Biofuel: Sawdust Will Turn Into Gasoline: Scientists Report

 

 

Gasoline will now be made from straw, scientists find a new way

Scientists engaged in the search for alternative fuels have a big success.

In this, scientists have discovered a new method of making gasoline/fuel from straw or filtered.

This will help gas plants to make green fuels. This work was done by researchers at Catholic University in Lewen, Belgium.

They have discovered the method of developing cellulose present in sufficient quantity of straw as a hydrocarbon chain.

Burt Sales of the University says that this hydrocarbon can be used as a fuel by mixing gasoline.

Cellulose will be mixed gasoline 'second generation biofuel'.

They start with the residue of plants and use a chemical process to develop them as petrochemical.

According to him, the quality of this biofuel is so good that after the process is over, you have to use the carbon dating process to differentiate between gasoline and natural gasoline made from cellulose.

Researchers had established a 'Chemical Reactor' in their laboratory in 2014 which could produce cellulose gasoline in small quantities.
