Wow ! Nouveau carburant !!

"UK-based Cella Energy has developed a synthetic fuel that could lead to US$1.50 per gallon gasoline. Apart from promising a future transportation fuel with a stable price regardless of oil prices, the fuel is hydrogen based and produces no carbon emissions when burned.

The technology is based on complex hydrides, and has been developed over a four year top secret program at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford. Early indications are that the fuel can be used in existing internal combustion engined vehicles without engine modification.

According to Stephen Voller CEO at Cella Energy, the technology was developed using advanced materials science, taking high energy materials and encapsulating them using a nanostructuring technique called coaxial electrospraying.

"We have developed new micro-beads that can be used in an existing gasoline or petrol vehicle to replace oil-based fuels," said Voller. "Early indications are that the micro-beads can be used in existing vehicles without engine modification."

"The materials are hydrogen-based, and so when used produce no carbon emissions at the point of use, in a similar way to electric vehicles", said Voller.

The technology has been developed over a four-year top secret programme at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford, UK.

The development team is led by Professor Stephen Bennington in collaboration with scientists from University College London and Oxford University.

Professor Bennington, Chief Scientific Officer at Cella Energy said, "our technology is based on materials called complex hydrides that contain hydrogen. When encapsulated using our unique patented process, they are safer to handle than regular gasoline."

Ca verra s'en doute jamais le jour.

1.50 le gallon = 1.50 pour quasiment 4L d'essence? Pas chere!!!

3.3 Litre US

3.0 Litre Canadien un Galon.

T'en pensse quoi de la nouvelle?

Comme j'ai dis, je suis sur que tout sera racheter par les multinational et sa verra jamais le jour.

Mais sinon c'est quand meme une grande nouvelle!

Pas chère, ce qui fait 63$ US du barril. Mais reste à voir la performance aussi. C'est pas mieux si ça consomme 20l/100km.

Intéressant !

Sceptique .... Déja on sais pas si on peux vraiment produire de l'hydrogène a petit prix (A tout le moins pas a l'échelle actuel) ...... Au niveau du prix, j'imagine qu'il parle avec une capacité de production semblable a celle du pétrole actuel, ce qui peux être dans 30-40-50 voir 100 ans si le procéder est comlexe (J'imagine, nanotechnologie rime rarement avec simple) ....

En gros, y'on juste a démontrer qui peuvent vraiment en produire, en faire la démonstration, et on verra bien après .... Faut pas oublier que c'est un press release, c'est pas le genre d'endroit que tu mentionne les obstacles les plus important ....
