Project Volt Gas Volt is based on a long-term financing plan and the use of existing technologies for the large-scale conversion of surplus renewable electricity to methane, with subsequent reuse. Stored methane could become the “battery” for renewable energy, simultaneously making hydraulic fracturing obsolete, they proposed.

A University of Maine chemical engineer and his research team have developed a new process—thermal deoxygenation (TDO)—to transform biomass, including forest residues, municipal solid waste, grasses, and construction wastes, into a hydrocarbon fuel oil. This produces a reaction resulting in a dark amber-colored oil.
