BP and MIT Exploring New Fuel Options To Fight Global Energy Problems

BP became a founding member of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Energy Initiative this week to explore energy conversion of low-carbon feedstocks.

BP and MIT plan to study ways of transforming materials such as coal and petcoke into electricity, liquid fuels and chemicals to slash carbon dioxide emissions. The MIT Energy Initiative was created last year to fight global energy problems.

The research program will study several lines of research, including fueks market and policy analysis, gasification technology development, converting synthesis gas to liquid fuels, synthesis gas cleanup and decarbonisation.
