In a paper being presented at WCX SAE World Congress Experience in Detroit this week, a team from MIT is proposing the use of a flex-fuel gasoline-alcohol engine approach for a series-hybrid powertrain for long-haul Class 8 trucks. Ethanol or methanol would be employed to increase knock resistance. —Daniel Cohn.

Algae have the potential to produce large volumes of fuel per unit area of production on marginal lands using saline water unsuitable for food crops. Thus, algal biofuels could expand transportation energy supplies, without significantly displacing land and water resources that would otherwise have been used for food production.

Conversion kits also will be available to switch medium-duty gasoline vehicles to run on propane. LPI is a direct replacement of the OEM gasoline injection system. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), also known as propane or autogas, can be used to replace gasoline and diesel. million grant to support the project’s development.

Water will be the primary byproduct. This process will repurpose carbon dioxide for use as a liquid fuel that can be readily used as a high octane gasoline substitute. The team anticipates at least a twofold productivity improvement over current levels and a cost that can be competitive with gasoline. per gallon. 3,977,349.
