Breakthrough promises $1.50 per gallon synthetic gasoline with no carbon emissions
UK-based Cella Energy has developed a synthetic fuel that could lead to US$1.50 per gallon gasoline. Apart from promising a future transportation fuel with a stable price regardless of oil prices, the fuel is hydrogen based and produces no carbon emissions when burned. The technology is based on complex hydrides, and has been developed over a four year top secret program at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford. Early indications are that the fuel can be used in existing internal combustion engined vehicles without engine modification.

According to Stephen Voller CEO at Cella Energy, the technology was developed using advanced materials science, taking high energy materials and encapsulating them using a nanostructuring technique called coaxial electrospraying.

“We have developed new micro-beads that can be used in an existing gasoline or petrol vehicle to replace oil-based fuels,” said Voller. “Early indications are that the micro-beads can be used in existing vehicles without engine modification.”

“The materials are hydrogen-based, and so when used produce no carbon emissions at the point of use, in a similar way to electric vehicles”, said Voller.

The technology has been developed over a four-year top secret programme at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford, UK.

The development team is led by Professor Stephen Bennington in collaboration with scientists from University College London and Oxford University.

Professor Bennington, Chief Scientific Officer at Cella Energy said, “our technology is based on materials called complex hydrides that contain hydrogen. When encapsulated using our unique patented process, they are safer to handle than regular gasoline.”

Number 1 is what will be the source for the reduced Hydrogen. (reduce referring to the redox chemical characteristics).

Water is not the energy source for reduced Hydrogen though it is a ready source for the material Hydrogen but in the highly oxidized state. The energy to reduce, split apart water into Oxygen and Hydrogen gas, has to come from something else. Solar, Hydrocarbon, Nuclear?

Number 2 the present Hydride they are compounding as beads that can be "poured" into a car does not meet the Thermodynamics or the rate of Hydrogen delivery to power an internal combustion engine. I think it is more suited to a storage process that can then be used to power fuel cells in production of electricity for electric cars except

Number 3 it isn't presently reversable so that it is a consumable product and therefore will have disposal problems

Why can't they make an engine that runs on natural gas? This country has 100 yrs supply of it.

We have engines that run on NG.

Yeah, I'm sure they would spend 50 million to buy it and then sit on it instead of using it to bury every other energy company in the world and rake in billions in profits...

The entire Los Angeles Metro bus line runs on natural gas.

I'm guessing Donger has no fewer than five .50 shells with "Bennington" scratched into them at the moment.

I like this though... $1.50 a gallon would be better on the old pocketbook than the $4-5 we are heading to.

Plus, imagine no more drilling for oil... oil spills... etc.
exactly!!

If the US focused on the ills of this country versus trying to run shit on a false level, gas would be pretty close to free.
