Bio-fuels

Bio-fuels Are Nothing New

Biofuels are nothing new. Henry Ford’s Model-T was designed to run on multiple fuel types, including a form of bio-fuel. At The Great Exhibition, the first diesel engine ran on peanut oil. However, the development of cheap oil reserves meant that bio-fuels were quickly eclipsed by readily-available fossil fuels.

A Real Alternative

With 'Peak Oil' and the ever diminishing supply, and increasing cost, of fossil fuels, governments around the world are legislating targets for bio-fuels. Moreover, with increasing concerns about energy security, biofuels offer a real alternative to traditional transport fuels, like crude oil.
Licella has developed a unique process to convert readily-available, low-cost biomass (plant material) into a stable Bio-Crude oil, which can be processed into "drop in" fuels.
