What organism do you use to make gasoline?

Gasoline is primarily made from petroleum, a fossil fuel derived from organic compounds in the Earth's crust. Microorganisms are not used to produce gasoline on a commercial scale, but they may be utilized in the future for biofuel production as a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.


How do you oxygenate gasoline?

You can make ethanol (drinking alcohol) and power your car with that, or you can put biofuel into your car if it runs diesel.


What does Brazil use for automobile fuel?

Basiccaly the same as the other countries.Brazil uses gasoline, GNV gas, and ethonal made from sugar cane (this kind of fuel, called Etanol, is starting to be exported for other countries, such as the United States, after an agreement made between the Brazilian and American government for the use of this fuel, that is less pollutant than those made with Petrol)that's why Brazil developed the bi-flex technology for cars, making them able to use gasoline and alcohol in the same car.Nowadays, there are already tri-flex cars in the streets. They work with three different fuels.


What is the main chemical in biofuel?

The main component is ethanol.


How can biofuel production increase carbon dioxide levels?

Biofuel production does not increase carbon dioxide levels. Biofuel comes from recently grown vegetation of many kinds. When the vegetation grew earlier in the season it took carbon dioxide out of the air. When the biofuel is extracted and burnt that same carbon dioxide is released into the air again. There is no increase of carbon dioxide. Biofuel is carbon neutral. This is the problem with fossil fuels, who took carbon from the air many millions of years ago. Suddenly releasing this now is adding to the greenhouse gas levels and causing global warming.

Biofuel Vehicles Use Renewable Resources ?

Biofuel vehicles have several advantages over a gasoline powered car.
