Though generally produced from fossil fuels, this four-carbon alcohol can also be produced through bacterial fermentation of alcohol.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Biofuel (technically, methyl esters) produced from oilseed crops – including soy, canola, palm, and jatropha – that can be used in diesel engines
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Biological material – including corn, switchgrass, and oilseed crops – that can be converted into fuel
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
The process of converting biomass to liquid fuels. Hmm, that seems painfully obvious when you write it out.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Though generally produced from fossil fuels, this four-carbon alcohol can also be produced through bacterial fermentation of alcohol.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
A product of combustion that acts as a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere, trapping heat and contributing to climate change.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
A lethal gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels in internal combustion engines. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. (As in flavorless, we mean, though it's also been known to tell a bad joke or two.)
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Named for the German engineer Rudolph Diesel, this internal-combustion, compression-ignition engine works by heating fuels and causing them to ignite. It can use either petroleum or bio-derived fuel.
