- Company Profile:
A lethal gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels in internal combustion engines. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. (As in flavorless, we mean, though it's also been known to tell a bad joke or two.)
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
A distillate of fuel oil that has been historically derived from petroleum for use in internal combustion engines. Can also be derived from plant and animal sources.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Substances discharged into the air during combustion, e.g., all that stuff that comes out of your car.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
A fuel derived from the long-ago-dead-and-buried remains of organic life on Earth -- e.g., dinosaurs -- that is generally considered non-renewable. The use of these fuels contributes to pollution and is widely considered a factor in global climate change.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
A chemical compound that contains a carbon backbone with hydrogen atoms attached to that backbone. What we refer to as petroleum is actually liquid, geologically extracted hydrocarbons, and gaseous geologic hydrocarbons are what we know as natural gas.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Colorless volatile liquid created through the fermentation of sugars or starches
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Fiber contained in leaves, stems, and stalks of plants and trees. It is the most abundant organic compound on earth
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Herb-touting, veggie-oil-loving outlaw country legend who in 2005 founded BioWillie to market biodiesel to truck stops around the country.
Industry:Biotechnology; Energy
Canadian singer/songwriter with a heart of gold and a soft spot for biodiesel, which he uses to power his tour bus.
