World energy outlook
This document provides an analysis and forecast of world oil and North American natural gas markets from Groppe, Long & Littell, an oil and gas analysis firm. Some key points:
- World crude oil production has peaked and will decline while dependency on countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Venezuela increases. Liquids from gas will supplement declining crude supplies.
- North American natural gas production has already peaked and total supply will decline. Imports of LNG will increase while Canadian imports decrease.
- High prices are needed to constrain oil consumption but will drive substitution away from gas and toward lower-cost alternatives for industrial and power users. Nuclear is a logical long-term solution.

Oil crisis and economy
The document summarizes the 1970s oil crisis and its economic and social impacts. An oil embargo imposed by OPEC in response to U.S. support for Israel led to sharply increased oil and gasoline prices. This caused high inflation known as stagflation, characterized by rising prices and unemployment despite low growth. In the U.S., gas prices quadrupled, shortages occurred, and odd/even day rationing was implemented to cope with long lines at gas stations. President Carter asked Americans to conserve energy through various measures like lowering thermostats and speed limits.

A short history of biofuels
The history of biofuels can be divided into four stages:
1) 1820s-1906: Lamp fuels like ethanol were popular until the US imposed a tax on ethanol but not kerosene, creating the oil industry.
2) 1906-1940s: Ethanol and other additives helped increase gasoline's octane rating to allow for more powerful car engines.
3) 1970s-1980s: The oil embargoes led to increased focus on ethanol to reduce dependence on foreign oil.
4) 1990s-present: Issues around carbon footprint and impacts on food and biodiversity have been recognized, leading to new certification standards in the EU and US.
Project LIBERTY Blastoff
The document summarizes Project LIBERTY, a collaboration between POET and the US Department of Energy to develop a commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plant. It discusses the 2007 corn cob harvest trials on farmer Darrin Ihnen's fields and plans for the 2008 harvest, equipment trials, and launch of the first phase of the Project LIBERTY plant. The goal is to produce ethanol from corn cobs and fiber to reduce dependence on foreign oil and greenhouse gas emissions.
Typhoon Group- Global Warming
Man, whether or not he admits it, is hastening the speed of the heating of the Earth. Here are some facts on global warming, true case studies, prevention techniques and analyses on failing government solutions to the problem we often pretend is not there.
Why Run Your Car on Vegetable
This document discusses the benefits of running vehicles on straight vegetable oil (SVO) as an alternative to fossil fuels. It notes that fossil fuel use is the main driver of global warming, with disastrous environmental consequences. While vehicles running on fossil fuels are a major cause of increased carbon dioxide, SVO has virtually zero net CO2 emissions because the CO2 released is reabsorbed by plants. Using SVO is identified as one of the largest individual steps someone can take to reduce their contribution to global warming. SVO is also a renewable fuel from crops, unlike finite fossil fuels whose high prices and conflict they cause will increase. The document outlines additional benefits of SVO including improved farm incomes and stronger rural economies.

Here is the full presentation covering all 13 stories:
The Evolution of Biobutanol
The document discusses the evolution of biobutanol as a potential next generation biofuel, comparing it to ethanol. It notes that in the late 1970s, rising oil prices and energy security concerns led to the growth of the US ethanol industry using corn. Similarly today, concerns around oil supply and the environment are driving interest in biobutanol, which is produced through fermentation and is superior to ethanol as a fuel or chemical. The document outlines the market for butanol and various companies developing biobutanol technology.
SiS Biofuels O Connell 2007
The document discusses the prospects for biofuels in Australia. It notes that first generation biofuels are currently limited due to high costs but may provide regional opportunities. Second generation technologies using lignocellulosic feedstocks could have lower costs and broader fuel production. For biofuels to play a significant role, issues of sustainability must be addressed including impacts on land and water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and community acceptance. Third generation biorefinery approaches producing high value products along with energy show intriguing long term prospects if sustainability challenges can be met.
