Biofuels: bad for the environment? 11:03am on 29 Apr 2008 Crop derived bio fuels currently seems to be a bit of an Oops! Likewise hydrogen fuel cell technology, clean though it is is from what I read and hear is about as inefficient as is possible requiring huge amounts of energy to create the hydrogen in the first place, not the panacea it seems.

Could these two things not be combined? are there not some clever bugs that can digest waste and effluent and other things we don't want but can't avoid producing and use them to create hydrogen or certainly methane which has huge amounts of hydrogen in it?

Just a thought
