.. yes You are right.

But I wil not be so sure with algae or with some oter very siple organism..wher the quantity of area needed will be much more lower. this is, the crops we are talking take a lot of space per unit energy.

So... I think that if you number are rigth.. I will be for looking into these alternative organisms...

By the way.. it wa actually close to 15 % a factor of 3 plus doubling efficiency of cars makes it 90%...so enough for a very goof fleat.

A pleasure

I found this page on algae. It contains calculations similar to the ones we have been engaging in regarding fuel use and land use.

..so it seems second generation is certainly a possibility.

Do we include it in the input?

Yes, as R+D. But not before 2010 and possibly only on an experimental basis (though the EU could fund large-scale experiments) in 2010-2020.
