Sentences with phrase «synthesize hydrocarbon fuels»

Once hydrogen production is converted to a non-fossil source (probably electrolytic or thermochemical splitting of water, powered by nuclear energy) and all industrial hydrogen (for things like the Haber Process) sourced thus, it would probably be better to synthesize hydrocarbon fuels (either methanol, or Fischer - Tropsch petrol or diesel) than attempt to use hydrogen directly.

Not exact matches

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.

Keasling's method feeds agricultural waste such as cornstalks and wheat straw to E. coli bacteria engineered to break down the sugars and produce biologically synthesized hydrocarbons that burn and function just like those in fossil fuels.

This reaction is the enzymatic version of a second significant chemical process — Fischer - Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons which can be used on a large scale to synthesize fuels from industrial waste gases, for instance.

Thus, in addition to the so - called «Haber - Bosch process of nitrogen fixation,» nitrogenase also stimulates a reaction corresponding to the «Fischer - Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons,» which can be used on a large scale to synthesize fuels, for instance from industrial waste gases..

One commonly proposed solution to this dilemma is to use the H2 generated via the WSR, reaction 1, in combination with CO2 to synthesize liquid hydrocarbon fuels, using the reverse water — gas shift (RWGS), reaction 2, and Fischer — Tropsch synthesis (FTS), reaction 3.
