大卫·韦尼克是毕业于加州大学的博士生。据加州大学报道,有一天,他和同事们灵机一动,想到这些被浪费掉的排泄物或许可以转化为可再生燃料。
'We're working with anything such as agricultural waste like manure, municipal waste like sewage, plant matter, cellulosic matter and even carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere,' said Wernick in a video discussing the research.
韦尼克在某个视频中讨论了这项研究:“我们正在不断地实验。肥料之类的农业废弃物,污水等城市垃圾,还有植物、纤维素,甚至是空气中的二氧化碳,我们都不放过。”
Wernick explained that the world is dominated by gasoline, diesel and jet fuel as the main transportation fuels.
韦尼克解释说,汽油、柴油和喷气燃料这些主要的交通燃料目前在世界上占据主导地位。
In 2017, the US consumed 375 million gallons of gasoline every day for the entire year, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
据美国能源情报署数据,2017年,美国每天消耗3.75亿加仑的汽油。
Gasoline isn't just a toxic and highly flammable liquid it also produces vapors that pollute our air.
汽油不仅是有毒、易燃液体,它还会释放气体,污染空气。
Burning this liquid releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere – the biggest culprit of climate change.
