Is that bad? Is there a similar article debunking/discussing (m)ethanol as an energy source?
- xphilter 7y agoYou don’t really need an article. Just have a critical mind. The net energy in exceeds energy out (for us based corn ethanol at least).
- bcoates 7y agoI don't think anyone's trying to run an aluminum smelter off ethanol, if it's a reasonable transport/peaking/storage fuel EROI is irrelevant.
- rm445 7y agoThat's the same confusion the article rails against. Methanol and ethanol are no more a source of energy than (terrestrial) hydrogen is. They just might be more convenient fuels, energy carriers.
