Israeli inventers: ‘Green feed’ fuel could replace gasoline
Remember that story about how the world would be so different if Moses had made a right after crossing the Red Sea?
No so fast.
God DID give us brains to use.
Israel has reported the invention of a green alternative to crude oil.
Israel’s Ben-Gurion University asserted that researchers developed a method to use water and carbon dioxide to produce fuel.
The university said its government-supported team produced what was termed a “green feed” that could be converted into liquid fuel and replace gasoline.
“It is envisaged that the short-term implementation of the process will combine synthetic gas produced from various renewable and alternative sources with carbon dioxide and hydrogen,” Mordechai Herskowitz, vice president of research, said.
“Since there are no foreseen technological barriers, the new process should become a reality within five to 10 years.”
Herskowitz said the university has submitted a patent for the green fuel. He said bench experiments have been completed and the process would be demonstrated to industry.
Here’s hoping this is cheaper than oil from beneath the ground.

Electricity Can Be Produced Directly From Biomass By Solar-induced Hybrid Fuel Cell
A new solar-induced direct biomass-to-electricity hybrid fuel cell can operate on fuels as varied as powdered wood. The fuel cell relies on a polyoxometalate (POM) catalyst (shown in the vials) which changes color as it reacts with light. Now, researchers...

Types Of Biomass
Scientists recognize four types of biomass:Wood and agricultural products: This consists of so-called ‘home-grown' products such as wood logs and chips etc. It is important to note that almost any biological matter can produce biomass energy. Agricultural...
