Biobutanol is a four-carbon alcohol produced by the fermentation of biomass. It has a long hydrocarbon chain which renders it non-polar.
People were initially slow to embrace the concept of the electric car, although recent years have seen it rise in popularity as the benefits become more apparent, especially as the worldwide use of fossil fuels declines amid concerns over global warming.

Algal biofuel is an alternative to fossil fuel, which is generated by specific algae species from carbon dioxide.
A discovery in molecular chemistry may help remove a barrier to the widespread use of diesel and other fuel-efficient "lean burn" vehicle engines.
The far-ranging potential applications of this technology include DOE’s hydrogen fuel cell-powered “Freedom CAR,” and personal power-jackets that could use heat from the human body to recharge cell-phones and other electronic devices.
High-Density Polyethylene, usually shortened to HDPE or PEHD, is a plastic polymer with flexible properties which make it ideal for a wide range of applications.
Pyrolysis is a process of chemically decomposing organic materials at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. The process typically occurs at temperatures above 430°C (800°F) and under pressure.
Parahydrogen-enhanced MRI can be used to track gases and liquids in microfluidic devices as well as in the void spaces of a tightly packed catalyst reactor bed.
LEDs or light emitting diodes are light sources that operate when electrons move through a semiconductor material.
