While compressed natural gas (CNG) will play a role, particularly for high-mileage fleets, the report suggests that the chemical conversion of gas into some form of liquid fuel may be the best pathway to significant market penetration. emissions are reduced by around 25% relative to the use of gasoline for the same engine efficiency.

Finding ways of recovering this lost heat energy has been one of the major goals being pursued by engineers working on BMW EfficientDynamics for the future. The gas turbine process is the first phase of the energy conversion and serves as the source of heat for the downstream steam cycle in the second phase. —Jürgen Ringler.
