Reaction Design introduces model fuel library resulting from work of Model Fuels Consortium

Green Car Congress

The MFC uses one or two molecules to represent each significant chemical class, and builds detailed chemistry models for each molecule. The MFC applied this concept of surrogate fuels to develop both fossil-based and bio-based fuel models. However, real fuels, with their hundreds of components, are too complex to simulate directly.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention.
