Synthetic fuel could eliminate US need for crude oil
The
United States could eliminate the need for crude oil by using a
combination of coal, natural gas and non-food crops to make synthetic
fuel, a team of researchers has found. Besides economic and national
security benefits, the plan has potential environmental advantages.
Because plants absorb carbon dioxide to grow, the United States could
cut vehicle greenhouse emissions by as much as 50 percent in the next
several decades using non-food crops to create liquid fuels, the
researchers said.
