This breakthrough technology, the company says, will deliver renewable supplies of liquid fossil fuel almost anywhere on Earth, in essentially unlimited quantity and at an energy-cost equivalent of $30 (U.S.) a barrel of crude oil. It will deliver, the company says, \u201cfossil fuels on demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not talking \u201cbiofuels\u201d \u2013 not, at any rate, in the usual sense of the word. The Joule technology requires no \u201cfeedstock,\u201d no corn, no wood, no garbage, no algae. Aside from hungry, gene-altered micro-organisms, it requires only carbon dioxide and sunshine to manufacture crude. And water: whether fresh, brackish or salt. With these \u201cinputs,\u201d it mimics photosynthesis, the process by which green leaves use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Indeed, the company describes its manufacture of fossil fuels as \u201cartificial photosynthesis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joule says it now has \u201ca library\u201d of fossil-fuel organisms at work in its Massachusetts labs, each engineered to produce a different fuel. It has \u201cproven the process,\u201d has produced ethanol (for example) at a rate equivalent to 10,000 U.S. gallons an acre a year. <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Esses organismos \u00e0 solta ser\u00e3o a m\u00e3e de todas as polui\u00e7\u00f5es.<br \/>\n\u00c9 desta que os oceanos morrem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheira a treta por aqui&#8230; A brave new world of fossil fuels on demand In September, a privately held and highly secretive U.S. biotech company named Joule Unlimited received a patent for \u201ca proprietary organism\u201d \u2013 a genetically adapted E. coli bacterium \u2013 that feeds solely on carbon dioxide and excretes liquid hydrocarbons: diesel fuel, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,1,14,19],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15405"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15405"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15541,"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15405\/revisions\/15541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inacreditavel.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
