Scientists at the University of Maine have invented a simple two-step way to turn wood and even garbage into fuel, that could power your car and heat your home.

I've already got a two step process to heat my home with wood.

1) Load wood into furnace.
2) Ignite wood.

Cool, but very old, technology that gets super-high efficiency out of burning wood to heat your home.

Wood actually heats three times. When you cut it, when you split it and when you burn it. :)
