Synthetic-Biology Scientists are now working on artificial photosynthesis and engineering yeast & glucose to become more efficient than nature currently allows them. They are working on producing fuel with the anti – malarial drug called Artemisinins, a hydro-carbon which has similar properties to diesel fuel. (please see appendix 1)

Imagine that you could have a process which takes in sunlight and C02 to produce fuel!!!

Ethanol as fuel started in Brazil, reducing fossil fuel dependence. Brazil has a perfect climate for growing sugarcane, which has generated 30 billion dollars. (please see appendix 2)

Efficient process – grind plant up extract sugar put into tanks combined with yeast, heat distills the ethanol and produces fuel. The heat also produces electricity renewably and puts no C02 into the atmosphere.

The future is going to require liquid biofuels. So… How the hell do I invest into the sugar cane industry? (please see appendix 3)
