Theoretically, cars operating on higher ethanol blends than the design point could emit greater concentrations of pollutants in exhaust gas. In the cylinder where combustion takes place, the fuel evaporates before it is burned, and this evaporation helps cool off the air/fuel mixture and exhaust gas.

When a fuel gas containing hydrogen is passed over the fuel electrode (the anode), the oxygen ions migrate through the crystal lattice to oxidize the fuel. Founded in 2001, Bloom Energy can trace its roots to the NASA Mars space program. Electrons generated at the anode move out through an external circuit, creating electricity.

Hydrogen for reverse water gas shift reaction to avoid producing CO 2 during the process is produced by electrolyzing water, driven by solar power. Hot syngas from the gasifier is cooled and cleaned, then compressed to the reformer (methane reforming) and the reverse water gas shift (Re-WGS) reactor.

Biomass is mixed with hot sand (1,800 ºF), turning it into product gas and residual char. A small amount of steam and the rapid release product gas provides the conveying force for the reaction. Residual char and cooled sand (1,500 ºF) are separated from the product gas by a cyclone separator and discharged to the combustor.
