the founder of this new technique. He found a way to converting plant cellulose into gasoline components. Similarly, James Dumesic has announced a way of using green gas for jet fuel. This green gas may take around ten years to arrive at the pump of the gas station. Even when they will, many people won't even know they are using a different type of gasoline. "It is likely that the future consumer will not even know that they are putting biofuels into their car," said Huber.The whole process of creating green gasoline is quite simple. First, cellulose is rapidly heated. The liquid is then rapidly cooled to create a substance very similar to gasoline. The compounds that formed in that single step, like naphthalene and toluene, make up one fourth of the suite of chemicals found in gasoline. The liquid can be further treated to form the remaining gasoline components.
