POP-FAME

  • Biofuel experts took inspiration from an antifungal molecule made by Streptomyces bacteria to develop a new type of fuel. The key molecules used in this are called POP-FAMEs, short for ‘Polycylcopropanated Fatty Acid Methyl Esters’.
  • POP-FAME fuel has an energy density values more than 50 megajoules per litre, which is greater than the most advanced heavy-duty fuels used today, including the rocket fuels used by NASA.
  • As these fuels would be produced from bacteria fed with plant matter made from carbon dioxide pulled from the atmosphere. Thus, burning them in engines will significantly reduce the amount of added greenhouse gas.
