New Biofuels Process

"The new approach modifies conventional methods for producing liquid fuels from biomass by adding hydrogen from a 'carbon-free' energy source, such as solar or nuclear power, during a step called gasification. Adding hydrogen during this step suppresses the formation of carbon dioxide and increases the efficiency of the process, making it possible to produce three times the volume of biofuels from the same quantity of biomass, said Rakesh Agrawal, Purdue's Winthrop E. Stone Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering." (Emphasis added).

Now, is this too good to be true? (via SAF)

Why don't we have an elite, Manhattan Project-like team working on this so that we can solve this energy problem faster?
