Who hasn’t dreamt about a flying car after watching films like “Back to the future” and “The Man with the Golden Gun“?

One possibility for that dream to become a reality may come from the Dutch Aerospace Laboratory, as this article reports.  Their solution is more of a combined car and helicopter, which would fly in GPS-controlled air corridors.  And yes, apparently it will be able to run on bio-ethanol.

I wonder how long it will be, until I can fly to my customers?

It seems that in the World of statistics, there is now a space for biofuels.  And the winner is… Brazil, who not produce the most bio-ethanol but also the most biodiesel.

According to articlesworld.com, they account for half the production of bio-ethanol on the planet!

With the USA in second place, how much of the market does the European production really have?

This week the environmental news is full of reports that bio-ethanol production uses more water than was previously thought.

Many of them say that the usage is about three times higher than was previously claimed, something that may not be welcome news in parts of the World where water is in short supply.

However, it is not all bad news.  Apparently Minnesota and Iowa, for whatever reason, use less water than other states in the production process.

I wonder if making it from wood chippings, as is often the case in Scandinavia, needs more or less?

Iranian TV has apparently announce Iran’s intention to start producing bio-ethanol.

Is it looking for an alternative to oil?
