Turnkey Crop-to-Fuel

Posted on: July 18th, 2008 by Ed Ring

EFuel Corporation. located in Los Gatos, California, is heralding the next generation of biofuel production and distribution, by selling a ” EFuel100 MicroFueler,” a turnkey device that will turn biofuel sugars feedstock into ethanol, and pump it into your vehicle’s tank.

This company claims this machine consumes 3.0 kilowatt-hours to produce one gallon of E100 ethanol.  It takes 170 gallons during the fermentation phase to produce 35 gallons of ethanol.  The rest of the water can be recycled.

Is EFuel for real?  Can their ‘gas pump’ interface for the end-user, their easy to use interface for the operator, and a convenient hopper to prepare and process the feedstock, all be combined in one elegant and affordable unit?  We shall see.

Here are the FAQs for EFuel Corp:

One might remember in the summer of 2008 there were a lot of companies in “preorder” phase.

Our hearts are with you, EFuel Corp.  May you deliver and prosper.

  1. sam Says:

    is it true that 100% ethanol can used in any gasoline engine?

  2. Ed Ring Says:

    as i understand it any normal gasoline engine can be converted to run on 100% ethanol, and the total cost of vehicle conversion is usually not very much

  3. mak Says:
