Biofuel or bunk?

Biofuel or bunk?Biofuels. Bunk?Hard to say whether they are bunk or not. There are at least as many energy/cost models of biofuel production/distribution as there are consultancies/universities with departments to study them. What is clear though is that there needs to be a dramatic increase in fuel efficiency in the...

Houses made of waste

Some engineers are more ambitious than others. Two UK engineers plan to replace the 350 million concrete blocks manufactured in the UK each year by blocks made almost entirely of waste materials such as crushed glass, pulverized fuel ash, and bitumen, a by-product of the petrochemical industry. The Bitublocks are...
