#Beer and Food Scraps Can Power Chevrolet Bi-fuel Impala Trash to fuel the stuff of the 1980s sci-fi comedy movie trilogy ack to the Futureis now a reality.
The 2015 Bi-fuel Chevrolet Impala not a tricked-out Delorean really can run on leftovers table scraps and oh yeah grains from brewing beer.
which is converted then into Compressed natural gas (CNG) one of two fuels that can power the 2015 Chevrolet Bi-fuel Impala.
enough to fill the CNG tanks of 163000 Bi-fuel Impalas at least once. Though CNG fueling stations are prevalent in states like California
Drivers who wish to change fuels while driving can do so by simply pushing a button.
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
The Bi-fuel Impala is built factory so its CNG fuel system is validated by GM and covered by GM three-year/36000-mile (whichever comes first) new vehicle limited bumper-to-bumper warranty
The Bi-fuel Impala is the only bifuel-capable sedan on the market to offer a factory warranty.
When the Bi-fuel Impala goes on sale later this year it will have a starting price of $38210.
on the other hand, remove the carbon from fuel before combustion and produce hydrogen, which is much more energy efficient,
However, the results give hope that in future any liquid hydrocarbon fuels could be produced from sunlight
Fischer-Tropsch derived fuels are certified already and can be used by existing vehicles and aircraft without modifications of their engines or of fuel infrastructure.
Background The four-year SOLAR-JET project was launched in June 2011 and is receiving#2. 2 million of EU funding from the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7).
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.
That goal is achievable based on my most recent resultshe researchers also plan to develop a water splitter than runs on electricity produced by solar energy. ydrogen is an ideal fuel for powering vehicles buildings
This shows that through nanoscale engineering of materials we can really make a difference in how we make fuels
and use that energy to fuel autonomous walking along the carbon nanotube trackchoi says. The core is made of an enzyme that cleaves off part of a strand of RNA.
and developed the ability to react with oxide minerals rather than breathe oxygen as we do to convert organic nutrients into biological fuel.
and convert it into biological fuel their excess electrons flow into the carbon filaments and across to the positive electrode
which allows efficiently reprogramming unicellular life to make fuels, byproducts accessible from organic chemistry and smart devices.
A rocket s skin, for example, needs to contain a column of super-pressurized fuel and at the same time weigh as little as possible.
and to convert carbon dioxide to fuels for applications On earth and in space. Today industrial infrastructure manages basic resources linearly
In 2012, NASA began funding a Cambrian project, called Exogen, that uses electromethanogenesis to more efficiently extract oxygen or fuel from CO2 for long-duration space flights.
and fuel, release the oxygen that we breathe, and add beauty to our surroundings. Now, a team of MIT researchers wants to make plants even more useful by augmenting them with nanomaterials that could enhance their energy production
What is the impact of nanoparticles on the production of chemical fuels like glucose? Giraldo says.
and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, carcinogenic compounds formed from incomplete combustion of fuels, from contaminated soil. The process is irreversible
and reused for future applications. f the micromotors can use the environment as fuel, they will be more scalable, environmentally friendly and less expensive, Kevin Kaufmann,
Fuel factorjohan Steelant, a senior research engineer at the European space agency (Esa) and coordinator of Lapcat-II,
Fuel choice is important, especially as one consideration for any future hypersonic fleet will be to try to keep its emissions as low as possible.
This is why hydrogen was chosen, rather than a fuel based on hydrocarbons. Quote: Although hydrogen can be ignited,
the risks of an explosion or fire are lower compared to conventional airline kerosene fuel.
which simulates speeds up to Mach 1. 8. Hytex uses liquid hydrogen both as a fuel
While the design consumes two times more fuel per second than a Mach 4 plane, it gets to the destination in roughly half the time so the fuel consumed overall during the trip is roughly the same.
A question of heatdealing with heat will be a real concern. Anything travelling at Mach 5
"If the micromotors can use the environment as fuel, they will be more scalable, environmentally friendly and less expensive,"said Kaufmann n
Methane capture and storage provides a double environmental return-it removes a harmful greenhouse gas from the atmosphere that can then be used as a fuel that is cleaner than other fossil fuels.
The new Georgia Tech algorithm that fuels this system demonstrates the potential of easily controlling large teams of robots,
By 2020, the EU aims to have 10 per cent of the transport fuel of every EU country come from renewable sources such as biofuels.
Fuel suppliers are required also to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of the EU fuel mix by 6 per cent by 2020 in comparison to 2010.
"Biodiesel manufacture is a growing part of the EU fuel pool, with statutory amounts being required to be added to diesel that is derived from fossil fuels."
They specifically concentrated on the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide on metal electrodes because of the current interest in this process for sustainable production of fuels and value added chemicals,
such as reducing carbon dioxide to convert it into a usable fuel, Surendranath says. This could reduce emissions of a principal greenhouse gas that fosters climate change,
"said Lonnie O. Ingram, director of the Florida Center for Renewable Chemicals and Fuels at the University of Florida,
the Virginia Tech team used dirty biomass--the husks and stalks of corn plants--to create their fuel.
This not only reduces the initial expense of creating the fuel it enables the use of a fuel source readily available near the processing plants,
making the creation of the fuel a local enterprise. Rollin used a genetic algorithm along with a series of complex mathematical expressions to analyze each step of the enzymatic process that breaks down corn stover into hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
One of the biggest hurdles to widespread hydrogen use is the capital cost required to produce the fuel from natural gas in large facilities.
and oil industry in that we can produce chemicals and fuels in a totally renewable way, rather than extracting them from deep below the ground."
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,

Forget the food-versus-fuel debate: many of the crops grown in the valley are high-value products that are lucrative,
while clean fuel is culled from the manure, moisture is extracted also and then recycled so local farmers can use it to water their crops.
and hydrogen are getting a lot of media attention these days as the fuels of the future.
