The advantage the induction furnace has is the speed per EU cost. An electric furnace with enough overclockers to smelt 1 item per tick could smelt a stack in ~3 seconds, but the EU used would be insane to keep up with.
is there a benefit to turn biomass into biofuel?

The boiler will keep it's temperature, yes. It's temperature only goes down if you stop fueling it, at a slower rate with bigger boilers. It takes a little over 5 hours for a 36HP boiler to reach 1000 C.
You're missing the point. The problem is not getting a IC2 version of the still, the problem is that he keeps making stuff with better conversion ratio's (such as his own geothermal generator) that in the end makes easy energy setups even easier. THe only reason to add "the same but better" is to get people to use your mod instead of other mods. It would preferrable if he would add stuff that's new and attrackt people that way.
I tend to play under the idea that every mod worth being in a pack should be focused on enhancing the players gameplay experience; not simply making things more tedious to be 'harder' so that you can afford the time and effort to make a machine that builds other machines from the same mod.
That's why i detest Greg tech and the way IC2 has gone.
The most fun I get from technology centric mods is trying to eke out an extra 2-3% efficiency fuel/energy usage, an extra 10% on production, a lower TCO (total cost of Ownership) for similar processes and reduction of footprint for any given setup.
Being a blanket 1'up device does not fit that bill.
Mod makers need to stop focusing so much on 7 step crafting, arbitrarily adding whatever is the rarest commodity and 'standing out by plagiarism' at any one time and start focusing on getting people WANTING to use their mod.
One of the biggest problems is not how power is handled in ftb, it's the fact that short of quarrying and maybe a forcefield system, large scale intrinsic power production has very little usage or point. it's a bit like not automating a base and playing minecraft simply to keep investing 90% of your gaming into simply maintaining it running 24/7 so that you can enjoy exploration and intricate design in your almost non-existent downtime.
That's right the way Minecraft is being modded makes it more and more like a JOB, than a game.
Yes, i'd love to see more uses for power. I generally play on servers, and it seems to be just bragging rights for how much power you can generate. Along with how much unused metals and diamonds you have in an ME system. Or cobble, or saplings, etc.
It doesn't take long to get enough power in any mod, and then nothing much to use it on. At least some mods are becoming more and more configurable. I notice power from Big Reactors is much lower, and recipes a bit tougher, in TPPI2 than in Infinity or DW20, which i sort of like. As is, there's something wrong being able to jump to nuclear power with only a furnace and crafting table.
