Researchers at the University of Witwatersrand and the University of South Africa are proposing replacing the final purification steps of conventional bio-ethanol production with a simple gasoline-blending step. The nature of the fermentation process dictates that fermentation products are dilute, comprised primarily of water.

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio (USTA) are collaborating to combine two catalytic processes into a single reactor, with the overall goal of recycling carbon from COCO 2 2 to produce low-cost hydrocarbon fuels. We’re facing a lack of renewable fuels and the technology to deliver cleaner power generation.
