Gasoline so clean it's like swapping to 11 million EV's

Nacero's 93,000-barrels-per-day Penwell facility will earn a lifecycle (Scope 1-3) CO2 equivalent footprint* of 25 million metric tons per year. That's a 55-percent reduction from the 56 million tons that a typical crude-oil plant would be assigned for producing an equivalent amount. This is mostly because refining gasoline by cutting down super long and complex hydrocarbons from crude results in all sorts of other heavier, dirtier byproducts that you simply don't get when assembling gasoline from smaller methane molecules.

    I have been reading about this since 2021. It seems almost too good to be true but they already have some vehicles running on their fuel. This is a game changer if it happens in a big way.


    What will be the lefts rant about fracking now?

    Adults doing science on real energy

    Did they need a white house task force and billions in stimulus money?

    There’s plenty of time for government to block them financially from progressing on technology still.
