Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
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.
