We are going for the whole gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel market. The 100% efficient energy content of gasoline is approx. 34 kWh/ gallon. At 60% efficiency in converting renewable electricity to chemical energy, that would be approx. 57 kWh/gal.

- jacobush 7y agoPlease think twice about diesel - NOX is a killer. On the other hand, I expect particle emissions to be much lower with your fuel.
- rmcginnis 7y agoMuch lower particle emissions is what we expect. Also no benzene, sulfur, or aromatics. Despite diesel's drawbacks, I'd rather offer zero carbon diesel as long as people are still using it.
- jacobush 7y agoYou are certainly aware of this, but synthetic fuel is perfect for military applications and for backup generators and such, because there is no biofouling or degradation. Also wasn't the USAF testing bio jet fuel? Your product is superior on all technical points and just as good if not better on the environment.
