Nature World: A gasoline-like fuel can be synthesized from plant waste materials produced by farms and forestry operations or municipal green waste, according to scientists from the University of California, Davis, who invented the new process used to synthesize the fuel.
The process, which is reported by the researchers in the journal Angewandte Chemie, utilizes cellulosic materials from plant matter.
A long chain of straight carbon atoms is the essence of diesel fuel, but gasoline molecules are shorter...
