Sentences with phrase «renewable hydrocarbon fuels»

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.

«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.

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.

Joule, the developer of a direct, single - step, continuous process for the production of solar hydrocarbon fuels (earlier post), has extended its solar CO2 conversion platform to produce renewable gasoline - and jet fuel - range hydrocarbons.

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.

The study will enable first - time biochemical synthesis of an aromatic fuel hydrocarbon from renewable resources rather than from petroleum.

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.

Renewables are NON-sustainable, stochastically intermittent and erratic and at least 100,000,000 times worse in releasable energy content than any demandable secure hydrocarbon fuels.

An economy fueled by domestic renewable energy is certainly more sound than one built around polluting hydrocarbons lying in distant and sometimes hostile lands.

Clean, renewable, nearly cost - free hydrocarbon fuel made directly from sunlight and CO2 is just the tip of the iceberg — the low hanging fruit in this transformative technology.

Renewables can not even supply the annual growth in energy demand, let alone replace traditional hydrocarbon fuels.

UTA researchers demonstrate one - step solar process to convert CO2 and H2O directly into renewable liquid hydrocarbon fuels

Hydrocarbon fuels, used rationally and new renewable energy resources will play a part as they have to, in the adoption and implementation of a valid and praiseworthy plan.

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.

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.

GT is also developing a plant that aims to take carbon from air and mix it with hydrogen separated from water to produce hydrocarbon fuel in a process the scientists say would be both cost - efficient and renewable.
