gas (steam reforming of methane to generate hydrogen to feed into the Haber process)-- but with the new advances (http://www.greencarcongress.com/2008/07/researchers-at.html), it should be possible to generate that hydrogen
directly from water using sunlight; feed the hydrogen into the Haber process (energy expensive, true, but doable), and then you have your ammonia, convert half of that to nitrate, and there you have your ammonium nitrate fertilizer, which currently accounts for about 1/2 of all agricultral fossil
fuel use.

fuels contributing greenhouse -
gas emissions, with the revenue passed back
directly to citizens, avoiding the complexities of «cap and trade» bills.

gases sold
directly from natural
gas processing plants for
fuel or chemical uses.
As I've explained, there are in effect many buyers and many sellers in CO2E pricing, even if there is a government - enforced standard of delivering equal share equitably to all sellers per capita as there are different carbon intensities of essentially the same energy: electricity need not be produced from fossil
fuels, and where it is, the fossil
fuels may be less carbon intensive natural
gas, or enriched through geothermal or solar hydrotreating to become less carbon intensive, or the CO2 emissions can be
directly sequestered or used in coproduction to reduce net influx of CO2.
While European politicians and financiers continue to put their support behind the fossil
fuel industry, the local communities that will
directly feel the negative impacts on their lives are determined to stop projects like these
gas mega-pipelines from ever being built.
Yet the OPIC emissions cap effectively prevents it from participating in almost all natural
gas -
fuelled power projects — and thus
directly leaves millions of the global poor in the dark.
Most hydrogen is currently produced using fossil
fuels (mostly natural
gas) and using fossil - derived hydrogen as a
fuel on large scale is lunacy — far more efficient to use fossil
fuels directly.
Mark Perry writes: «As we observe Earth Day this year, it might be a good time to appreciate the fact that Americans get most of their plentiful, affordable energy
directly from the Earth's «natural environment» in the form of fossil
fuels (coal, natural

Think of consumer energy technologies as two basic types: those that run on electricity (anything that plugs in or has a battery) and those that
directly combust
fuels like oil, gasoline, natural
gas, or biomass.
Greenhouse
gas emissions from fossil
fuels not only pollute our air
directly; they also drive climate change, which can indirectly affect the quality of our air.
I think you'd be much better off just drying and pelletizing the cellulosic material and using a syngas generator to produce carbon monoxide and then
fuel your internal combustion engine
directly from the CO which requires very little modification to the engine — about the same as the modifications required to run it from natural
gas or propane.
