Sentences with phrase «into liquid hydrocarbon fuels»

The team at Air Fuel Synthesis (AFS) has created a system for using renewable energy to power the capture of CO2 and water, which is then transformed into liquid hydrocarbon fuels that can be used directly in gasoline engines.

«Proven one - step process to convert CO2 and water directly into liquid hydrocarbon fuel.»

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

Not exact matches

A team of University of Texas at Arlington chemists and engineers have proven that concentrated light, heat and high pressures can drive the one - step conversion of carbon dioxide and water directly into useable liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

When the Ariane space rocket lifts off, it is fuelled not just by hydrocarbons and liquid oxygen but by the brainpower that goes into numerous calculations, computer simulations, and test flights.

But chemical companies have also long had the technology to convert the primary hydrocarbons in natural gas — methane, ethane, and propane — into alcohols, the liquid starting materials for plastics, fuels, and other commodities made by the train load.

Nor does it apparently intend to directly, materially * reduce * the CO2 in the atmosphere (i.e. the reason for «creating» liquid hydrocarbon fuels would primarily be for transportation, so burning them would re-release the CO2, uncaptured, back into the atmosphere).

Their findings, described in a paper published in the journal Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, showed that changing the currently existing catalysts used in the conversion could turn carbon dioxide into liquid hydrocarbon - based fuel in one single step.

For example, direct air capture might prove especially well - suited to recycle carbon dioxide back into the ordinary, familiar liquid hydrocarbon fuels that power today's trucks, planes, and even cars.
