One great and rather pressing goal modern society faces is creating renewable, cost efficient energy for the entire globe. Of course this energy must also be considerate of the environment, having little or no negative impact on the planet whatsoever. This was the goal of Sustainable Power Corp (SSTP), to discover a means to produce a cost efficient biofuel, a goal not previously realized by any other biofuel producers. In fact, the cost for producing one gallon of biofuel from crops like corn or soybeans is about $2.10 per gallon, and the amount of biofuel that can be produced from 1 ton of a particular food crop is about 70 to 80 gallons. Simple math shows that this does not provide significant advantage for the consumer. It must also be considered that potentially hazardous consequences of turning to a food-based energy alternative. Of course here we're talking about food prices. A recent report from the World Bank showed that the production of biofuels made from food crops has increased the cost of foods by 75 percent in local markets. This is contrary to the original estimate, which read that the increase in food costs by producing biofuels would not increase by more than 3 percent. Because of this implication, it would seem unwise to continue on with this line of technology. Continue Reading »
