Environmentally benign
Blue Fuel™, in ambient conditions and a gaseous state, is a non-greenhouse gas: it has a short half-life in the troposphere, persisting but for a matter of days, and never accumulating in concentrations that will affect the heat flow of solar radiation. When produced using renewable sources of energy, such as wind or hydro, and converted to a liquid, it can be considered carbon neutral because the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere during combustion is balanced by the amount captured, from flue gases, for example, to produce it. When Blue Fuel™ is produced from fossil fuels, such as natural gas or coal, it is not carbon neutral. The ultimate scenario for Blue Fuel™ is to capture the CO2 emitted during combustion, and to use it to produce more Blue Fuel™. This could certainly be done at power plants with Blue Fuel™-fired generators. By closing the carbon loop, Blue Fuel™ could make a significant contribution to mitigating global warming.
