Rational & Overall Goal
The goal of this ongoing activity is to convert solar energy (directly and in combination with that stored in the form of lignocellulosic biomass) to liquid hydrocarbon fuels – as substitutes for petroleum-based fuels (gasoline, jet, diesel).

Chemistry of the Process
• Ideal gasification rxnCH1.4O0.6 + 0.4 O2
0.7 CO + 0.3 CO2 + 0.6 H2 + 0.1 H2O
• Ideal Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis rxn
CO + 2 H2
-CH2- + H2O
