The scientists chose to target propane because it can easily escape the cell as a gas, yet requires little energy to transform from its natural gaseous state into a liquid that is easy to transport, store and use. Although we have only produced tiny amounts so far, the fuel we have produced is ready to be used in an engine straight away.
