Joule Unlimited, Inc, a company engaged in the production of its trademarked Liquid Fuel from the Sun, has declared the receipt of U.S. patent protection for its novel technology of converting sunlight and waste carbon dioxide into hydrocarbon fluids that can be exchanged with a normally used diesel.
Dissimilar to other type of biofuel production procedures that use mediates such as algal, agricultural biomass or sugar the newly invented process produces hydrocarbon fuel using a single-step nonstop process without utilizing any type of raw materials such as feedstock with improved output efficiency and reduced cost of production.
The patent designated as “Methods and Compositions for the Recombinant Biosynthesis of n-Alkanes,” deals with the usage of arranged photosynthetic microorganisms for the process of producing diesel molecules. The microorganisms work as biocatalysts that utilize waste CO2, sunlight and non-fresh water to incessantly and directly create diesel range of hydrocarbons that are chemically different from bio-diesel but well suited to working with the currently available fuel infrastructure. The introduction brightens the chances of producing renewable fuel on a large scale while adequately dealing with resource, and cost constraints related to other biomass products. The process produces more power than its intake and offers clean diesel without sulfur.
Bill Sims, Joule’s President and CEO, said that the receipt of patent earmarks a very important milestone for the developed IP strategy and corroborates the radical character of the invented processes that has the capability to produce a substitute for fossil fuel in adequate quantities, cost effectively even without receiving any type of subsidy.
