The present invention provides a blended fuel and methods for producing the blended fuel, wherein a low carbon fuel derived from a renewable resource such as biomass, is blended with a traditional, petroleum derived fuel. A blended fuel which includes greater than 10% by volume of low carbon fuel has an overall improved lifecycle greenhouse gas content of about 5% or more compared to the petroleum derived fuel. Also, blending of the low carbon fuel to the traditional, petroleum fuel improves various engine performance characteristics of the traditional fuel.

Provided is a fuel composition prepared by adding gas-to-liquid oil and water to light cycle oil to conduct emulsification. The fuel composition is used as a fuel for a diesel engine (12) in a ship (10). The ship (10) includes a fresh water tank (15), an LCO tank (13), and a GTL tank (14) configured to store water, light cycle oil, and gas-to-liquid oil, respectively, and a mixer (16) configured to mix the water, the light cycle oil, and the gas-to-liquid oil fed from the respective tanks to produce the fuel composition.

An apparatus for producing a natural gas using carbon dioxide and water in air that includes an air-compressing member, a water collecting member, a water storing member, a carbon dioxide collecting member, a water electrolysis member, and a methanation reaction member. The water electrolysis member electrolyzes water separated from compressed air. The methanation reaction member generates a natural gas by reacting hydrogen from the electrolysis and carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide collecting member. A method of producing a natural gas using carbon dioxide and water in air includes supplying hydrogen electrolyzed from water separated from air and carbon dioxide collected from the dry air to a methanation reaction member to generate a natural gas. A natural gas-synthesizing equipment system includes an apparatus for producing a natural gas using carbon dioxide and water in air.

A system and method produce industrial hydrocarbons and other molecules in three coordinated reactors using nuclear process heat. A nuclear reactor generates heat via a nuclear process, and this heat is physically carried to one or both of the other reactors via a thermal medium. A gasification reactor uses the nuclear heat for a gasification process that converts biomass, e.g. cellulose or other polysaccharides, into gaseous hydrogen and carbon monoxide (i.e. syngas). The gasification process may be anaerobic, without requiring addition of purified or atmospheric oxygen or consumption of input biomass to provide the process heat. The syngas is carried to a Fischer-Tropsch reactor for conversion into desired output molecules, such as aviation or diesel fuel or carbon fibers, according to a selected chemical process.

A method for producing a synthetic fuel from hydrogen and carbon dioxide comprises extracting hydrogen molecules from hydrogen compounds in a hydrogen feedstock to produce a hydrogen-containing fluid stream; extracting carbon dioxide molecules from a dilute gaseous mixture in a carbon dioxide feedstock to produce a carbon dioxide containing fluid stream; and processing the hydrogen and carbon dioxide containing fluid streams to produce a synthetic fuel. At least some thermal energy and/or material used for at least one of the steps of extracting hydrogen molecules, extracting carbon dioxide molecules, and processing the hydrogen and carbon dioxide containing fluid streams is obtained from thermal energy and/or material produced by another one of the steps of extracting hydrogen molecules, extracting carbon dioxide molecules, and processing the hydrogen and carbon dioxide containing fluid streams.

A method for producing a gasoline alternative by mixing FT light naphtha obtained through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using renewable power with bioalcohol obtained from biomass, includes: determining a mixing ratio of the bioalcohol to the FT light naphtha based on an octane value of the FT light naphtha, a blending octane value of the bioalcohol, and a predetermined target octane value; determining a hydrogenation ratio for hydrogenation of olefin contained in the FT light naphtha to paraffin such that the gasoline alternative has an olefin content ratio of 10 vol % or less based on the determined mixing ratio of the bioalcohol and an olefin content ratio of the FT light naphtha; hydrogenating the FT light naphtha according to the determined hydrogenation ratio; and mixing the bioalcohol with the hydrogenated FT light naphtha according to the determined mixing ratio of the bioalcohol.

Processes for producing high biogenic concentration Fischer-Tropsch liquids derived from the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (MSW) feedstock that contains a relatively high concentration of biogenic carbon (derived from plants) and a relatively low concentration of non-biogenic carbon (derived from fossil sources) wherein the biogenic content of the Fischer-Tropsch liquids is the same as the biogenic content of the feedstock.
