#Biofuel-to-hydrocarbon conversion technology licensedvertimass LLC a California-based start-up company has licensed an Oak ridge National Laboratory technology that directly converts ethanol into a hydrocarbon blend-stock for use in transportation fuels.
and widely license breakthrough technologies that substantially expand the use of sustainable transportation fuels that reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Commercialization will lead to the widespread use of proprietary Vertimass technology for low cost production of sustainable transportation fuels for aircraft and heavy and light duty vehicles from multiple sources of biomass on a large scale.
So passengers will be able to get on their mobile apps and place the order while they're standing in the security line.
24/7 (for the ER doctor at the hospital or the late-arriving passenger at the train station).
These companies, Cyber-Rain and ET Water, have released both recently cloud services that provide guidance about
which will reduce the cost of transportation. That's a significant benefit. Often, where the energy resource is is far away from where you want to consume that resource.
TRANSPORTATION The shift from self-and animal-powered transportation to the steam engine was also transformative.
of course--but the major environmental pollution problem at the turn of the century was the millions of pounds of manure in city streets produced by horses used for transport.
At the time, gasoline-powered vehicles provided clean streets, Chu said. Now we have another environmental problem,
you need to retrofit your vehicle to handle it. One dirty little secret? The EPA waiver.
and go to popular private equity center Sand Hill Road. There are a lot of incentives out there. Once you're successful there are incentives,
Ethanol is projected to rise to 20 percent of the overall transportation fuel supply. Drop in fuels and non-food feedstocks are needed.
The craft has received recently endorsements from authorities of both road and sky, meaning that the classic retrofuturistic dream of a dual-mode flying car is well within grasp.
Last June, the vehicle received a license plate from the Florida Department of transportation. This means what it sounds like it means:
that the Maverick Sport is a street-legal, air-legal vehicle. So, how'd the Indigenous Peoples Technology and Education Center (I-TEC) guide their creation through the narrow, winding halls of state and federal transportation institutions?
Quite cleverly: Rather than seek Federal Highway Administration certification for their vehicle â a process that requires boatloads of money for crash tests,
among other things â they've designed it as a kit car. These can be licensed in most states...
As for the hardware, it's a lithe, 900lb vehicle reminiscent of a dune buggy. Its creators say that it can accelerate from 0-60 in under four seconds,
but to solve practical transportation problems in the developing world. From CNN: What we're doing here at
They are working on things like better batteries to replace oil used in transportation. And they are doing natural gas research.
Transportation The industrial world addiction to cars is costly and will become more so. The U s. uses roughly 21 million barrels of oil per day.
The Texas Transportation Institute has found that in the United states alone 2. 3 billion gallons of gas is wasted each year in traffic jams.
Globally, the number of vehicles on the world roads will grow from 800 million now to 1. 1 billion in the next 15 years.
Public transportation is cited often as a cure for oil addiction. In the United states, rise of disabled elderly Americans will strain public transportation systems.
Futurist Fixes 1. Non Human (Robotic) Transportation: The same drone technology that the U s. military is using in Afghanistan could be put to use in the United states to transport goods between locations safer and faster than human drivers.
This could potentially free up roadways for humans as robot drivers could take a different route,
The U s. military hopes to soon use drones for cargo transportation and refueling. This is certainly a realistic hope according to Missy Cummings, director of the Humans and Automation Lab at MIT.
Cummings reports that oeseveral U s. government agencies are seriously considering how to use unmanned vehicles in first strike or initial invasion settings.
In the unmanned vehicle invasion scenario, oethe UAVS do the initial strike; we send in robots on the beach
With support from Shell and inspiration from air-powered car concepts in Europe, the project aimed to develop a compressed air engine that would power a vehicle:
and even Star trek-like transporters. In quantum mechanics, a particle, such as an electron circling the nucleus of an atom,

IFPRI researchers found areas with highly dense roads also had a lower rate of land degradation and deforestation."
and in such areas, the roads were not affecting deforestation as we would expect.""Degradation of forests
Low-cost sensors, clever software and advancing computer firepower are opening the door to new uses in energy conservation, transportation, health care and food distribution.
