Concept of the subsea oil recovery system. This will mark the first time such a system will be used at this water depth (5,000 feet / 1,524 m). This will mark the first time such a system will be used at this water depth (5,000 feet / 1,524 m). The FPSO will process the captured hydrocarbons and separate oil from water and gas.

We developed an approach to design such landscapes at a field scale to minimize concerns of land use change, water quality, and greenhouse gas emissions associated with production of food and bioenergy. If not retained by soil or taken up by plants, nitrogen escapes into air or water. —Herbert Ssegane.

Researchers from Japan and Mexico have developed a one-step hydrotreatment process over catalysts containing Ni-Mo and solid acids for the conversion of vegetable oils (Jatropha, palm and canola) to renewable diesel and LPG fuels. However, it needs further research to investigate how to achieve the concept satisfactorily.

We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. Here’s our rough draft, which we’re releasing as we refine the concept—we moved up our plans when we learned about the Tuesday address. Using existing technology, we can convert many of them into plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles.
