while reducing greenhouse gas emissions everybody winssaid Mel Kurtz president of quasar energy group. uasar Columbus facility can produce 1. 3 million gasoline gallon equivalents of CNG each year. hat
and Oklahoma infrastructure in some states is scarce. o avoid feelings of range anxiety common in owners of CNG-only vehicles we made the Impala bi-fuel allowing our customers to drive on CNG when available and on gasoline
The CNG tank mounted in the trunk has the equivalent capacity of 7. 8 gallons of gasoline
With gasoline and compressed natural gas combined expected range is 500 city miles based on GM testing. EPA estimates are not yet available.
Impala bi-fuel system seamlessly switches to gasoline power when the CNG tank is depleted. Drivers who wish to change fuels
Operating on CNG can result in an average fuel savings of nearly $1. 13 per gasoline-gallon-equivalent based on a national average of $3. 24 per gallon of gasoline as reported by AAA
Also CNG vehicles typically have 20 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline-powered cars according to the California Air Resources Board.
The development of the new packaging products for a global market will make an important contribution towards the reduction of the dependency of the packaging sector on petroleum resources and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time successfully the entire production chain for renewable kerosene, using concentrated light as a high-temperature energy source.
The syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) was converted then into kerosene by Shell using the established"Fischer-Tropsch"process.
the processing of syngas to kerosene is already being deployed by companies, including Shell, on a global scale.
sustainable and scalable supplies of aviation fuel as well as diesel and gasoline, or even plastics. Fischer-Tropsch derived fuels are certified already
The only byproduct is water unlike gasoline combustion which emits carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas. Most of these vehicles will run on fuel manufactured at large industrial plants that produce hydrogen by combining very hot steam and natural gas an energy-intensive process that releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
The technology could also drive down operating costs for base stations in the developing world where these stations rely on expensive diesel fuel for power

hence there won't be a pool of hydrogen on the ground as is the case for kerosene.
Hydrogen, like kerosene, needs an igniter or a heat source to initiate combustion so it doesn't ignite spontaneously,
An alternative fuel could be liquefied natural gas such as super-cold liquid methanethe big question now is how to create all of that hydrogen. ind turbines could actually store their energy by producing hydrogen,
An alternative fuel could be liquefied natural gas such as super-cold liquid methane; when stored as a liquid it needs far less space than gas. f a market for small business jets existed,
LA will never fully replace petroleum-based plastics. For one thing, some objects, such as toilet drain pipes, are meant not to be biodegradable.
By combining semiconducting nanowires and bacteria, researchers can now produce liquid fuel. Three pioneers in the field of synthetic photosynthesis discuss the potential of this technology
including biodegradable plastics, pharmaceutical drugs and even liquid fuels. Scientists with the U s. Department of energy (DOE)' s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley have created a hybrid system of semiconducting nanowires and bacteria
The yields of target chemical molecules produced from the acetate were also encouraging--as high as 26-percent for butanol, a fuel comparable to gasoline, 25-percent for amorphadiene, a precursor to the antimaleria drug artemisinin,

The liquid layer on the surface provides a barrier to everything from ice to crude oil and blood.
but both companies are interested also in creating a cost-competitive product that is a better economic alternative than the petroleum-based isoprene,
When it opens next year it will have the capacity to produce 650000 kilograms of hydrogen a year the energy equivalent of 650000 gallons of gasoline.
Hydrogenics which has supplied electrolyzers for many of the biggest projects in Germany is designing a 40-megawatt system that will produce the equivalent of 4. 3 million gallons of gasoline a year.
But soybean isnt productive enough to meet the nations need for renewable diesel fuels Long said.
Previously, flights on biofuels had been limited to a 50 percent blend with petroleum making this a major breakthrough.
Production and use of advanced biofuel could displace at least 15 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel the equivalent of 475 million barrels of oil each year by 2022, reducing oil imports by $70 billion
The U s. Navy has recognized long the importance of reducing dependence on foreign oil as it strives toward its goal of cutting petroleum use 50 percent by 2020.
The Pentagon spent $17. 3 billion on petroleum in 2011, a 26 percent increase from the previous year with practically no change in the volume purchased.
#Cow Manure to Ethanol Plant Switches On in California's San joaquin valley The San joaquin valley has become America breadbasket over the past few decades.
The recent launch of the Calgren Ethanol Plant in the Tulare County town of Pixley is a step in helping California meet its clean energy goals while addressing the San joaquin valley terrible air pollution.
which can then be blended with conventional gasoline. The core of Calgren plant is an anaerobic digester built by DVO,
In addition to generating ethanol biogas will also be produced in order to power the facility, nixing any need to be connected to the local grid.
Mckinney added that the ethanol produced at this plant results in the lowest carbon-emitting ethanol currently refined at an industrial scale throughout California.

And yet, PLA is considered not yet a full alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics, as it is costly to produce.
However, PLA is not yet a full alternative for petroleum-based plastics due to its cost. The production process for PLA is expensive because of the intermediary steps."
Of course, PLA will never fully replace petroleum-based plastics. For one thing, some objects, such as toilet drain pipes, are meant not to be biodegradable.
CNF offers many benefits over current chip substrates, she says. he advantage of CNF over other polymers is that it a bio-based material and most other polymers are based petroleum polymers.
While biofuels have proven to be an effective, renewable, low-carbon alternative to gasoline and diesel, jet fuels pose unique challenges.
The concentrations of carbon and other greenhouse gases in Earth atmosphere are now at their highest levels in the past three million years, primarily as a result of the burning of petroleum and other fossil fuels.
