Sentences with phrase «hydrocarbon fuel source»

In short, carbon recycling takes carbon dioxide emissions and transforms them into a liquid hydrocarbon fuel source.

Not exact matches

The driving sources of energy are changing as we move from a hydrocarbon fuel focus toward renewables.

But I could imagine a day when the entire energy mix is fueled by renewable energy sources, and then all of the hydrocarbon products — consumable plastics, the fuels that you need for long - term energy storage and heating your home in the winter — all of that could be derived from CO2 conversion.

If we're successful and others are successful in producing alternative sources of hydrocarbons for fuels, eventually we could be shifting the supply and shifting the demand for oil.

This relates to the whole area of development for people talking about biofuels, which is this idea of trying to develop replacements for the conventional sorts of fossil fuels that we have to at least — if we are going to be burning some sort of hydrocarbons of some kind — to try to get them [so] that they are being derived from a different source, and potentially or ideally, ones that would actually burn without delivering as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere too; that's great if you can get that.

«And these liquid hydrocarbons made by the alga are currently found in petroleum deposits, so we are already using them as a source to generate fuel.

«Essentially, if we were to use the hydrocarbon oils from this alga to be a renewable fuel source, there would be no need to change any kind of infrastructure for making the fuel.

Despite the explosive growth of renewable sources of electricity, making hydrocarbon building blocks and high energy density fuel sources in a renewable fashion is a major challenge.

So, apparently, if I understand this correctly, the idea is really about a way that actually requires an independent source of energy (and a big one) in order to make liquid fuels and other hydrocarbon - based products in a relatively «carbon - neutral» way.

Just been looking up the sources for commercial CO2 and here is a short exerpt from google: «The most common operations from which commercially - produced carbon dioxide is recovered are industrial plants which produce hydrogen or ammonia from natural gas, coal, or other hydrocarbon feedstock, and large - volume fermentation operations in which plant products are made into ethanol for human consumption, automotive fuel or industrial use.

• Creating liquid hydrocarbon fuels from this source (along with LNG) would eliminate the need for expensive power storage for vehicles.

When used as a source of energy to manufacture hydrocarbons such as methane and liquid fuels, as you point out solar panels can only do this in the daytime.

Once hydrogen production is converted to a non-fossil source (probably electrolytic or thermochemical splitting of water, powered by nuclear energy) and all industrial hydrogen (for things like the Haber Process) sourced thus, it would probably be better to synthesize hydrocarbon fuels (either methanol, or Fischer - Tropsch petrol or diesel) than attempt to use hydrogen directly.

That perception encourages us all to pay more than the fuel should cost and puts enormous quantities of dollars into the pockets of people who have no skills, talents or resources other than their influence over sources of hydrocarbons.

I don't believe we'll burn enough fossil fuel to cause catastrophic warming before alternative energy sources make the Holy Hydrocarbon Bond more valuable as structure than for its inherent energy.

[28] This represents a potentially important future source of hydrocarbon fuel.

Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: biological, thermochemical, or thermocatalytic routes for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to advanced biofuels beyond cellulosic ethanol; microbial fuel cells for direct production of electricity from renewable carbon sources; hydrogen production from autotrophic or heterotrophic microorganisms; hydrocarbons and lipids from phototrophic or heterotrophic microorganisms.

The least disruptive technology would replace oil - derived hydrocarbons with liquid hydrocarbon fuels derived from CO2, water, and a clean energy source, such as the sun, leading to a carbon - neutral fuel cycle.

Published on April 30, 2018 Natural gas, called «the prince of hydrocarbons» by some, is an increasingly important fuel source in the world energy system.
