American newest research is expected to distill fuel from air by low cost

According to the ABC Web site on August 8, scientists said, the use of a common soil bacterium from the extract of the enzyme, can be transformed into thin air motor fuel. The method is expected to realize a low cost to produce environmentally friendly fuels carbon neutral, while the car engine without the need for substantial changes to the original design.
Living in food crops such as soybean roots in soil micro-organisms called Azotobacter would create an enzyme - vanadium nitrogenase in nature, an enzyme that generates ammonia by nitrogen. Now, the researchers confirmed that carbon monoxide can also produce propane, a camping gas stoves commonly used fuel.
The researchers found that when the oxygen and nitrogen vanadium nitrogenase from there, "away" and replaced with carbon monoxide, the vanadium nitrogenase will automatically start using the carbon monoxide to produce short-chain, the carbon chain length of only two or three atoms . Jonas Peters that the California Institute of Technology, vanadium nitrogenase of this new capability is a "far-reaching discovery", will have important industrial applications.
However, the real excitement is the potential for the manufacture of motor fuel. Co-author of research papers, University of California, Irvine scientists that this enzyme can eventually be modified so that it can not only create a simple chain of three carbon atoms of propane molecules, but also to produce the form of long-chain molecules of gasoline. He said: "Obviously, if we can create carbon - carbon long chain, which will produce synthetic liquid fuels is a new way."
