Most people think of beets, corn and sugar cane as basic foodstuffs, but Argentine scientists keen to take biofuels a step further are using them to develop a greener alternative to petrochemicals. The pioneering project is being developed by Quimica True, a small automotive products plant just outside Buenos Aires which up until now has devoted itself to producing conventional auto-related liquids based on petroleum-derived chemicals. Their aim is to use bioalcohols - alcohols produced from crops -- as a replacement for traditional fossil fuels to make products ranging from brake fluid to engine coolant.
