Sentences with phrase «liquid fuel ethanol»

Not exact matches

Unlike other solid - to - liquid - fuel processes such as cornstarch into ethanol, this one will accept almost any carbon - based feedstock.

«We can do this while simultaneously producing from the biomass lignin - free cellulose, which is the basis of ethanol and other liquid fuels.

That's because fermenting corn into ethanol delivers less liquid fuel energy for internal combustion engines than does burning the kernels to generate power for electric motors.

These findings have significance for human health but also for biofuels production, since the same sugars can be fed to yeast to generate ethanol and other liquid fuels.

Moving forward, the team will continue to work on their device to scale up the production of ethylene as well as employ similar systems to produce liquid fuels such as ethanol and propanol.

Re # 153, A recent report tells us that Ethanol from corn / sugar cane is good but not good enough, however Ethanol from biomass is a very good idea and could provide > 20 % of the USA's liquid fuel.

«Closet carbon», as this paper has quoted me calling the carbon released in making «bio» fuels like corn ethanol or coal to liquids, would be taxed, too, no exceptions.

In fact, cumulative new ethanol production since 2005 has accounted for 62 % of new domestically - produced liquid fuels, while cumulative new U.S. crude oil production has accounted for 38 %.

Therefore 90 % of the liquid fuels used to produce the ethanol is from fossil fuels.

The study also found that both BTL - RC - CCS (biomass - to - liquids, with recycling of unconverted syngas to maximize FTL output and CCS) and cellulosic ethanol with CCS (EtOH - CCS) have negative GHGI emission values that can be exploited to offset GHG missions from difficult to decarbonize energy sources such as transportation fuels derived from crude oil.

One exception has been some use of liquid natural gas (LNG) and other fuels for fleets of buses or delivery vehicles, although not substantially for privately - owned ones, and the use of corn - derived ethanol mixed with gasoline in proportions up to 10 per cent ethanol («gasohol») in some states.

Biofuel is bioenergy converted into a liquid fuel such as ethanol or biodiesel, but biomass can also be converted into gaseous fuels via biological or chemical processes such as digestion and gasification.

Alternative liquid fuels include ethanol, biodiesel and methanol, and synthetic gasoline and diesel made from natural gas, coal, or other feedstocks.

If Oregon, and the Northwest, truly wants a domestic - as in local - and renewable fuel source, we should be looking to build a cellulosic ethanol industry using waste from the large Northwest forestry and agriculture sectors to produce our liquid fuels (and a bit of electricity) as well as additional electricity from the Northwest's diverse and abundant renewable energy sources to power the electric component of a plug - in hybrid flex fuel fleet.

Ethanol plus all the other alternative liquid fuels represent our experiments with how we will deal with the enduring problem of depleting finite and non-renewable fossil fuels.

Ethanol is just one of those liquid fuels that appears like a carbon - neutral substitute for crude oil, but it doesn't really fit the bill.

As a cheap, onboard source of hydrogen, a liquid fuel such as ethanol - water is safe.

This is how we can produce massive quantities of domestic biofuel and solve our liquid fuel demand: We could remove the starch from ALL of our feed corn (instead of just part of it) to make more ethanol.

Biofuels are liquid fuels — most often ethanol or biodiesel — that are made from plant - or animal - based sources called «biomass.»

The original claim was «Ethanol producers are close to supplying 10 % of the US liquid fuel requirments.»
