The viability of small decentalized biofuel systems.

Well and wish the the good debate here about the great green future with the decentalized small biofuel project around the world based on the Brasilian learning experiments

We have been reading a lot on the on biofuel in blog , wiki now a days
As recently reported Vivek by JTF biofuel lists that we could not get the information what we really need and was looking for. So here I thought to write , based on my 25 years dedicated research about perspective.

Surley , the every one input is very important also. There used to be very high input here for several topics earlier in Internet for biofuel isst in JTF , as our face book users younger and academics are very the big too , but little about biofue debate . I am sure that all members of the new generation also like wish to deeply understand the biofuel but few only wish to give input and collaborate about the the small scale biofuel production for the farmer of the world. There come the question of who will be the world leader of exporters of biofuel ? or for fuel self use ?

As far as many peope knowledge is concerned the cost of production of biodiesel is not competitive to the petrodiesel . It is also true that the companies depend on the government support for their profits. several developed countries though leading the ahead very rapidly to become world leader , presently, in the production of bio- diesel, but this growth is mainly on the support of government subsidies ,and also based on the technology innovation's .The developing country like Brazil and India too are trying to take over this race to win over the developed ones ,primarily because not only based on the few raw material( rapeseed oil) is very expensive and also they use soya ,corn and wheat for the production of biofuels as they lack biodiversity of tropical crops such as cane, palms.due to food verses fuel conflits , their biofuel with huge government suport is not sustainable in the present and future .
The sustainable integrated ecological small biofuel systems design for world market

There are globalized international cost and local cost , and surely what we mean by the cost is dependent variable on local market . Some isolated area in Amazonian forest as well as other remote place , the diesel is sold 8 time more costlier than world globalized price. Any who can help and solve this energy problem eliminating this gap can be the world leader, but this is not going to be only by the big blue Corporate companies , as the solar biomass energy is decentralised , need to involve several small biomass systems too .The big world stronger economy leader are planning to eliminate the small biosystems can not be very sustainable one in future time , may be possible for short time victory and big profit ,but long time total failure.This had been the history for the several bioenergy big thermal energy project where the peoples are excluded and small farmer were not included , not able to survive , as the model is not based on ecological sustainability and green chemistry .

The cooperative of small farmer from Indian in west Bengal using Internet can buy Palms from Brazilian farmer cooperatives , simple hand operating low cost press made from Australia by a small company , can obtain the proven best high quality of two stage process from JTF ,Japan , without paying much money for the the best technology they can practice , even though they have not acess fo the modern innovative one , but I hope and wish they give donation afterwards after that get benefits to make JTF sustainable ), get trained by fresh university students again based on the photos in Internet , step by step easy how to make low cost prpcess and equipments.They can find where the market is there nearby them via social network to sell with the low price to far away place such as Africa or Bangladesh poor Farmer. The micro credits facility os eco business as promoted by some banks has already made a big world level success for irrigation to make their food even though power cut is not yet solved problem in several countries .

Ecological system model of Agribusiness.

Who can be the world leader both India , Australia and Brazil , where money has come for the investments by the community who had the social capital.Here all is leader , but alone no one country go to any where .

For examples , even though , industrial cashew nut processing , and also business product marketing are in the hand of very few rich Brazilian and Indian merchants , but I am not sure this model will survive , after web2 , second life social revolution of information exchange of small farmers of these countries , I am sure no one will be leader alone so far only competing . Many country can help and make big company such as Microsoft as the leader in software , which is now not yet a leader in Internet world, but wish and try to be , which I am sure will be never in future as the leader as in the past , as web2 and google is coming over there as the best choice winning the micro soft , the web3 social net based face book , social web service in next web3, the third life changing can will win the the leader now but again not alone , but collective social intelligent net work , as the model for the big single leader one , if not socially justified will not be sustainable .Yet many rich business people all trying to make Brazil as the world leader in cashew industrial production as the only big leader with big automated machinery , yet India and South Africa together is the world leader .In future with growing social network of web2 , as both uses solar energy , small scale appropriate technology , , small systems , which are not able to survive now the big battle of the large company with the help of the government money of developed country . Thus making the war of eradication of the small scale industries is going on and not just ,but all this go in the name of modernization , nationalization , to become world leader as if the single world leader is the the only key issue , goal for all the country , no matter how they do it or is it sustainable or not for the world


As recently reported Vivek by JTF biofuel lists,Countries like Indonesia (one of the largest producer of palm oil ), India (jatropha as high yield and india has sufficient land apart from agricultural land which support its cultivation).They could emerge as the major producer of biodiesel as recently reported by Vivek .According to him , these countries lack the basic infrastructure and policy framework and are evolving very slowly in this sector. U.S.A. , Brazil could lead the world in this .

One of the best land in the world with good water resource too, Brazil has decentralised ethanol making plant from .we can include the Brazil to be the leader , as this country is blessed with biodiversity and has the best land , at least more land for the sugar cane based biofuel With the next generation ethanol from wasted fruits , sweet potato's and cassava , which can easily double the production without investments of nearly 12 (not sure about billion s liter , but yet is not the world leader.But Brazil is able to produce ethanol with less learning time curve the lowest price , 30 percent of the the cost of of the production of U.S.A , who is the world leader of bioetanol now in quantity , but very higher sustainable price The other yet to have a learning time curve . The model of Brazilian the small one need to compete the big is yet true , this is why the ecological , woman and children labor problems all need to be solved , but however this ecological learning is an important problem that need to yet be solved for the best model to come over again wit lowest learning time.
The new farmer made cooperative of distributed small distillery is going to make 50 percent ethanol to bigger centralised plants .This can make survival of small as small is also fighting very hard as no one hear the voice .

The one Big Brazilian ethanol producing leader is already very successful to make make the world largest Ethanol from cane bagasse in a pilot scale , which is also become successful to make integrated this system one with the soybeans processing to become world leader in bio diesel production with joint venture with European biodiesel .

The Big and Small Biosystems Project of Fuel and energy production

Bye the way is there any other way to increase the competitiveness of vis-a-vis petrodiesel apart from reduced feedstock cost, higher operating efficiency and higher oil prices.

The way to increase the competitiveness of biodiesel , following the big Brazilian business company is to make the process integration with by products from soya and sugar cane , thus able to reduce the price of biocombustivel to be less than petro disel This actually e economically and technically possible , may the best strategy to become world leader , , but not sustainable ecologicaly and socially.Most of the biofuel list members know why from the past posts.

The Brazilians ethanol experience based of making big scale biodiesel using private and public money had faced several economic crises, even though they are successful in the case of ethanol.The biodiesel production can be small one, very competitive with big plants with the help of the local government, as this fuel is made for the people by the people from sever all local raw material.this plant can be flexible . A small hand made press can give raw material for biodiesel plant, as Small need not depend on big oil mill to make the fuel .

Who will become the winner of the world leader of biodiesel ?

.The country which has social networking to make small decentralised bio fuel from decentralised raw material .The answer is Brazil which has the largest social network using orkut and Face book , I am not sure , but Brazil is the leader with younger generation communicating on social network , surely not yet on bio fuel now , but can be easily move .

The country which has more than 30 percent of the best land , Brazil may the only one , no one nearby.

The country which has more water resource in the world , Brazil again.

The country where small ethanol plant is competing successful with big one , again Brazil can make possible decentralised biodiesel. Yes, Brazil too.


The country which has good learning time curve for biofuel , again Brazil can make possible decentralised biodiesel. Yes, Brazil too

The country which is the founder of the World Social Economic forum , which now extend to U.S.A l , again Brazil surly can make possible decentralised biodiesel .

welcome here to have input for this debate
