HOW AIR CONVERTS INTO PETROL
We have all become accustomed to a fossil oil dependent way of living. what if that fossil oil could begin to be replaced by sustainable, carbon neutral, 'drop-in liquid fuels to power all existing vehicles, boats and aircraft?
A small company in the north of England has developed the "air capture" technology to create synthetic petrol using only air and electricity.
Experts tonight hailed the astonishing breakthrough as a potential "game-changer" in the battle against climate change and a saviour for world's energy crisis
The technology, presented to a London engineering conference this week, removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
The "petrol from air" technology involves taking sodium hydroxide and mixing it with carbon dioxide before "electrolysing" the sodium carbonate that it produces to form pure carbon dioxide
Hydrogen is then produced by electrolysing water vapour captured with a dehumidifier
Air fuel Synthesis has been successful with a joint Venture funding bid in Round 4 of the Regional Growth Fund application. AFS will design and build a commercial scale Methanol to Petrol Processing plant producing(initially) 1.2 litres of BIO-FUEL annually. The plant will be located at a site peterlee and will create 82+jobs over the project duration, AFS will also install Renewable Energy Generation Technology to provide 'Green' Electricity to the site, so that we are manufacturing a truly 'carbon Neutral' fuel
AFS expect to have the plant fully operational and servicing clients from the early part of 2015 Discussions are now underway with potential clients and sales partners to develop the retail channels for AFS products
