New Concept: Animal Slurry to Farmers Gasoline
It is farmers tradition to refine their produces and take it all the way to the consumer market. So they will do with their valuable waste too.
A new concept involves all process steps from animal slurry to bio-methanol and its distribution from farmer-owned gasoline filling stations. That's the way agriculture collects all contributions from the entire value chain. Contributions from biogas produced from urban waste will be accepted as well and citizens and farmers will jointly share the dividend.
In Denmark use of biofuels in gasoline blends is rewarded with lower tax, which makes 1 liter of methanol 44% worth more than 1 liter of gasoline in low blends. It is tempting for farmers to take advantage of this added value.

2013 the World used 65 million t of methanol. 14% was used in gasoline blends and stepping up by 24% a year. In China methanol has by now replaced 8% of the motor fuel and is is expected to consume half the world's production of methanol this year.
