Selective hydrogenation is the key to producing valuable chemicals, for example, turning triple - bonded hydrocarbons called alkynes selectively into double - bonded alkenes — starting materials for the synthesis of plastics, fuels and other commercial products.

And there is no reason to think that the R. eutropha could not be made to generate other products — perhaps complex hydrocarbon molecules like those found in fossil fuels or even the whole range of chemicals currently synthesized from polluting resources, such as fertilizers.

«We're making hydrocarbons that look just like the hydrocarbons from fossil fuels,» such as heptane, isooctane and others, Cortright says.

That's because the core of making jet biofuel is much the same as the core of making conventional fuel: hydroprocessing, or the adding of hydrogen to existing hydrocarbons in order to remove oxygen and other impurities as well as build the right molecule.

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.

Glover and other executives said they think the approval process will be smooth because after processing plant oils, «We leave a hydrocarbon that looks exactly like petroleum fuel,» said Jennifer Holmgren, the general manager of renewable energy and chemicals at UOP, the company that derived the plant - oil refining and processing treatment for the Air New Zealand, Continental and Japan Airlines test flights.

The study adds to earlier evidence that mothers» exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are emitted by the burning of fossil fuels and other organic materials, are linked to children's behavioral problems associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

In the longer term, other clean hydrocarbon fuels are also likely to be important for cutting emissions from aircraft, shipping and long - distance freight vehicles that are more difficult to electrify.

Schwietzke said it's also important to account for the emissions from all the fossil fuels that are produced in a given shale gas field because many wells produce oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons.

The hydrocarbons evaporate from the fuel and oxygen acts as an oxidation catalyst changing the remaining components into other compounds leaving varnish in their wake.

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.

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.

One prime goal of Venter, a genomics pioneer and entrepreneur (partnering with Exxon Mobil, among others), is to program organisms that, at large scale, could harvest carbon dioxide and generate hydrocarbons, replacing oil as a fuel and feedstock.

The financial think - tank says the fate of US coal should serve as a warning to investors in other fossil fuel markets worldwide who fail to prudently read a structural shift away from hydrocarbons and blindly continue to invest in assets that are in increasingly in danger of becoming stranded.

front - end engineering and design for facilities that produce liquid fuels from hydrocarbons and other biological matter.

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.

To date, renewable hydrocarbon - based fuel substitutes have required the complex, multi-step conversion of algal or other agricultural biomass feedstocks into fuel pre-cursors, and subsequent chemical upgrading.

Natural Gas — A gaseous fossil fuel that occurs naturally underground and consists of methane and other hydrocarbons.

We can without much effort or reprogramming provide an environment where natural competition is stifled (think of GM plants not effected by Round Up) and through reprogramming shift the metabolic goal to production of hydrocarbon fuels which is anti-survival in other circumstances.

Rather than licensing its hydrocarbon - producing yeast to another company, Amyris plans to purchase sugar mills and convert them in order to use its microbes to produce fuels and other chemicals.

One of the hard parts about fighting CO2 emissions, vs. all the other emissions we have tackled in the past (NOx, SOx, soot / particulates, unburned hydrocarbons, etc), is that we simply don't know how to combust fossil fuels without creating CO2 — CO2 is inherent to the base chemical reaction of the combustion.

All other fossil - fuel emissions represent unburned hydrocarbons, the technology for capturing which has improved by leaps and bounds in the past few decades.
