"Concept Ice Vehicle" Powered by Biofuel

An auto manufacturer has revealed a concept vehicle on the ice which resists temperatures of -72 degrees Celsius, going with a speed of up to 134 km per hour and is friendly with the environment at the same time.

The new Lotus ice vehicle which goes on biofuel, will be tested on a distance of 4,800 km in Antarctica. 1150 BMW motorcycle engine adapted emit by approximately 70% less greenhouse gas emissions then petrol.

"Antarctica remains one of the greatest mysteries of the world," said Kieron Bradley, an ex Formula 1 designer who built the vehicle.

At first view, the vehicle is similar to a helicopter with three legs. This has a radar which allows it to detect the sections with thin ice that measure only 350 kg thus allowing the crew to push manually in abrupt areas.

A New Method To Boost Biofuel

Because of the energy crisis that is looming on the horizon, the biofuel was initially hailed as a hero because it could save the planet. But it is a problem because the first generation bio fuels made from food crops is the cause for the crises which are now on the horizon. Scientists are looking for new ways to produce biofuel from alternate sources, so we escape food crops from destruction.

A new method recently discovered that can make biodiesel is algae. Green Star is a company that works to achieve biofuel from algae and they just announced the creation of a new micronutrient that can help boost daily algae growth rate at 34% and increase the total biomass quantity in a harvest algae growth cycle by well over 100 %. This discovery is very good because it would mean to achieve biofuel without destroying the food crops.

The Green Star will send to all research institutes and universities sample bottles to test this new method. I'm very glad because t was discovered this new method and we save the food crops from destruction.
