ALTERNATIVE FUELS * UK - Breakthrough promises $1.50 per gallon synthetic gasoline with no carbon emissions

Didcot,Oxfordshire,UK -Gizmag, by Mike Hanlon -January 26, 2011: -- UK-based Cella Energy has developed a synthetic fuel that could lead to US$1.50 per gallon gasoline. Apart from promising a future transportation fuel with a stable price regardless of oil prices, the fuel is hydrogen based and produces no carbon emissions when burned. The technology is based on complex hydrides, and has been developed over a four year top secret program at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford. Early indications are that the fuel can be used in existing internal combustion engined vehicles without engine modification...  According to Stephen Voller CEO at Cella Energy, the technology was developed using advanced materials science, taking high energy materials and encapsulating them using a nanostructuring technique called coaxial electrospraying...  The technology has been developed over a four-year top secret programme at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford, UK...  The development team is led by Professor Stephen Bennington in collaboration with scientists from University College London and Oxford University...
