Conversion kits also will be available to switch medium-duty gasoline vehicles to run on propane. Researchers at MIT had earlier demonstrated the ability to make biopropane (LPG from corn or sugarcane) using a supercritical water process, and created a startup (C3 BioEnergy) in 2007 that attempted to commercialize the technology.

As a result, there is a critical need to create new pathways for biofuel conversion that reduces carbon waste, prevents the loss of CO 2 emissions, and in turn, maximizes the amount of renewable fuel a conversion process yields. The awardees are: LanzaTech, Inc. Carbon-Negative Chemical Production Platform - $4,160,262.57.
