Sentences with phrase «of liquid hydrocarbon fuels»

Researchers at Nanjing Tech University in China have developed a new pathway for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels from lignocellulose.

Not exact matches

Gasoline is a petroleum - derived liquid mixture consisting primarily of hydrocarbons, used as fuel in internal combustion engines.

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.

Oxidation of hydrocarbon to CO2 releases about 478 kJ / mol C. That's the minimum amount you need to reduce CO2 to liquid fuel assuming perfect conversion.

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.

Plenty of coal to run high tech civilization at least another hundred years even with substantial economic growth by burning it in conventional coal - fired electric plants and making liquid hydrocarbon automotive fuels from it.

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.

So, if you could create liquid hydrocarbons that are compatible with gasoline cars, then the adoption cycle would be a lot easier than switching over to electric or hydrogen or some other type of fuel for cars.

Apparently there are a lot of people who seem to like that hippy commune style of living, and feel free, don't let me stop you, but I want the Jetson's, I want humans to become a spacefaring race, we need to mine the asteroid belt, and someday travel to the stars, but in the mean while there are oceans of liquid hydrocarbons (though not very practical as a home heating fuel, I realize) and boulders of platinum group metals out there to go get.

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.

The production of liquid fuels from coal will very likely become an important part of the hydrocarbon energy mix of the future, provided that technical and environmental obstacles are overcome economically.

Peter, the amount of carbon one requires to replace liquid hydrocarbon fuels is huge, the levels of DIC are low and so one would require staggering amounts of sea water and would discharge staggering amounts of carbon denuded sea water.

Publication date: 2009-06-01 First Published: Natural Resources Research Authors: R.C. Milici Abstract: The production of liquid fuels from coal will very likely become an important part of the hydrocarbon energy mix of the future, provided that technical and environmental obstacles are overcome economically.

A Berkeley Lab - led team is working to re-engineer an enzyme for the efficient conversion of methane to liquid hydrocarbon transportation fuels.

Adding insult to injury electricity, even were it free to produce at centralized generation facilities, can not practically replace liquid hydrocarbon fuels for lack of distribution capacity to local consumption and lack of storage capacity for transportation.

To get liquid fuel from gas, CO2 needs to be broken up so as to extract the carbon atoms in order to make new hydrocarbons (the building blocks of fuel).

Some of those, such as octane, are drop - in replacements for existing liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

Of course, to me the ideal answer is direct solar power → Fuel, such as methane (to replace natural gas) or liquid hydrocarbons (to replace fossil).
