This could be promising. I wonder what's in it...
"Shell produced the synthetic kerosene in its research center in Amsterdam based on CO2, water and renewable energy from sun and wind from Dutch soil".
Very vague, corporate back-slapping chemical description. It sounds kinda like ethanol, which IMAO burns as clean as green firewood. Synthetic kerosene still puts CO2 into the upper atmosphere, plus it must take a tremendous amount of energy to produce, but it at least offers an alternative should we exhaust oil reserves.
Definitely some cool research. I'm interested to learn more and see where this goes.
