- Company Profile:
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 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’
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Traditional diesel engines must be modified to heat the oil before it reaches the fuel injectors in order to handle straight vegetable oil. Modified, any diesel engine can run on veggie oil. Without modification, the oil must first be converted to biodiesel.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Products of combustion that contribute to the formation of smog and ozone.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Tiny particles of a solid or liquid suspended in a gas, or the fine particles of carbonaceous soot and other organic molecules discharged into the air during combustion.
