Examples from the patent document of pathways for the production of medium chain-length alkanes.
Modular has shown that a particular bacterium converts soybean hulls into a surfactant that can potentially be used to replace the toxic chemical dispersants that were used previous in the Gulf. However, rather than converting sugar into beer, Modular’s bacterium converts soybean hulls into a bio-dispersant.
These efforts include fuel testing and validation, lifecycle analysis and support for Joule’s production facility in Hobbs, New Mexico, where demonstration-scale production of ethanol is underway. Joule and Audi formed a partnership in 2011 to accelerate the development and commercialization of CO 2 -neutral fuels.

The crankshaft-driven oil pump matches the oil supply to the engine load, changing its capacity based on the engine’s demand for oil—eliminating energy wasted to pump oil that is not required for proper engine operation. GM’s engine facility in Toluca, Mexico will also build the 1.4L, as well as the Ecotec 1.5L. The Ecotec 1.4L
70% of the energy from burning fossil fuel is wasted as heat, while only 30% goes to turn your wheels. So after we use all that electricity pumping oil out of the ground, refining it, transporting it, we then waste 70% when we burn it. These cars and trucks have internal combustion engines that are extremely inefficient.
To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. The electrical system has perhaps 85% excess capacity most of the year which means we are wasting money in excess electric generation and distribution infrastructure and resources.
