Emissions Should be Cut More in Oil Wells and Power Plants Than Alternative Fuel Vehicles

Emissions Should be Cut More in Oil Wells and Power Plants Than Alternative Fuel Vehicles

Making cars more fuel-efficient is great for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but rather than promoting sales of electric and other alternative-fuel vehicles, policymakers should turn their focus to cutting emissions in other energy sectors—from oil wells and power plants to farms and forests affected by biofuels production—says a University of Michigan researcher.

Bacteria Produces Diesel Fuel That Does Not Require Blending with Petroleum Products

Bacteria Produces Diesel Fuel That Does Not Require Blending with Petroleum Products

It sounds like science fiction but a team from the University of Exeter, with support from Shell, has developed a method to make bacteria produce diesel on demand. While the technology still faces many significant commercialisation challenges, the diesel, produced by special strains of E. coli bacteria, is almost identical to conventional diesel fuel and so does not need to be blended with petroleum products as is often required by biodiesels derived from plant oils.
