Næt - can you explain please.
And do yo have data on the energy density of Spam? Or is this an unsubstantiated claim? And beyond powering vehicles and other motorised tools what else is gasoline used for;-?
spam has 176 Calories per 2-ounce serving, so 5891000 Joules per pound. So it takes ~22 pounds of spam to get the same amount of energy as in a gallon of gasoline.
This is kind of silly though.
I agree, the benchmark energy content foodstuff in the peak oil community is Cap'n Crunch.
Hi Folks,
More importantly, what is the EROEI of this 'fuel'? The real context is that 'spam' and all similar processed foods have huge hidden energy inputs - it might be useful to do an analysis on the energy input into producing these 'foods' - a life-cycle analysis - from farm to sewage plant - so to speak...
L,
Sid.
