University of Exeter scientists have developed a new method to make bugs produce diesel on demand. While the technology still faces many significant commercialisation challenges, the diesel, produced by special strains of E. coli bacteria, is almost identical to conventional diesel fuel and so does not need to be blended with petroleum products as is often required by biodiesels derived from plant oils. This also means that the diesel can be ...Monday, 22 April 2013
Bacteria to Produce Diesel on Demand
