Solar energy by means of photosynthesis stores energy in trees and plants that can be converted into liquid fuels suitable for internal combustion engines. Similarly, ethanol could be produced from cellulose on large scale. There is no doubt that rising energy costs will lead to more concentrated research of such biological system; such that, energy gains made via plant photosynthesis using intensive systems are subsequently more than that lost in the conversion of biomass energy content into storable high energy fuels (i.e., ethanol ...
