  • Production of synthetic hydrocarbons from air, water and low cost electrical power
    Patent number: 4339547
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing synthetic hydrocarbons such as gasoline and/or kerosene from the synthesis of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The carbon dioxide is obtained from the atmosphere while the hydrogen is obtained during the electrolysis of water. An intermediate fuel, namely methyl alcohol may be stored for use or upgraded to higher heating value hydrocarbons by a catalytic conversion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 1980
    Date of Patent: July 13, 1982
    Assignee: Grumman Aerospace Corporation
    Inventors: Marshall J. Corbett, Salvatore C. Salina
