As a result, there is a critical need to create new pathways for biofuel conversion that reduces carbon waste, prevents the loss of CO 2 emissions, and in turn, maximizes the amount of renewable fuel a conversion process yields.

When Straubel—also known for his 1984 Porsche 944 EV conversion—left Tesla, he founded Redwood Materials , a leading lithium battery recycling company in Carson City, Nevada. That was quite a conversion.” Wright also developed the Wrightspeed X1 , an EV sports car known for beating gasoline-powered sports cars in a drag race.

These juvenile traits may reduce the recalcitrance of biomass to conversion into fermentable sugars. Studies have consistently shown that biofuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass could be produced in the United States in a sustainable fashion and could replace today’s gasoline, diesel and jet fuels on a gallon-for-gallon basis.

A small gasoline engine provides power for the vehicle over longer distances, much like the Toyota Prius. First customers for the conversions of several dozen SUVs would be cities, utilities, CEOs, entrepreneurs and celebrities. Plug-in hybrids can be charged from an outlet and have greater range in all-electric mode.

Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. The comparison keeps being raised, though studies are conclusive: The "well-to-wheel" emissions of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles.

Biofuel projects are going to have trouble getting financing from Wall Street this year because all of them have questions about the long term pricing of petroleum; most of them have concerns about the pricing stability of their feedstocks; and many of the cellulosic projects have concerns about the conversion technologies.

and UC-Davis Emeritus and Catherine JJ DeMauro. Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure.

While chemically converting natural gas to liquid fuels (GTL) is a proven technology that increases volumetric energy density, the current conversion approach through Fischer-Tropsch (FT-GTL) is challenged by both high capital costs and low conversion efficiencies. process intensification approaches for biological methane conversion.

Ford’s turbocharged, gasoline direct injection EcoBoost engines are targeted to play a significant near-term role in Ford’s efforts to reduce fuel consumption by enabling downsizing. The cold-start period constitutes the majority of engine emissions due to zero or low conversion efficiency of the aftertreatment system. Source: Ford.
