For another biomass example - the Indians have been using sewer/waste gas generators and running the old Chicago CTA busses on the resulting Methane and other gases for years. The gases can be converted to liquid with a process similar to Fischer-Trosht. Madison,Wi is running some electric generators using landfill gases- mostly Methane in mix but Butane, Ethane also noted as produced. Chinese have used a capped lagoon, low tech system to recover gas also- run water heaters and small generators. some city waste plants have been capturing their waste gas and using it internally for heat and power to run the sewer treatment plant- some have compressed extra gas and used /sold it offsite- is same as CNG-Compressed Natural Gas. LP gas possible with extra compression and cooling. Castor beans still source of Castor oil, old racers of 2-strokes know it works good in high powered engines. Jajoba plant has oil that replaces whale oil in positraction rear ends and some other gear applications. Grow your own fuel and lube- problem is cost and distribution. Amish growing hay for transportation fuel and field (real horse) horsepower may be simplest way. RN
