The great contribution of Francisco Angulo’s patents, this is why its incalculable economic value, is exactly that this principle is used to the biofuel’s production and comes from the carbon of any organic waste.<br /><br />The microorganisms that synthesize useful products for men represent, at most, a few hundred species among the more than 100,000 described in Nature. The few that have been useful for industry are valuated for procuding a substance that can not be achieved easily or cheaply by other methods. Next it is going to be explained the advantages that ECOFA has with regard current biodiesel:<br /><br />* Almost the whole solution to the problem that exists in municipalities with the treatment and storage of domestic rubbish. Moreover, the process produces methane gas and it is also left a remain that could be used as organic fertilizer for fields.<br />* It would not be necessary to used specific fields of maize, wheat, barley, beets, etc.. which would remain for human consume without creating distortions or famines with unforeseeable consequences.<br />* So, it would be possible that farmers had to use less plowing , so the field could recover, in a natural way, the lost carbon ( agriculture’s conservation).<br />* The monocultures’s productions are always more favourable to pests, as it is not spread (because it is not only used to biodiesel ) the risk is lower<br />* Possibility for town halls of the autonomous processing in its own plants that will generate and will bring wealth to rural populations. The production would be mainly in consumption’s towns, so it would not be necessary pipelines, nor ships sailing with cargo that could be poured into the sea, since the producing plants are not very complex nor expensive and any town can install it without too much complications.<br />* According to the environment, the use of RSU (Solid Urban Waste) for energy production, is expected to present some added benefits of those that already exist in biofuels. Particularly with regard to smells, the improve of the landscapes and the reduction of pollution in the air, water and soil.<br />* Finally this microbial technique can be extended to other organic debris, plants or animals, such as those contained in the urban sewage. You can even experiment with other materials such as carbon sources, and this opens up a lot of possibilities; it is only necessary to find out the appropriate bacteria and make them work as a huge army of workers without pay, eating letfovers without stopping, as they reproduce by cloning and therefore bringing more and more quantity of ecocombustible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801240314083394704.post-4726147544244976182009-06-18T10:24:25.022+08:002009-06-18T10:24:25.022+08:00flyingfish:

Note that one of our key findings was that there are Chinese cities that perform well on environmental information disclosure, so the common excuse that China can't do it at its current stage of development rings false. Working with Ma Jun, we developed an "all-star team" composed of the best performing cities in each of the 8 categories we measured. That all-star team scored nearly 90 points out of 100.<br /><br />Keep up the great blogging.

Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if they keep switching back and forth between major foreign blogging portals, just to keep us on our toes, and perhaps on Chinese websites instead.<br /><br />Why not open a blog on a Chinese site? It's guaranteed never to get blocked by the national firewall -- you just risk you annoying somebody and getting tossed off the site. I'm not sure which risk is greater.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm posting using Witopia now, $40 a year is a real bargain, it's fast and reliable.<br /><br />Good luck...Robhttp://sinocanadian.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801240314083394704.post-76165517696321533242009-05-16T14:44:00.000+08:002009-05-16T14:44:00.000+08:00Let's hear it for VPN and the First Amendment!Let's hear it for VPN and the First Amendment!flyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041819869743431324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801240314083394704.post-70341961630909354292009-05-16T11:47:00.000+08:002009-05-16T11:47:00.000+08:00Thanks for posting this info.
