"NREL to Help Convert Methane to Liquid Diesel - Advanced Research Project Could Lead to ...
2013-01-03 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
NREL will help develop microbes that convert methane found in natural gas into liquid diesel fuel, which could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower dependence on foreign oil. Every molecule of methane vented to atmosphere has global-warming capacity of 12 molecules of carbon dioxide. Consortium of scientists says that if wasted gas can be turned into liquid, it can be piped to refineries where it can be turned into diesel suitable for trucks and cars, or even jet fuel for use ...This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:
