Dr. Keith estimates the process should be able to
generate synthetic fuel for about $ 1 a litre.

Working in his lab in UD's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Rosenthal and doctoral student John DiMeglio have developed an inexpensive catalyst that uses the electricity
generated from solar energy to convert carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, into
synthetic fuels for powering cars, homes and businesses.
A detailed study by researchers from China and the US has concluded that Fischer - Tropsch
synthetic liquid
fuels (FTL) are typically less costly to produce when electricity is
generated as a major coproduct than when the plants are designed to produce mainly liquid
fuels.
This would entail using concentrating solar power
generated from Australia's Outback to create
synthetic energy
fuels shipped to North Asia by tanker or pipeline.
The most water - efficient energy sources are natural gas (though we may be just about out of it) and
synthetic fuels produced by coal gasification; the least efficient are ethanol and biodiesel — the biofuels just can't catch a break these days, can they?Water use winners and losers The research pair analyzed 11 types of energy sources, including coal,
fuel ethanol, natural gas, and oil; and five power
generating methods, including hydroelectric, fossil
fuel thermoelectric, and nuclear methods; in terms of power generation, Younos and Hill have found that geothermal and hydroelectric energy types use the least amount of water, while nuclear plants use the most.
Australia's Linc Energy, a developer of underground coal gasification and
synthetic fuels projects, has signed an exclusive agreement with PowerHouse Energy Inc, a provider of onsite energy systems that uses fossil and renewable
fuels to
generate electricity and
synthetic gas via the Pyromex ultra high temperature above - ground gasification (UHTG) process....
