Global Bioenergies has successfully converted renewable resources first into gaseous isobutene via fermentation, which was then subsequently catalytically oligomerized into a mix of fuel-range liquid hydrocarbons, including iso-octane. Gaseous isobutene is one of the main building blocks of the petrochemical industry. Earlier post.).

students a simple question: “What is the most efficient and practical way possible to convert chemical-bond energy into useful work?” Now we had to build a version that could generate electricity and run for years at a reasonable cost. Here, the LEM converts the translator’s kinetic energy into electricity.
