Ask HN: Who invests in better plant based fuel?

1 pointcarloc2 comments

A contact of mine has a company that does plant based fuel. They have a garage guy who is making it "actually work" in terms of workability with existing motors.

Any ideas for people potentially interested in investing much appreciated.

What is the Energy ROI of the solution ? From my understanding, biofuel EROI is rather poor, and does not make much economic sense in the long term.

I believe you are referring to ethanol based biofuels, which have significantly reduced energy density and require engine modification.

This technology is a plant oil based technology, and requires no engine modification. It's just fuel that comes from plants, and you can put it in your vehicle right now and drive.
