LPG is now a Renewable Energy Resource


2

• What do you when you add sugar (glucose) with
  some minute invisible bacteria?

3
LPG!

4

• Yes, you heard that right. Youll get Liquefied
  Petroleum Gas.
• With this one groundbreaking process, the
  traditional fossil fuel has now become a
  renewable energy resource to offer an extensive
  range of Industrial gas solutions.

The Process

6

• A group of scientist from Imperial College in
  London led by researcher Patrik Jones has
  successfully developed a new biosynthetic process
  which converts the traditional fossil fuel into a
  renewable energy resource with the help of the
  genetically engineered version of E.Coli
  bacterium.

7

• The bacterium is made to produce Propane that
  makes a large component of LPG through genetic
  modifications. With the help of enzymes
  (Thioesterase), the bacteria are made to produce
  propane instead of its normal cellular material.

8

• The Propane released is as similar as the regular
  Propane chemical compound (C3H8) and can be used
  just like the traditional fuel made fossil fuels
  and oil refining. This means that it is suitable
  for all types of solutions ranging from cooking
  to autogas.

The entire results of this process have been
published in the journal Natural Communication.

• Since the process has just kick-started, itll
  take some 5 to 10 years to get commercially
  feasible. I hope that over the next 5 to 10
  years we will be able to achieve commercially
  viable processes that will sustainably fuel our
  energy demands, Jones said.

11

• Right now the team is making just a small portion
  of what is required for commercialization. But in
  mere future, it can be used for a wide range of
  domestic and industrial appliances. The liquefied
  Propane can be stored in cylinders and tanks
  through the LPG Bottling plant to provide
  customized gas solutions.

12
As we all know, this process is a great value to
the environment, the LPG produced by it can be
used as an Aerosol propellant gas, replacing the
harmful Chlorofluorocarbons which is a great
cause for the ozone depletion. Moreover, they are
safe to use and aims at maintaining a
non-pollutant atmosphere. This gas can be
instrumental in providing air-conditioning and
refrigeration.
13
Oxy-fuel welding and Oxy-fuel cutting are two
different processes which require fuel gases to
weld and cut the metal respectively. The LPG can
be used as a fuel gas and also used for the
welding cutting equipment.

Concluding Notes



15
To our surprise, the team hasnt rested on its
laurels, instead, they are planning to produce
the same results with the photosynthetic
bacteria. This means that we can get gaseous fuel
right from the solar energy (sun). With the
renewable energy, the future is bright for our
future generation.
