Cleaner Alternative Fuel Announced: Advanced Energy Research Introduces TrueFuel.Business Editors/Energy Writers ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 2001 Advanced Energy Research Corporation today announced the release of TrueFuel(TM). TrueFuel is a gas fuel, similar to synthetic gas or Syngas
Syngas (from synthesis gas) is the name given to a gas mixture that contains varying amounts of carbon monoxide and hydrogen generated by the gasification of a carbon containing fuel to a gaseous product with , and offers a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels fossil fuel: see energy, sources of; fuel. fossil fuel Any of a class of materials of biologic origin occurring within the Earth's crust that can be used as a source of energy. Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. . The more you look at TrueFuel, the more you can see that TrueFuel has the potential to reduce dependence on foreign oil and increase our energy security. "TrueFuel may be formed from raw or waste carbon from fossil and non-fossil feedstocks. TrueFuel can replace natural gas, coal, petroleum and other renewable energy Renewable energy utilizes natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, and hydroelectricity to biomass and biofuels for transportation. ," explains John Lux, President of Advanced Energy Research. "TrueFuel is a renewable fuel when its carbon comes from non-fossil sources." We believe that TrueFuel is a significant advance because: TrueFuel solves major limitations of R&D biomass gasifiers -- TrueFuel contains no tars -- TrueFuel does not need to be "scrubbed." -- TrueFuel has low concentrations of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Sulfur gases have not been detected. TrueFuel is a high quality, medium-heat content fuel gas (approx. 300 BTUs). TrueFuel has superior engine firing behavior compared to coal Syngas. Also, TrueFuel offers superior flame geometry for gas turbines. "We can immediately use TrueFuel as a fuel in engines, compress it in tanks. TrueFuel's carbon feedstock feed·stock n. Raw material required for an industrial process. Noun 1. feedstock - the raw material that is required for some industrial process raw material, staple - material suitable for manufacture or use or finishing is worldwide commodity and is cheap. Dirty or salty salt·y adj. salt·i·er, salt·i·est 1. Of, containing, or seasoned with salt. 2. Suggestive of the sea or sailing life. 3. Witty; pungent; earthy: salty humor. water can be used to make TrueFuel," Lux reported. "By actual EPA EPA eicosapentaenoic acid. EPA abbr. eicosapentaenoic acid EPA, n.pr See acid, eicosapentaenoic. EPA, n. test, the gas has reduced hydrocarbon hydrocarbon (hī'drōkär`bən), any organic compound composed solely of the elements hydrogen and carbon. The hydrocarbons differ both in the total number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in their molecules and in the proportion of hydrogen and NOX pollution emissions. That is why we believe that TrueFuel will inevitably be thought of as an ideal fuel. We believe that TrueFuel can make fuel cells obsolete." "We believe that world economies need quality medium-heat fuels. A medium-heat fuel is one that can be used in industry for process heat, in engines and for metal treatment. Prices and pollution for fossil fuels have generally increased. We believe that in the future we will rely on renewable hydrogen and carbon carrier medium-heat fuels," said John Lux, "and look back on today as the start of the new era for TrueFuel."
