Transport was always going to be an issue until biofuel is produced on a large enough scale that some of the fuel produced can power the transportation of it to the point of sale and the raw materials in to produce it. Its just a matter of reaching that critical mass.

I did not mean the final product but the raw fuel.
As the gent in the article said, it is one thing to haul in a few truck loads for the experiment but the input will have to huge and continuous, and there is no supply or supply form that can promise that, in the foreseeable future.

For non-corn bio-mass the delivery has to equal a truck load every six minutes 24hrs a day.

Unless one has a plant that neer stops grows as fast a corn on a warm humid day in June, it is not going to happen, now switch to some form of slurry base for a bug to work on and one does not have to think far to see problems.
