Fuel Alternative

WUSTL researchers demonstrate solar-panel-powered microbial electrosynthesis to produce n-butanol from light, CO2 and power

The resulting biofuel, n -butanol, is a carbon-neutral fuel alternative that can be used in blends with diesel or gasoline. Here we have harnessed the power of microbes to convert carbon dioxide into value-added multi-carbon compounds in a usable biofuel. —Wei Bai. Ranaivoarisoa, T.O.,

MIT study concludes that absent climate policy, coal-to-liquids could account for around a third of global liquid fuels by 2050

Converting coal into liquid fuels is known to be more costly than current energy technologies, both in terms of production costs and the amount of greenhouse gases the process emits. CTL conversion may only be viable in countries with less stringent climate policies or where low-carbon fuel alternatives are not available.
