Illustration of non-catalytic biodiesel conversion Credit: ACS, Kwon et al. conversion efficiency to FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) within 1 minute in a temperature range of 350–500 °C. Hence, in order to reduce the cost of biodiesel production, using cheaper feedstocks such as waste oil or low-quality oil has been proposed.

Scientists in China have developed a process for converting cellulose from plant waste from agriculture and timber harvesting into high-density aviation fuel: a polycycloalkane mixture. Tuning the reaction conditions also permits the selective production of methyl cyclopentane, which can be used as high-octane-number gasoline additive.

In particular, one of the projects will explore the idea of using cheap and widely available magnesium oxide-based mineral silicates to trap carbon dioxide from industry flue gases via a process known as dry mineral carbonation. The by-products of this can be used as construction or landfill materials.

Our research proved that poplar coppice can be a good option to meet the cheap, high-volume criteria of biofuel feedstock. Additionally, other tree parts go to waste when only the trunk is used, making the process more inefficient and wasteful. Chang Dou, Devin S. Chandler, Fernando L. Chang Dou, Wilian F.

In this manner, full performance and even ultra-performance renewable fuels can be synthesized from low-value and abundant waste materials. In addition, the use of “crude” turpentine was investigated to evaluate the ability of these catalysts to produce terpene dimers in high yield while using cheap, unpurified feedstocks.

The discovery also improves on current recycling methods that result in cheap, low-quality plastic products. But there will always be instances where plastics are difficult to replace, so we really want to see what we can do to find value in the waste. Too, the catalytic method produced far less waste in the process.

And oil only seems cheap. We’ve already decided we’re going to fix already-built houses, offices and factories that waste energy. Cash for Conversions” will start by fixing many of our 100 million trucks, vans, and buses. When they’re mass-produced, conversions will cost under $10-$15,000. .

Public transportation can waste time unless you live in a city with a great system, and even then it can be a messy, overpacked ordeal. This item is sure to start up a conversation. It isn’t cheap, but it could be a much better way to get to work than the metro and it’s way cheaper than using Uber over the course of the year.

Every scrap of waste food, garden trimmings and even sewage would be used to ferment gas. E.ON’s Mr. Ewert says one winning technology could be biogas, which can be fermented from farm and domestic waste or even sewage, and then be piped through existing gas networks.

Reply ↓ ↑ report 6 CaramelZappa 3:20AM (4/23/2009) Yea, you COULD convert a lotus for $10k but the conversion wouldnt be terribly satisfying. link] This guy has a very nice looking conversion, he managed to do it for about 25k. I also think it will be cheap, which is why I think someone will buy the group. Its a Lotus.

The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy.

Millions will plug-in their electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCV) at night when electricity is cheap, then plug-in during the day when energy is expensive and sell those extra electrons at a profit. In the future, utilities will pay you to plug-in your vehicle. Carlos 12:43 AM walt the memecaster said.
