Further, this technology promises much cleaner, less sulfurous gasoline. Current gasoline is filled with all sorts of impurities, and needs to be significantly distilled to get the long-chain organic compounds that are needed for efficiency; This tech seems to create long-chain compounds from the base materials of carbon and hydrogen, meaning less impurities and less distillation.
- dredmorbius 12y agoThat's the theory. It's possible that in processing the volumes of seawater necessary to provide carbon to this process you'd introduce other impurities. But with a well-regulated process, it does seem to offer the option of a cleaner gasoline / diesel than we've got now.
