Bio woes..

so the Malaysian government announced in the papers today that they will start the phase implementation of bio diesel tentatively on Feb 2009..first phase will be for all the government vehicles, followed by public transportation and personal cars respectively..

its now a race within all the oil companies to built the best/first facilities to cater to the capacity required for the bio fuels..

at only 5% difference (normal fuel 95% palm oil 5%), is it really worth the millions of dollars spent to change the infrastructure?

sustainability and environmentally aspect of it - of course its worth every penny..

but have we really thought this through?

i for one gladly welcome the change, having wrote a paper on it last year for my Masters degree on the future of sea transport, but the difference is that was for marine use only, this is talking about on the road public vehicles where the logistics is even more far and wide..

but we'll see :)


will it come to this? :p
