Gasoline

Researchers have demonstrated how effective plants are at ridding the air in your home, school, or workplace of toxic, potentially cancer-causing pollutants, providing a sustainable, low-cost way of ensuring that the air you breathe is cleaner.

Researchers have been able to take the cellulose in sawdust and convert it into hydrocarbon chains. These can be used as an additive in gasoline or as building blocks to create plastics, rubber, nylon, insulation foams and other materials normally made from ethylene, propylene and benzene.

CSIRO Australia and its industry partner, Ziltek, have released their self-contained, hand-held hydrocarbon contamination testing device to the US market. Billed as a world first, the RemScam is capable of testing many hundred samples a day, providing data on the spot, within seconds.

In a process they say produces more energy than it used, researchers from the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) at the University of Illinois have converted plastic bags into various petroleum products, including diesel, natural gas, naphtha, gasoline, waxes, and lubricating oils.

Gasoline can now be synthesized from air, water, and LOTS of energy.

The Fuel Nozzle Drip Retainer is said to virtually eliminate the wasted drops of fuel that trickle out of gas pumps.

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a system that uses microwaves to convert waste oil into vehicle fuel.

The E-Fuel MicroFusion Reactor lets you break down organic waste for subsequent distillation into ethanol fuel.
