Researchers at Feng Chia University in Taiwan have engineered the bacterium Escherichia coli to produce n-butanol from crude glycerol—a byproduct of the production of biodiesel. It can be transported by the existing infrastructure and readily used in gasoline blends. g/L n-butanol from 20 g/L crude glycerol.

Guzzella estimates the cost increment for the air hybrid over a conventional gasoline engine is approximately 20%, while the incremental costs for an electric hybrid are at least 200%, according to his calculations. With the cost advantage, Guzzella suggests that the air hybrid also would be suitable for use in poorer countries. Dönitz et al.
