The emerging enthusiasm for biodiesel prompts me to consider the praticallity of capturing enough sunlight by photosynthesis in order to power the average car in central europe.
Can anyone tell be:-
The average sunlight energy falling per metre of ground in Britain.
How efficient the proposed plants are in producing usable oil content.
The final crunch question - how many hectares/acres of crop would be needed to provide enough biodiesel to power the average family car for say 500 kms - averaged over a year to allow for overcast weather and seasonal growth.
Any ideas ?
