XOM/CVX study new Biofuels

[buster]

Quote:
Exxon Mobil, Chevron and other major international oil companies are seeking technology breakthroughs to make gasoline and diesel from renewable sources as they shun fuel from food crops.

Companies are researching ways of making fuels from waste products and non-edible plants to supplement traditional oil supply. The executive director of the International Energy Agency, Nobuo Tanaka, said Wednesday that he was "cautious" about so-called "first- generation" biofuels made from corn and sugar because they compete with food requirements.

Or rather, how easily are they manipulated to hold their genius in reserve until the side effects of flawed processes painfully apparent in their failure to meet alleged goals ...or rather ..how alleged goals are mislabeled and used for other agendas.....
