Synthetic Gasoline

Post by Maverick »

This is pretty neat for old cars. For future cars, it seems the intermediate products, Hydrogen and Methanol, would be cheaper. My choice, long term, would be many, many solar-powered H2/O2 generating stations making fuel for fuel cells in vehicles.

Didnt the Germans make syntethic gasoline from coal during WW2?

So this seems to be yet a different process? Cool, mutliple sources that can all be refined into combustable gasoline.
