Many experts hail synthetic fuels as the “missing link” needed to pivot away from fossil fuels and towards a net-zero global economy. So, what exactly are synthetic fuels and how can they help address issues like global warming, air pollution and the eventual depletion of natural resources ...
That made us want to know more about these e-fuels and the discussion around their use, to better understand the for and against argument. What is meant by e-fuel? E-fuel is a synthetic version of fossil fuel. Brilliant chemists have broken down the chains of elements that make up coal...
dyes, and artificial flavors, consumes over one million tons of these resources daily, contributing to approximately 5% of global emissions. Researchers, led by Professor Julia Vorholt, are working on reducing this dependency by developing synthetic bacteria that can convert ‘green methanol’—created ...
*SAF: Sustainable Aviation Fuels. ** Synthetic fuels are made from hydrogen designed by electrolysis of water with low-carbon electricity as well as CO2 captured in the atmosphere or in industrial fumes. Ineratec's Frankfurt factory On April 19, 2023, Ineratec celebrated the start of work on...
companies looking to make an impact will design solutions that are compatible with current systems or value chains rather than requiring a re-engineering of existing equipment or processes. For example, Bolt Threads designed Mylo, a sustainable alternative to leather made from mycelia (the branched ...
The real challenge is sustainability: stabilizing and reversing global climate change, minimizing political and economic energy volatility, and smoothing the transition from fossil fuels in the distant future. In response to this challenge, many are looking to biotechnology to develop biofuels, such as...
Acrylic fiber fabrics are made from a synthetic polymer called acrylonitrile. This type of fiber is produced by reacting certain petroleum or coal-based chemicals with a variety of monomers, which means that acrylic fabric is a fossil fuel-based fiber. Since acrylic fabric is one of the least...
synthetic and some plant-based polyester fibers are made from ethylene, which is a constituent of petroleum that can also be derived from other sources. While some forms of polyester are biodegradable, most of them are not, and polyester production and use contribute to pollution around the ...
Several potential carbon-neutral alternatives to diesel combustion engines exist, including hydrogen engines and biofuels or synthetic fuels (synfuels); however, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are considered suitable propulsion systems for most commercial vehicle use cases and are exp...
