Company Profile:
Alcohol containing one carbon atom per molecule, generally made from natural gas, with about half the energy density of gasoline, also known as ‘wood alcohol’
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Products of combustion that contribute to the formation of smog and ozone.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
German inventor famed for fashioning the diesel engine, which made its debut at the 1900 World's Fair. He initially intended for his machine to run on vegetable-derived fuels, with the hope that farmers would be able to grow their own fuel sources.
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
Agricultural crops grown specifically for their energy value.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
The ability of a liquid to flow. The higher the viscosity, the slower the liquid flows.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Alcohol containing four carbon atoms per molecule, produced from the same feedstocks as ethanol, but with a modified fermentation and distillation process. Less water-soluble than ethanol, biobutanol has a higher energy density and can be transported by pipeline more easily
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Measure of diesel’s combustion quality
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Energy-rich material contained in biomass that can be used for boiler fuel
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Razlika između fosilne energije potrebne za proizvodnju goriva i energije koju gorivo sadrži.
