WUSTL researchers demonstrate solar-panel-powered microbial electrosynthesis to produce n-butanol from light, CO2 and power

Green Car Congress

A team of biologists and engineers modified Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 (TIE-1) so that it can produce a biofuel using only three renewable and naturally abundant source ingredients: carbon dioxide, solar panel-generated electricity and light. We hope that it can be a steppingstone for future sustainable solar fuel production.

List of The Best 10 Alternative Fuels for Cars that Could Replace Gasoline

Get Electric Vehicle

The fossil fuels are highly significant in the global economy. The worlds’ energy requirements are mostly meet by these petroleum fuels. Do we have enough fuels for the future use? Unrestrained consumption of these fuels leads to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. Is electricity fuel?

IEA roadmap concludes biofuels can provide up to 27% of world transportation fuel by 2050

Green Car Congress

With the transportation sector growing considerably, and demand for transport fuels rising globally, the IEA assessed liquid and gaseous fuels derived from biomass as one of the key technologies to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce dependency on liquid transport fuels. This projected use of biofuels could avoid around 2.1
