Sentences with phrase «way hydrocarbon fuels»

This energy can be converted when necessary into heat and electricity by burning the hydrogen, in the same way hydrocarbon fuels are used.

Not exact matches

«And these hydrocarbons can be converted into fuels — gasoline, kerosene and diesel, for example, the same way that one converts petroleum into these fuels.»

Various efforts are underway to find a cheap, efficient and scalable way to recycle the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide back into the hydrocarbons that fuel civilization

Colorado led the way in 1988 when Denver became the first city to introduce the additives on the basis of research claiming that they helped the fuel's hydrocarbons to burn more efficiently at low temperatures, thereby producing more carbon dioxide than CO and also reducing emissions of the polluting hydrocarbons themselves.

Their ultimate goal is to find ways to use solar energy — either directly or via electricity generated by solar cells — to convert the end products of hydrocarbon combustion, water and carbon dioxide, back into a carbon - based fuel.

RICHLAND, Wash. — Researchers at Washington State University Tri-Cities have figured out a way to successfully convert a common wood byproduct into hydrocarbon molecules that could be used as jet fuel.

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.

Making Hydrogen in these ways, and using it to run an automobile has to be less efficient than the direct use of hydrocarbon fuels and electricity to run a car, and can't reduce the total amount of CO2 emissions.

Hydrogen can be made in 2 ways that I know of — from hydrocarbon fuels, and using electricity to perform the electrolysis of water.

Creating Fuel From The Sun The group has found a way to generate hydrocarbons 20 times faster than previous attempts.

The reserves are taken from the World Energy Council 2004 report, except for China, where we used the reserves from the Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources by way of Sandro Schmidt, and South Africa, which has been reassessed recently Figure 9 shows the cumulative plots for future - fuel production using the trends we have developed for hydrocarbons and coal, and with lms fits for the 10 % and 90 % years.

But let's don't overlook the key point that the emissions to atmosphere come from burning hydrocarbons (and we should be happy if only CO2 gets out when we burn them), so we need to discourage burning the fuels and the obvious way to do that is raise taxes on hydrocarbon fuel (at the retail level please — be honest, don't try to bury it at the wholesale level so consumers think the oil producers are gouging them).

The fuel reformer, usually through a process called steam reformation (a process that creates carbon emissions) isolates the pure hydrogen from a hydrocarbon fuel (methane, ethanol, propane, natural gas, etc.) This hydrogen, although pure, is sometimes referred to as dirty hydrogen due to the way it is created.
