- Company Profile:
A vehicle that can run alternately on two or more sources of fuel. This includes cars capable of running on gasoline and gasoline/ethanol mixtures, as well as cars that can run on both gasoline and natural gas.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
A fuel derived from the long-ago-dead-and-buried remains of organic life on Earth -- e.g., dinosaurs -- that is generally considered non-renewable. The use of these fuels contributes to pollution and is widely considered a factor in global climate change.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
A chemical or heat process used to convert carbonaceous material -- coal, petroleum, biomass -- into its gaseous components, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
The process of refining natural gas and other hydrocarbons into longer-chain hydrocarbons, which can be used to convert gaseous waste products into fuels.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
The point at which a liquid fuel cools to the consistency of petroleum jelly.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
An organism whose genetic material has been modified through recombinant DNA technology, altering the phenotype of the organism to meet desired specifications. What, you don't know what a phenotype is?
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
A diesel-powered automobile rigged post-production to run on used vegetable oil.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
A chemical compound that contains a carbon backbone with hydrogen atoms attached to that backbone. What we refer to as petroleum is actually liquid, geologically extracted hydrocarbons, and gaseous geologic hydrocarbons are what we know as natural gas.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
An older model of diesel engine in which fuel is injected into a pre-chamber, partly combusted, and then sent to the fuel-injection chamber.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Alcohol containing one carbon atom per molecule, generally made from natural gas, with about half the energy density of gasoline, also known as ‘wood alcohol’
