Oxygenated fuel

Abstract

Techniques, systems, apparatus and material are disclosed for generating oxygenated fuel. In one aspect, a method of producing an oxygenated fuel from biomass waste for use in a combustion system includes dissociating the biomass waste to produce one or more carbon donors. The biomass waste produced carbon donors are reacted with an oxygen donor to produce the oxygenated fuel comprising oxygenated carbon. Reacting the carbon donors with the oxygen donors includes applying waste heat recovered from an external heat source to the reaction of carbon donors and oxygen donor. The oxygenated fuel is combusted in the combustion system.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims priority to and benefit of US Patent Application No. 61 / 304,403, filed February 13, 2010, entitled "FULL SPECTRUM EN ERGY AND RESOURCE INDEPENDENCE," which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. To the extent that the foregoing application and / or any other material incorporated herein by reference conflicts with the disclosure given herein, the disclosure herein controls. Background technique [0003] This application relates to devices, techniques and materials related to biofuels. [0004] Typically, in modern engines, fossil fuels provide incomplete combustion and produce unfavorable heat transfer, especially in automotive engine applications. In large part, this is because normal operation of the engine provides homogeneous charge combustion and allows the fuel undergoing combustion to extinguish, with the result that heat is lost to the piston, cylinder wall and head components along with pollutant emi...
