Our Purpose
Thursday, May 19, 2011
The purpose of OpenFuelStandard.org is to provide information to citizens who want to help the Open Fuel Standard Act become law. We will be publishing posts that provide three things:
1. Practical actions you can take that will help pass the Open Fuel Standard Act of 2011.
2. Information to further educate you on the Open Fuel Standard.
3. Posts you can forward to your friends and family to educate them about the Open Fuel Standard.
We strongly urge you to subscribe to the email updates to make sharing the information easy. Click here to subscribe.

Alot of corn is going to meet the flex fuel demand. This in turn has caused the price of feed for livestock to go up and the cost is passed on to the consumer at the grocery store. Not so sure I support this fully.
Support this act so that we can bring methanol and biogasoline to Michigan and the rest of the country. We have been operating our plant here:

We continue to need support for open fuels and giving options to the consumer to select low cost flex fuels.
Alot of corn will not be used. Its too expensive. But other sources such as Methonal from gas will be big winners. For all the 99%'s out there who are so against big business and big oil, here is your chance to get behind something to really open up the market. Imagine having the choice at pump(or different stations) where you could choose your fuel type! Amazing..this is a no brainer.
Seems a good idea. The standard would allow methanol from coal, gas or bio waste to be used as fuel. The problems of converting grass or wood, as well as corn, to fuel would be solved. One could even use nuclear power !shock! !horror! to drive the conversion of the above, or nuclear electricity to convert CO2 from industrial plants or seawater to methanol. You'll note that, at present, K C Tran's plant in Iceland is using geothermal power to produce methanol from CO2 and electricity.
