The resulting biofuel, n -butanol, is a carbon-neutral fuelalternative that can be used in blends with diesel or gasoline. —Arpita Bose, associate professor of biology in Arts & Sciences, and leader of the study. The results are reported in an open-access paper in the journal Communications Biology.
However, in order to achieve a step change in production capacity, alternative approaches such as via thermal routes (termed “Bio-SNG”) are necessary. Bio-SNG Feasibility Study. Whilst technically feasible, this approach is less mature than anaerobic digestion. Cost of carbon abated.
Associate Professor Akshat Tanksale from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Monash University and co-corresponding author, says OME (oxymethylene ethers) are among a number of fuelalternatives that are attracting increasing attention for their net-zero carbon emitting properties.
While fossil fuels will be used for as long as they can be easily and economically produced, it should also be clear that their amounts are finite and that they are increasingly depleted. For those, CO 2 capture at the emission source is not practical and/or economical. —Goeppert et al.
(The comparison to the electric vehicle is based on estimates which factor in the CO 2 emissions resulting from fuel production, with the DME-powered vehicle figure calculated from the use of renewable energy to generate the DME fuel, and the electric vehicle figure calculated from electricity generated from renewable resources.
A study published by the National Grid in the UK is suggesting that Bio-SNG (Synthetic Natural Gas) could achieve carbon dioxide (CO2) savings of up to 90 per cent compared with fossil fuelalternatives.
