Mobile plants drive biofuel production [Power Biofuels]

A mobile biomass refinery is set to take biofuels to places they have never reached before. Mobile biofuel plants, the size of large lorries, will soon be roaming the US ready to convert any kind of biomass into liquid fuel, claim researchers from Purdue University, Indiana. Professor Agrawal and colleagues have already developed a laboratory-scale prototype and hope to have a full-scale version up and running within the next five years.
