Researchers propose using AC and ventilation systems for decentralized production of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels

Green Car Congress

Via electro-, photo- or thermocatalytic processes, synthesis gas is generated which is further converted to hydrocarbon fuels by miniaturized chemical processes such as the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis plus integrated upgrading processes (e.g. The synthesized hydrocarbon fuels can be stored and/or transported for further utilization.

China researchers hydrotreat waste engine oil and scrap tire oil blend to produce diesel- and jet-range fuel

Green Car Congress

Using WEO as the reaction medium not only made the recovery of the UPO easier but also converted WEO into a major component of the UPO. With the vigorous rise of the transportation industry, scrap tires (STs), which were once called “black pollution”, have become a critical threat to the human environment. —Liu et al.

EIA: China’s use of methanol in liquid fuels has grown rapidly since 2000; >500K bpd in 2016

Green Car Congress

The sectoral analysis of energy use suggested that previous data for liquid fuel use in China’s transportation sector were underestimated. Methanol can also be converted directly to gasoline, and in China this conversion occurs much less often than the blending of methanol or its derivatives into gasoline.
