher priority than fuel, food should not be farmed for making fuels but for human consumption.
• Making bio-fuels require acres of farming land, thus encroaching upon the natural habitat of plants and animals.
