Researchers from Baylor University have introduced an advanced method for efficient biofuel combustion using a novel Swirl Burst (SB) injector.

The SB injector's flexibility allows the combustion of various glycerol/methanol ratios without hardware modifications, making it ideal for power plants aiming to meet stringent emissions regulations.

But methanol would be far better than the more reactive and volatile hydrogen, argues George Olah, a chemist and Nobel laureate, in a new book, Beyond Oil and Gas: The Methanol Economy.

Researchers offered a technology for generating energy for an electric car engine using methanol. Sergey Shcheklein and Aleksey Dubinin came up with the idea of using methanol after analyzing more ...

"In the presence of oxygen, methanol combustion produces CO2 and water," explained Professor Fontaine. "Chemists are looking for catalysts that would yield the opposite reaction.

Researchers have developed a highly effective method for converting carbon dioxide into methanol, which can be used as a low-emissions fuel for vehicles.

For years researchers have been looking for a method to convert carbon dioxide directly into methanol, in order to create a new source of fuel, and reduce the dependency on fossil fuels.
