Although it is very difficult to pin down, the AFS has been technically proven and has been endorsed by a number of scientists and engineers in the field. Because this is a hydrocarbon-based liquid fuels, it is also can be blended with diesel and jet fuel.
In addition to supporting the movement calling for the world to reduce the use of fossil fuel reserves increasingly thin on the ground, these technologies also offer the potential for thousands of jobs and boost the economy rate.
A team at Air Fuel Synthesis (AFS) said it has created a system that can convert renewable energy into power by using carbon dioxide (CO2) and water are processed into liquid hydrocarbon fuels that can directly be used in gasoline engines.
The company go to electrolited water to produce hydrogen combined with carbon dioxide through a reactor fuel to produce liquid hydrocarbon fuels, such as gasoline.
While this AFS uses a small-scale processing equipment run by electricity from the public power grid. But onwards, the AFS will use electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as wind or solar.
Small props can produce 5 to 10 liters of fuel a day. But AFS intend to make it a commercial scale in size which is expected to be operational by 2015.
